Demi Lovato‘s younger half-sister, Madison De La Garza, heartbreakingly revealed that she lost her baby girl after undergoing an ’emergency C-section’ in late September.
Earlier last month, it was revealed that Madi, 22 – who is known for portraying Eva Longoria‘s on-screen daughter in Desperate Housewives – was expecting her first child with boyfriend Ryan Mitchell.
However, the actress gave a tragic update on Instagram on Saturday and wrote, ‘On the evening of September 27th, after an emergency c-section, Ryan and I held out little girl for the first and last time.’
‘Thank you, Xiomara, for making us parents to the most perfect angel in heaven. Mommy and Daddy love you sweet girl.’
Demi, 32, responded to her sibling’s emotional post in the comment section and penned, ‘love you so much Xiomara. An angel in every sense of the word. I’ll be your auntie forever.’

At the time, she uploaded photos from Instagram that appeared to have been taken at a baby shower.
In the caption, the actress wrote, ‘oh ryan, how I love you. thank you for making all of my dreams come true. baby mitchell 10.24,’ seemingly referencing to the due date.

Earlier this year in June, the star went public with her boyfriend, Ryan, on her main Instagram page.
Madi uploaded a selfie with Mitchell as they posed with a scenic view behind them, and typed, ‘My whole world.’

In February of last year, she had opened up about her sobriety which had been achieved by using the TikTok ‘ancestors’ trend.
On the topic of becoming sober, Madi told E! News last year in March that she took ‘advice’ from her older sister, Demi, over the years.
The former Disney channel star has been open about her mental health and past struggles with substance abuse.
‘She obviously gives me a lot of great sister advice, but I think it’s more powerful to see her in action,’ De La Garza said of Lovato.
‘I’ve started to share my personal story and I would have never, ever, ever done that if it wasn’t for her. Her honesty, her bravery and being an open book, I think that is what drives me.’
During a separate interview with E! News last month, Demi had shared her excitement about becoming an aunt.
‘I’m really excited to have new life come into our family. Family is very valued to me. I value family and friends over success any day,’ the singer said.

She portrayed the character of Juanita Solis in the hit series, Desperate Housewives, from 2008 through 2012 (seen above with Eva Longoria)
‘When people ask me what piece of advice I would give to child performers today, I would say to value meaningful connections in your life over success because at times, I didn’t do that, and I regretted it.’
Lovato added, ‘But now that I am reflecting a lot, I’m able to say that family means so much to me and I’m excited to be an aunt.’
Similar to Demi, Madi has also found success in the entertainment industry as a filmmaker and actress.
She portrayed the character of Juanita Solis in the hit series, Desperate Housewives, from 2008 through 2012. She also had an uncredited part in her sister’s Disney movie, Princess Protection Program (2009).
