“Vanessa and I have experienced a loss we’d like to share. We recently discovered she was pregnant. This came about by surprise and really changed our perspective on life and our future. We started to think about a future with our child,” Colt wrote.
“We both became really happy with the prospects and imaginations of sharing a life with them.”
“Unfortunately, the only news I can give on them is that they will no longer be joining us,” he added. “It breaks my heart.”
Colt, who starred on Season 1 of 90 Day: The Single Life with Vanessa on discovery+ — shared a slideshow of photos along with his statement, including one image of the baby’s sonogram photo.
Colt also posted a picture of a document showing Vanessa had taken a pregnancy test on September 2, 2021 that came back positive and the couple’s child was due on April 21, 2022.
Colt’s mother, Debbie Johnson — who will be starring on Season 2 of 90 Day: The Single Life when it premieres Friday, November 12 — wrote in the comments section, “My heart not only breaks but also aches for what Vanessa and Colt are going through.”
“It is so very sad that things like this happen. One minute you are on top of the world with joy,” Debbie continued.
“Then the next you can’t believe how much it hurts. My love goes to my family. I love you both Colt & Vanessa.”

Before Colt made the public announcement, Vanessa hinted she was going through a very challenging time on Instagram without revealing specifics.
“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest,” Vanessa shared on Instagram, according to In Touch Weekly.
Vanessa quoted Jamie Anderson and added, “Grief is just love with no place to go.”
During Part 2 of 90 Day: The Single Life’s Tell-All in May, Colt shocked viewers by saying he and Vanessa had secretly wed.
“I love Vanessa so much I married Vanessa and didn’t tell anybody in this f-cking room,” Colt reportedly said.
Colt and Vanessa reportedly tied the knot while enjoying a road trip through Reno, NV, about a month before the Tell-All taping.
“It was very simple. Very private,” Colt explained of the elopement.
Not even Debbie was made aware of their nuptials, In Touch reported, until she watched the 90 Day: The Single Life episode.
Colt and Vanessa were shown getting engaged on a dock at Big Bear Lake in Southern California during the finale of 90 Day: The Single Life in early May despite Vanessa’s trust issues and the couple’s struggle with Colt’s high sex drive and relationship expectations.

Colt told Us Weekly how he and Vanessa actually got engaged on November 1, 2020 after only a month of dating. (Colt was spotted filming proposing marriage, however, on November 26, 2020).
Colt filed for divorce from his first wife, Larissa Dos Santos Lima — with whom he starred on Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance and Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? — in January 2019 after an explosive fight in his Las Vegas home.
Colt finalized his divorce from Larissa in April 2019, and Vanessa’s divorce from her ex-husband, True Maudsley, became official in November 2020.
Once his divorce was finalized, Colt struck up a romance with Jessica Caroline and the pair starred on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?.
“After my divorce from Larissa, I wanted to date Vanessa immediately. I was like, ‘Hey, want to try it?’ And she wasn’t interested,” Colt explained on the Tell-All special of the TLC spinoff’s fifth season.
Vanessa then shared, “He did ask me to be his girlfriend, and I said, ‘No,’ and then I kind of started dating somebody else and he got upset.”
Vanessa reportedly said at the time Colt was not her type and she likes “bearded tattooed men.” She supposedly couldn’t see past Colt’s looks.
Colt admitted on the show he had sex with Vanessa one time but didn’t tell Jess, who never trusted Vanessa during her short-lived romance with Colt that ended in October 2019.

“Okay, after I came back from Brazil, I cheated on Jess with Vanessa. I’m sorry, Jess,” Colt confessed on the Happily Ever After? Tell-All, later adding, “And then after we broke up, [Jess], I slept with [Vanessa] some more.”
Jess asked Colt why he started dating her when he clearly loved Vanessa all along, and Colt replied, “Because Vanessa said, ‘No.’ If she said, ‘Yes,’ I would’ve dated her in a second. I’m sorry that you were in a sh-tty relationship with me. It was a summer fling.”
Vanessa said on the Tell-All she liked Colt only “as a best friend” because she “wouldn’t trust him as a boyfriend.” Colt, however, insisted he had never cheated on Larissa.

Although Colt and Vanessa insisted they were just friends for months, the pair were photographed walking hand-in-hand down a Las Vegas street in September 2020. Colt also grew a beard, probably to Vanessa’s liking!
Jess went on to wed a man named Brian Hanvey, and Larissa was rumored to be engaged to Eric Nichols on March 2021; however, it appears Larissa and Erik are no longer together.
Larissa suggested on Instagram in August her relationship with Eric remains amicable.
