But leading to her first ultrasound appointment, the couple started receiving negative comments. Several people anticipated the scan and suspected the pregnancy was fake.
So, going for their first ultrasound scan felt like the couple needed to prove themselves to the world. These negative comments started flooding when one of their videos went viral.
Alex and Noah dressed up as construction workers for Halloween and held a sign that read “bump ahead.” Immediately, TikTok users bashed the couple, with some telling them to “abort the baby” because it “might have your disease,” read another comment.
The mother-to-be confessed it was the most hate she had ever received on social media, which was mentally exhausting. People asked what Alex would do if her boyfriend left her, and others blatantly said her pregnancy should be “illegal,” doubting her ability to care for her future child.
But whatever hate Alex and Noah received did not deter them from embracing their family. The couple remained excited for their next chapter as a family of three and wanted their love story to show the many different relationships that exist.
Just like any other couple, Alex and Noah made it clear that they are worthy of love and building a loving family together. So, to those that did not believe in them, Alex said, “We are not going anywhere.”
