The test read pregnant, and Lauren Speed-Hamilton collapsed to her knees in tears.
That single word brought an end to years of quiet heartbreak for Lauren and her husband, Cameron Hamilton, who rose to fame in 2018 on Netflix’s Love Is Blind. Now, after four years of trying to conceive, the fan-favorite couple is expecting their first child—a moment they describe as an answered prayer.

In an exclusive interview with People, the Hamiltons shared the highs and lows of their fertility journey, revealing what they had kept private for so long: multiple rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF), painful setbacks, and the spiritual strength that carried them through it all.
“‘Seeing the word pregnant, it was amazing,’ Lauren told People. ‘We just looked at each other. I fell to my knees and cried. It’s been a long time coming.’”
Lauren and Cameron’s love story began in one of the most unconventional ways imaginable. On Love Is Blind, they fell in love sight unseen, bonding through deep conversations about faith, family, and purpose inside isolated “pods.”
“I had given up on the fairytale,” Lauren wrote on Instagram in 2020. “Clearly, God had the last laugh.”
They married in November 2018, just weeks after first laying eyes on each other. Their book, Leap of Faith: Finding Love the Modern Way, chronicles the spiritual foundation of their union.

“It’s pretty apt to say that we were seeing each other’s souls,” Cameron said in an interview with CNN, echoing the couple’s belief that their connection was divinely orchestrated.
As their public image thrived, privately, the Hamiltons were walking through a valley. For four years, they tried to conceive, undergoing fertility treatments behind closed doors. On their podcast, The Love Seat, the couple opened up about the emotional toll of IVF.
“The number one question we are always asked is, ‘When are you going to have a baby?’” Cameron said in an October 2024 episode. “It’s one of those things where we want to be honest, but it’s still painful.”
Lauren admitted she struggled to open up. “I like to share a lot of things, but this is one that’s still kind of tough,” she said.
She endured hormone injections, medications, and procedures—often with Cameron by her side, helpless but supportive.
“Cameron told Lauren through tears on the podcast, “IVF wasn’t something you naturally wanted to do, but you did it for me.””
The long-awaited positive test came just days after a devastating loss. Lauren’s father, Bill, passed away on Christmas Day 2024.
“It was literally light in the darkness,” she told People. “We know that he’s watching over us.”

The contrast of grief and joy was almost too much to process—but for Lauren, it felt like divine timing. The pregnancy, she said, became “the spark that my whole family needed.”
Now in her second trimester, she is navigating food aversions, cravings (especially cheese), and preparing to become a mother. Through it all, Cameron has remained her rock.
“He’s just been so great, so patient and just awesome,” Lauren said. “I’m so blessed to have a partner like him.”
For the Hamiltons, this moment is not just about expanding their family, it’s a testimony.
“I am looking forward to holding the baby and hearing that first cry,” Lauren said, adding that she can't wait to “relive my childhood through the baby.”
Their story, while deeply personal, is one many couples can relate to. According to the CDC, 1 in 5 women in the U.S. face infertility challenges. By sharing their own, the Hamiltons hope others will feel less alone and more empowered to keep believing.
Now, with their miracle baby on the way, they are living proof that God’s promises may tarry, but they do not fail.
