‘Love is Blind’ favorites Lauren and Cameron share how their difficult fertility journey has made them ‘stronger’

Love Is Blind veterans Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton are still going strong and credit their difficult fertility journey with bringing them closer as a pair.

In the second episode of the couple’s latest podcast “Abode of Love,” released on Wednesday, October 23, the series’ fan favorites publicly discussed their difficult journey to conception and the pressure they felt for the primary time from family and society.

“We’re talking about something we’ve never talked about before,” Speed-Hamilton, 36, said at first of the episode, adding: “It’s fertility and our fertility journey.”

Hamilton, 34, noted: “The number one question we’re always asked is, ‘When are you going to have a baby?'”

The Hamiltons, who met and married in the course of the first season of the favored Netflix reality show, will have fun six years of marriage in November.

Although Speed-Hamilton admitted that she enjoys talking about her life and marriage, she stated, “I’ll be honest, this conversation isn’t the easiest for me.”

She continued, “But I think it’s very important to talk about it so that you can see yourself in the conversation we’re about to have.”

Hamilton asked his wife how she thought her difficulty conceiving had affected their relationship.

“It made us feel more connected. I feel we support one another, we’re more in tune now,” she replied, adding: “I feel like in a wedding or another relationship, if you’re going through something big and heavy or weighing heavily in your heart, it creates a bond.”

Finally, she said, “I think it really made us stronger.”

Hamilton agreed, then added: “When I saw what you were going through when it comes to taking the medications, having the every day injections, knowing that IVF and all that stuff wasn’t something you naturally desired to do, but you probably did it for me — you showed me a brand new level of affection that I even have never seen before.”

The data scientist became emotional when Speed-Hamilton thanked him for his words of appreciation.

Later within the episode, the pair hangs out with fellow reality stars Shelah Marie and Ace Hood from season 4 of “Love and Hip Hop Miami.” During a vigorous discussion, the quartet explores the subject of fertility and its impact on a relationship.

At one point, Marie reminds the group that on the subject of fertility, “there are a lot of things you can’t control.”

She also shared how she gained acceptance during her fertility journey by asking herself a series of probing questions that included: “Will I continue to create the life I’m in love with?” and “Am I still going to create a legacy? Does the inheritance have to be exclusively related to the child? What will I do without it?”

She added: “The more I do it, the less I need a child to achieve it.”
