Celebrity relationship news. Today, we’re delving into actress Jennie Garth’s heartfelt revelations about her fertility struggles and their impact on her marriage to Dave Abrams.
Jennie Garth Reveals IVF Journey That Led to Brief Separation
In a candid interview with SELF magazine, 90210 star Jennie Garth, 52, has opened up for the first time about the challenging period she and her husband, Dave Abrams, 43, faced while undergoing IVF treatments. The actress revealed that their struggle to conceive led to a 10-month separation in 2018.
“[We] were trying to have a baby, and it kept failing,” Garth shared. “And that was hard on us individually and our relationship.” The couple’s decision to eventually “let go” of their hopes for expanding their family paradoxically strengthened their bond.
New Chapter in Their Love Story
Despite the heartbreak of unsuccessful IVF attempts, Garth and Abrams found a silver lining. “It freed us up to love each other differently,” Garth explained. She praised Abrams as “an incredibly supportive, loving person,” highlighting his constant efforts to make her happy.
The couple’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. They briefly separated in 2017 when Abrams filed for divorce, but he withdrew the petition in February 2019. Their reconciliation story is a testament to their commitment and love for each other.
Garth, who shares three daughters – Luca (26), Lola (21), and Fiona (17) – with ex-husband Peter Facinelli, found love with Abrams after her previous marriage ended. The couple engaged in 2015, just three months after being set up on a blind date, and married that same year.
Abrams has embraced his role as a stepfather, sharing on Garth’s “I Choose Me” podcast how his life transformed from being single to co-parenting three girls. “All of sudden, I’m taking them to school [and] walking them to class,” he recalled, emphasizing the importance of putting the children first in their blended family dynamic.
The Power of Therapy and Communication
Both Garth and Abrams credit therapy for helping strengthen their relationship. They’ve learned to navigate the complexities of their fast-tracked romance and the responsibilities that came with it. Garth expressed pride in their growth as a couple and in Abrams’ willingness to commit fully to their family life.
As Jennie Garth and Dave Abrams continue to nurture their relationship, their story inspires couples facing similar challenges. Their journey highlights the importance of communication, mutual support, and the power of love in overcoming life’s obstacles.
