This holiday season is bittersweet for Alexa PenaVega and her family, who are navigating a tragic loss.
Almost eight months after she and husband Carlos PenaVega announced the stillbirth of their fourth child, daughter Indy Rex PenaVega, the Spy Kids alum shared a memory of their baby girl and an update on their grief journey.
“She was so beautiful,” Alexa recalled to E! News’ Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview. “She was a chunky little girl, looked just like Carlos.”
Alexa, who also shares with her husband sons Ocean, 6, and Kingston, 5, and daughter Rio, 3, said the family experienced “pain with purpose” following their baby girl’s death.
“We would cry and we hurt and we grieved, but we also celebrated. We also rejoiced,” the 36-year-old continued. “I hug my kids that I have here on Earth a little tighter, but I still feel so connected to Indy. I know she’s up in Jeaven. I know she’s dancing with Jesus and having the best time ever.”
