Ludacris’ wife Eudoxie suffered a miscarriage earlier this year.

Eudoxie Mbouguiengue took to Instagram on her birthday to reveal that suffered a miscarriage and had to have surgery earlier this year.  “Lord, I thank you for the gift of life. This year didn’t necessarily start off right for us. I had a miscarriage and needed to have surgery. It was very easy to complain and self pity but I refused to let the enemy win,” she wrote.

Ludacris and Eudoxie got married over the holidays in 2014 before welcoming daughter Cadence Gaëlle back in 2015. The 40-year-old American rapper and actor also has two other daughters, Karma and Cai, from previous relationships.

Eudoxie Continued: “I stayed faithful and prayed up. I spent hours focusing on the many ways the Lord has blessed me. How could I complain when God has blessed me with the opportunity to already experience motherhood? I’m sharing this with you all to remind you to live in gratitude.”

“When the enemy tries to knock you down, get even closer to your faith. My faith has been tested many times throughout my life but I’m only getting stronger. Life will not always go as planned and keeping a positive and grateful attitude will only bring more and bigger blessings.”
