After Maci suggests that they should consider looking into adopting an older child who's between four and six years old, the conversation gets heavy when Taylor mentions how easy it would be for them to get pregnant again. A few tense moments pass before Maci cryptically reminded her husband of something, saying, "You're forgetting something . . . Think about it." Without responding, Taylor excuses himself from the table.
When the producers ask about the tense exchange, Maci reveals that they miscarried in 2017. Although Taylor made it clear that he didn't want to talk about the miscarriage, Maci explained that her experience may be able to help other women going through the same thing. "I think it's important for people that are watching, that we talk about it."
