PenaVega and her husband Carlos announced Indy's stillbirth back in April, sharing in a joint Instagram post that Indy had been \"born at rest.\"

\"It has been a painful journey. But in the pain we have found peace,\" they wrote in a statement at the time. \"God continues to comfort and hold us in his arms. The prayers from the community around us have been so sustaining in this difficult season. This little girl has already changed our lives in so many ways. She was absolutely beautiful. And looked just like daddy. Dark hair and all.\"

\"Grief has come to us in waves. Moments of feeling absolutely gutted… then moments of feeling blessed by just getting a moment with her,\" they continued. \"We can’t understand why things like this happen and we may never get those answers. Indy Rex PenaVega, you completely changed our world. You moved us to a new place. You gave us the community we have been longing for. We love you can’t wait to see how many other lives you change.\"

PenaVega and her husband married in 2014 and share two sons, Ocean and Kingston, as well as a daughter, Rio.
