We’ve seen so much of Whitney Port‘s life over the years—after all, The Hills and The Hills: New Beginnings star has been on our screens for over 10 years. But Port recently shared her most personal story yet, in which she reveals she had a miscarriage two weeks ago.

Port shared the story during an intimate interview with her husband, Tim Rosenman, on her podcast With Whit, and then posted footage of the exchange on Instagram. In it, she describes how she felt when she found out the news. (She and Rosenman were expecting their second child after giving birth to their son in 2017.)

“This is really hard for me to write. Two weeks ago, I had a miscarriage,” she explains in the Instagram caption. “The amount of various emotions I felt in the past couple weeks have been extreme…from shock to sadness to relief, which then led to guilt for feeling that relief.”

She continues, “My identity has been shaken in regards to who [I am] as a mom and human being. I’m currently in the process of learning to accept that my feelings are valid no matter what they are. Whether or not people feel the same way as me or not. They are my personal emotions that are the result from my own journey.”

This is not the first time Port has opened up about her experiences with motherhood—she previously talked about a tough incident she had in which she felt she was mom-shamed, and she encouraged other women to share their own stories. She’s approaching the story of her miscarriage in a similar way, explaining in her Instagram that she wants to use her platform to open the floor up to other women who have gone through the same thing.

“The video above is a glimpse into the story and coming to terms with how I feel,” she writes. “I welcome anyone to share their stories or feelings. I want my platform to be an open place where we can share difficult conversations.”
