BTN News: Colombian actress Johanna Curé, known for her roles in international series like Grey’s Anatomy and NCIS, recently shared heartbreaking news with her fans. Curé, who hails from Barranquilla and has also made a name for herself as a model, revealed through an emotional Instagram post that she and her partner, Scott Rosenthal, have lost their baby. The couple was expecting their first child, a son named Gael, but after a long and difficult journey to conceive, they were met with the unimaginable pain of his passing. Curé’s message, filled with love and sorrow, resonated deeply with her followers, offering a glimpse into the profound grief that comes with such a loss.
In her poignant Instagram post shared on August 20, Johanna Curé expressed the profound impact Gael had on their lives, even in the brief time he was with them. She reflected on the joy and hope that Gael brought into their lives, calling his arrival “the most beautiful surprise this world could give.” Despite the deep sadness that now envelops them, Curé emphasized that she views Gael’s brief life as part of a divine plan, a sentiment that has brought her some comfort amidst the overwhelming grief.
Curé’s journey to motherhood was far from easy. After years of trying and enduring several unsuccessful attempts to conceive, the news of her pregnancy was nothing short of a miracle. However, the couple’s joy was tragically cut short. Curé described the seven months they had with Gael as filled with love, joy, and hope. He was surrounded by the love of his parents, family, and friends. They created beautiful memories, sharing their love for music, food, and travel with Gael, cherishing every moment with him.
In her heartfelt message, Curé wrote, “Seven months ago, we received the most beautiful surprise this world could give us: Gael came into our lives, filling them with love and the desire to be the perfect parents for him. During his seven months, he lived and enjoyed not only our love but also the love of our closest family and friends.” She went on to express the deep sense of loss they now feel, yet also the gratitude for the time they had with Gael. “He traveled, enjoyed music, ate delicious food, and brought our family closer together. But, to our deep sorrow, only his little soul lived—a time that seemed too short to us, but for him and God’s plan, it was enough to give us the greatest gift: being his parents.”
Curé’s message continued with a touching tribute to her son, saying, “Gael, I celebrate your beautiful life and cherish the memory of your existence because you deserve it, and everyone should know the beautiful son you were and always will be. Fly high, my love, and watch over us with your beautiful light that I know still shines in the sky forever.”
Scott Rosenthal, Curé’s partner, also shared his grief on social media, providing more details about the couple’s long and challenging path to parenthood. Rosenthal, who is involved in real estate, design, and the arts, described their four-year journey to conceive, which included seven rounds of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and three miscarriages. When they finally learned they were expecting Gael, they believed their miracle had arrived. Sadly, life had other plans.
In his own emotional post, Rosenthal wrote, “I’m going to be very vulnerable here, but with the heaviest of hearts, we share the devastating news that our precious Gael was born unexpectedly sleeping as we were 7 months and 6 days into what was going to be our miracle baby that we couldn’t wait to share with the world. Finally, we thought we had made it. We were so close.” He added, “Our hearts are broken, and we struggle to find words for our pain, but we find comfort in knowing that Gael will always be a part of us.”
The couple’s story is one of profound loss but also of love and resilience. Despite the heartache, Johanna Curé and Scott Rosenthal’s words reflect a deep connection with their son, who, although gone too soon, has left an indelible mark on their lives. The journey they shared with Gael, though brief, was filled with the kind of love that will last forever.
