It’s not something people talk about every day, but pregnancy loss is fairly common, especially in the first and second trimesters. These types of losses happen to celebrities, too. And recently, Demi Lovato’s sister, Madison De La Garza, announced the death of her first baby.
To recap, Madison, 22, is the Camp Rock star’s younger half-sister. She is the daughter of Lovato’s mother, Dianna De La Garza, and step-father, Eddie De La Garza. Lovato, 32, also has one older sister, Dallas Lovato, 36, and an older half-sister, Amber Lovato, from her dad Patrick Lovato’s previous relationship.

“Baby girl Xiomara, I miss you everyday.
I’ll take good care of your mom, so you can fly away.
Watch over us and guide us and give us little signs.
One day we’ll come and see you, it just might take some time.
