Newlyweds Japan B.League star Kiefer Ravena and Diana Mackey have shared the heartbreaking news that they suffered a miscarriage—just three months after publicly announcing their pregnancy.
Filipino basketball star Kiefer Ravena and beauty queen Diana Mackey recently opened up about the highs and lows of their journey as newlyweds—recounting the joy of their wedding day and the heartbreak that quietly followed—in a candid interview with Boy Abunda.
“I tried so hard not to cry,” Diana said, recalling the emotional moment she walked down the aisle.
“I cried, but I think I let it all out before walking down the aisle. Syempre I didn’t wanna ruin my makeup, pero when I saw him, it was really hard not to cry. He [Kiefer] cried!”
“Actually, I’m a very hard person to shed a tear,” added Yokohama B-Corsairs guard Kiefer with a laugh. “We were already kidding about it—that if I didn’t shed a tear, she would go back all over again.”
“Babalik talaga ako from the top,” Diana joked.
As the conversation turned more personal, the TV host gently brought up a question some netizens had been curious about—Diana’s baby bump.
That moment led the couple to share something deeply personal that they had quietly carried.
“Shortly after announcing it, a week after announcing it, or two weeks? We lost the baby,” Diana revealed.
“At seven weeks,” she added.
“But you know, [we believe in] God's plan, God's timing. Best thing siguro that happened is now she's healthy. Hopefully, with God's grace, we could try again and see where it takes us,” Kiefer said. “Life goes on.”
The couple has shared their relationship journey publicly over the past year. In October 2024, they became Instagram official.
