Love Is Blind alum “Sparkle Megan” Walerius revealed that she experienced a miscarriage.
“Sadly, this isn’t the announcement I had hoped to share,” Megan, 36, wrote via Instagram on Friday, October 15, sharing a photo of 15-month-old son Brooks wearing a “Big Brother” shirt. “Yesterday was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, and while I wasn’t sure I wanted to share this part of our story, it felt like the right time.”
She continued, “A few weeks ago, we experienced a miscarriage. And while I know just how incredibly common pregnancy loss is, knowing that doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking.”
Megan announced during the season 9 reunion in October 2025 that she had secretly welcomed her first child with new partner Paul Wegman in the year since wrapping production. (Megan had called off her pod engagement to Jordan Keltner ahead of their would-be wedding day.)
Despite viral talk about proper Love Is Blind engagement ring etiquette, the answer was quite simple for “Sparkle Megan” Walerius. “This was not shown, [but] we were looking at different rings,” Megan, 35, said on the Thursday, November 6, episode of the “Off the Vine” podcast. “I mean, my ring was beautiful but [it wasn’t […]

Megan and Paul, who celebrated Brooks’ first birthday in July, are still hopeful to expand their family further one day.

“I’m choosing to trust the timing of it all, even when I don’t understand it, and remain hopeful that another little soul will find its way to our family when the time is right,” the Netflix alum noted. “[I am] sharing this because I know so many women and families have walked this same road, often quietly.”
She concluded, “While it’s common, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. If you’ve experienced this kind of loss, my heart is with you. Here’s to healing, hope, and hopefully seeing this little guy in his big brother era someday soon.”
“Sparkle Megan” Walerius introduced her new boyfriend, Paul Wegman, during the Love Is Blind season 9 reunion — but he didn’t stay for the entire taping. “He’s been awesome, so he thought it was fun,” Megan, 35, recalled on the Thursday, October 30, episode of the “What’s the Reality” podcast of Paul, 46, attending the […]
Megan met Paul at a wellness retreat just four months after calling off her Love Is Blind engagement, telling Us last year that pair “immediately clicked.”
“When you know you, you just know — that’s how it was immediately with Paul,” Megan exclusively told Us in November 2025. “I think with Jordan there were still some things that I had doubts about. Paul and I — we know how to communicate. We’re emotionally available with one another. We can have fun. We can also sit on the couch and do nothing and not talk.”
