'Thank you for the love': Nev Schulman's wife Laura Perlongo talks about 'gain and loss' as she suffers miscarriage
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nev Schulman's wife Laura Perlongo opened up about a recent pregnancy loss. The freelance writer revealed the news via Instagram by sharing a series of pictures where she addressed the emotions of "gain and loss." In the post, the writer first shared a picture of her well-manicured nails in a light shade of pink with a silver design and began the caption by writing, "Damn this manicure’s been through a lot." In addition to that, her post also featured photos and videos of her three children making crafts together, a positive pregnancy test, a selfie of her tummy, and a picture of a piece of paper with a drawing cut out.
"About to change it, the manicure that is, n feeling a lil sad to see her go. Maybe that's obvious, maybe not," Perlongo continued. Through the photographs in the post, Perlongo also addressed the couple's miscarriage. She shared a picture of a positive pregnancy test as well as a selfie that revealed her bare stomach. "Girl life is such a trip. Life n death, business as usual. No need for sympathy or anything, just didn't wanna change the nails on this one without saying a word even though that's the expectation I suppose. But it's all so intense and real or maybe it's delicate and fleeting. The gain. The loss. It's all the things. Bunch of fuzzy trash pics with unsure faces. Wasn't planning on posting until 14w," she further added. Perlongo and Schulman share three children: Cleo James, 6, Beau Bobby Bruce, 4, and Cy Monroe, 16 months.

Perlongo's post claimed that she and the co-host of 'Catfish', 38, intended to announce their fourth pregnancy during the 14th week. "I guess that woulda had a different spin. Wasn’t planning on any of it. And if it’s happened to you too, I'm just sayin it happens a lot. I'm just sayin I LOVED THIS GD MANICURE. And the all too real fantasy of what coulda been." She concluded her post by admiring the beauty of her life, "New month new nails tho and that’s OK by me. There’s still a lot of hands out there to hold, for now. Maybe forever for me. Until you let me hold your next baby, of course. 🤗 Love you love you love you. All the moms n future moms. All the babes n future babes. Dads n future dads too. But get up with that baby when it comes tho DADS or else you’re off the list and maybe that’s all I’m here to say 🤝 🙏❣️," she wrote.
Perlongo subsequently clarified in the comments as several fans seemed perplexed by her Instagram post. Perlongo commented, "Forgot to say i miscarried w pictures, sry for the confusion. Thought the giant empty body section cut out of the drawing did it but I relied on it too much in hindsight. Anyway, no baby! But thank you for all the love and texts."
In a May 2021 interview, Schulman revealed the couple's parenting experience even though he has not openly revealed the couple's miscarriage on his own social media accounts. "Every kid you have, it feels like you're leveling up and facing a new boss in the video game of parenting," he told. "And sure, you've got experience, but every boss is different. That experience only gets you so far. Because even just with the two kids, the dynamic changes, the needs change, the interactions change the difficulty level," he further added according to People.
