Mara Lane, wife of actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, took to Instagram over the weekend to share some heartbreaking news. "With much sadness, we open our hearts to share that J and I lost our second child, who was baking in the oven," she captioned the post. Lane previously gave birth to their first child, Wolf, in December of 2016, and said that Jonathan "especially" was looking forward to baby number two, and wrote the post in part as a response to photos of her husband that surfaced which showed him under the influence. The Vikings actor had notably been living a sober lifestyle.

"Depression is a real concern from past abuse as well as alcoholism which he was born with," she continued in the post. "He has been able to turn any ugliness and hurt in his life into art and is the strongest person I know. I do not know anyone who has been through what he has been through and reached his level of successes. It does seem though that every time we seem to be making so much progress... sometimes it's like two steps forward, one step back."
It continues:
"Thank you family and friends and all of you lovely kind beautiful people who send us good energy and thoughts and support. It is so appreciated. I have so much love for you.
To some others, my husband is an Irishman who battles alcoholism and depression and drank between jobs to try to cope with the sadness of this news. I am trying to and still learning/adjusting to living with the public, like one would as a concerned mother-in-law. I feel that whomever took photos of my husband was slightly in the wrong and was concerned for the wrong reasons but ... it's ok. It's ok. Maybe you have/had a family to feed and need/needed money? I don't know. We forgive you. He is safe and with his sober living companion and bodyguard to get into a detox closer to home since he was denied hospital help twice in Ireland because of an already two month wait period."

While the couple is saddened by the news, they also extended their love to places like Texas, Florida, India, and Mexico, which are suffering from natural disasters of their own.
