Samantha Busch, the wife of NASCAR star Kyle Busch, has opened up on the “marital struggles” they underwent after she suffered a miscarriage.

2015 saw the pair welcome the birth of their first son, Brexton, tipped to be a future NASCAR racer, via IVF. Then in 2022, they welcomed the birth of their daughter, Lennix, following years of struggles, via a surrogate. However, between Brexton’s and Lenix’s births, the pair suffered heartbreak in their efforts to have a second child, with Samantha sadly suffering what she describes as a “very sudden miscarriage.”

Recently, the 39-year-old appeared on Savannah Chrisley’s ‘Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley’ podcast, where she revealed the challenges she and her husband had struggled with in the face of adversity.

“We had a lot of marital struggles because we had never dealt with something so heavy [the miscarriage] and we didn’t understand how each other were grieving and we didn’t understand what each other needed in that time and place, so it was a struggle,” Busch told Chrisley.

“So we worked on it. We worked really hard. We went to marriage counseling.”

“I just had this immense guilt and I was so mad at myself for it,” said Samantha. “Kyle, on the other hand, he was like, ‘You know, I’m not trying to sound cold, but it’s done. There’s nothing that you can do to change this outcome. We have to keep moving forward.’

She added: “And I wanted him to still be in the trenches with me and he was moving forward and I couldn’t move forward.

“So that caused a lot of animosity for us and it took us a while to just understand each other’s perspectives and where we were coming from.”

Samantha was also pregnant with twin girls at one point via IVF, but ended up losing both of them.

“We went back two weeks later and both of them were gone,” she continued. “Unfortunately, my body thought I was still pregnant and wouldn’t miscarry, so my body was growing two empty sacs. I let that go for a bit until, unfortunately, I had to have a D&C two days before Mother’s Day.”

She added: “Lo and behold, God blessed us, and we have our daughter, Lennix, and she was born May 10, 2022, via our carrier, and she just turned 3 last month.”
