Madison De La Garza—known to fans as the talented former Desperate Housewives star and younger sister to Demi Lovato—opened up about an incredibly emotional chapter. In an Instagram post on Saturday, October 26, Madison revealed that she and her partner, Ryan Mitchell, had welcomed a baby girl, Xiomara, through an emergency C-section last month. However, the little one didn’t get to stay long on this wild ride we call life.
“On the evening of September 27th, after an emergency C-section, Ryan and I held our little girl for the first and last time,” Madison shared, causing the internet to collectively clutch its heart and reach for the tissues. “Thank you, Xiomara, for making us parents to the most perfect angel in heaven. Mommy and Daddy love you, sweet girl.”
If you’re currently a puddle on the floor, brace yourself—because Auntie Demi entered the chat.
The Cool for the Summer singer, always ready with a heartfelt message, slid into the comments section to write, “I love you so much, Xiomara. An angel in every sense of the word. I’ll be your auntie forever. 💔” Someone cue the emotional montage—preferably soundtracked by one of Demi’s sad bangers.
And if your soul wasn’t already liquefied, Demi’s fiancé Jutes chimed in with, “I love you so much. Rest easy, baby angel Xiomara.” Cue every sad playlist on Spotify.
Meanwhile, Dallas Lovato, the oldest of the Lovato trio, went full poet mode with a beautiful tribute that’ll have even the toughest among us ugly crying by stanza two:
“Baby girl Xiomara, I miss you every day / I’ll take good care of your mom, so you can fly away / Watch over us and guide us and give us little signs / One day we’ll come and see you, it just might take some time.” BRB, sobbing.
She wrapped it up with: “Not a single day will pass without you in our hearts / I wish we got more time together before you had to depart. So have fun in your new world, the one we cannot see / Because every breath I take, I’ll be taking one for z.”
While humor often helps us get through the toughest times, this moment is one that simply demands love, hugs, and an abundance of tissues. Madison’s openness in sharing this chapter reminds us that life is as unpredictable as your mom’s Wi-Fi during a Zoom call.
Sending all the love and light to Madison, Ryan, and their families as they navigate this heartbreaking loss. Xiomara, you’ll forever be the tiniest, most perfect angel up there. And yes, Demi—we fully expect you to auntie like it’s your full-time job.
Fly high, sweet Xiomara. 💫
