‘Today is Elliot’s due date,’ Madisson penned in the heartbreaking post. ‘The day we were supposed to bring our baby home to snuggle and pass around the family.
‘The day he would meet all his aunts and uncles and grandparents. The very first grandchild of my family. Instead, today marks 3 weeks since I gave birth to my sleeping little Angel,’ she continued.
‘Three weeks since I last held him in my arms and kissed his perfect precious cheeks.’
Along with the sad caption, the reality star shared a black and white image of her arm revealing the name Elliot, tattooed in script.
‘Today is Elliot’s due date,’ Madisson penned in the heartbreaking post. ‘The day we were supposed to bring our baby home to snuggle and pass around the family. The day he would meet all his aunts and uncles and grandparents. The very first grandchild of my family. Instead, today marks 3 weeks since I gave birth to my sleeping little Angel,’
Madisson described her emotional and physical ‘limbo’ in the wake of losing the baby.
‘My body still physically aches to feed my baby boy. My heart and mind still can’t process that he’s gone, she wrote. ‘Everything triggers me…finding his pajamas in the laundry or just walking through the grocery store as I did a hundred times when he was in my tummy.
‘I feel so broken and lost without my son. They say ‘grief is just love with no place to go.’ I feel that so deeply right now,’ she said.
In late December, the Siesta Key couple revealed the heartbreaking news that Elliot was come into the world at 37 weeks stillborn earlier that month.
‘Instead of leaving the hospital with our beautiful baby boy, I was wheeled out with just this memory box,’ Madisson wrote at the time in an Instagram post.

‘It’s true what they say about there being no greater love than a mother’s love. And there is no deeper pain than losing a child.
‘Everyday I wake up to the agonizing reality that I will never again get to hold him or kiss him in this lifetime. I am completely and utterly heartbroken. I love you, I miss you, my perfect little Elliot.’
The sad caption came alongside a photo of Elliot’s baby box with his hat from the hospital and two photos, one blurred to obscure his face.
Ish shared a similar post on his Instagram account, and many friends and castmates offered their condolences.
‘This was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through,’ he wrote.
‘The pain of losing a child and the agony of watching my beautiful wife suffer, will haunt me for the rest of my days. I take comfort in knowing that one day we will be united and until then I will carry you in my heart. I love you, baby Eli, my little champion.’
Hausburg originally met Soto while shooting the first season of her MTV reality show between 2017-2018 when he was employed as a co-executive producer.
‘Everyday I wake up to the agonizing reality that I will never again get to hold him or kiss him in this lifetime. I am completely and utterly heartbroken. I love you, I miss you, my perfect little Elliot,’ she had first written when revealing her sad loss
