Influencer Laura Mellado and Victor Hallman Announces Death of Rainbow Baby

Influencer Laura Mellado and husband Victor Hallman have announced the death of their baby.

"Our babygirl was born into the arms of our Father 🥺🙏🤍 ," the pair wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 7. "Although we will never understand his plans, we are thankful that he gives us strength and peace during these hard times. Our babygirl made such an impact in such a small short amount of time & I'm so happy that we got to celebrate every moment with her."

The statement continued, "Thank you to our friends and family that have helped us during these times , the wonderful medical staff that let us hold her , dance with her & have her as long as we wanted thank you those moments will be treasured forever 💗🤍 to you guys thank you from the bottom of our heart for helping us celebrate every single moment with her we are forever grateful for your support 💗."

Alongside the statement, Mellado and Hallman shared a black-and-white photo of them in the hospital holding their child. The couple went on to share a message to their daughter in the caption.

"To our babygirl Mommy , Daddy & your brothers love you so so much & we can't wait to see you again babygirl 🤍," the caption read. "I just know you made heaven that much sweeter then it already is. These last couple days have shaped us in ways that we would never imagine , we see her everywhere & we're so thankful for the signs she continues to send us 🦋."

The statement continued, "‘Grief has a way of softening you , it teaches you to slow down to be where your feet are, to savor the little moments you once rushed past , to open your heart wider cause now you understand how sacred and fragile life really is. And somehow even through the ache LOVE remains , Forever together just in a different way now 🤍.'"

The pair concluded their statement with a Bible verse, which read, "‘For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' Jeremiah 29:11. God we trust your plans 🦋🥺💗."

Mellado and Hallman, who are parents to three sons, shared in January that they were expecting their "rainbow baby."

"Our rainbow baby 🤍🌈," the Instagram caption read at the time. "Thank You God for letting me carry another one of your precious gifts. We are so grateful to be here. See you so soon, sweet baby. June 2026 🤍."
