The Long Road to Parenthood: A Challenging Four-Year Journey
For four years, Lauren and Cameron openly shared their desire to start a family and their struggles with fertility. It wasn't an easy path, as many couples can relate to. They bravely discussed their experiences, including undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), on their podcast, "The Love Seat," back in October 2024.
"The number one question we are always asked is, 'When are you going to have a baby?'" Cameron shared at the time, highlighting the public's intense interest and their personal yearning. Lauren admitted discussing their fertility journey was "still kind of tough," but emphasized its importance "so that you can see yourself in the conversation that we’re about to have." Their transparency offered a beacon of hope and solidarity to countless others facing similar challenges.
The couple finally shared their joyous pregnancy announcement in May 2025 with a movie trailer-style video on Instagram. It was a beautiful montage chronicling their love story from their early Love Is Blind days, through adopting their first pet, to building their home together, culminating with a positive pregnancy test and the sound of a fetal heartbeat. Lauren told People magazine back then, "We've literally been trying to get pregnant for four years." Seeing that positive test was an emotional moment. "We flipped it over. We saw the word pregnant, and that was just a huge moment," Cameron recalled. "I fell to my knees and cried," Lauren added.

Ezra William Hamilton Makes His Grand, Early Entrance into the World
Baby Ezra William Hamilton made his debut on October 1st at 8:18 p.m., a little earlier than expected, as Lauren shared with her 2.5 million Instagram followers. The birth wasn't entirely smooth sailing, as Lauren experienced a pregnancy complication known as preeclampsia. This condition, which often occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy, can involve high blood pressure and other signs of organ damage, sometimes requiring an early delivery to ensure the safety of both mother and child.
Lauren spent a few days in the hospital, but thankfully, she and Ezra are now doing well. "To God be the GLORY! Our son, Ezra William Hamilton, made his debut October 1st, a little earlier than planned, but perfectly on God’s time," they wrote in their joint Instagram birth announcement. "After an unexpected turn with preeclampsia and a few days in the hospital, we’ve been taking it slow… healing, resting, and soaking up all the love."
Their posts featured tender photos of the new family of three, with Lauren cradling her newborn in her hospital bed and Cameron proudly holding his son close. The images radiated pure joy and relief, marking a truly intimate and special moment after their long journey.

A Name with Deep Meaning: How Ezra and William Were Chosen
The Hamiltons revealed the heartfelt story behind their son's unique name, Ezra, which means "help" or "helper" in Hebrew. Cameron shared with People that "The name ‘Ezra’ just came to us one day when we first started talking about baby names. Once I suggested it, we both agreed that was going to be his name. It felt right."
For Lauren, the name took on an even deeper significance. After her father, Bill, passed away on Christmas Day in 2024, she and Cameron were organizing his belongings. "We found a Bible that had been his mother’s," Lauren recounted. "When we opened it, the Bible opened to the book of Ezra and a picture of my dad fell out. That was a sign." This incredible moment solidified their choice, making Ezra's name a beautiful testament to faith and family legacy. His middle name, William, is also a direct tribute to Lauren's late father.
"It still feels surreal that we have a son after four years of trying to conceive. That said, the 4 a.m. feedings and diaper changes have definitely made it feel more real. I'm grateful for it all."

Life as New Parents: Joy, Sleepless Nights, and Future Dreams
Adjusting to parenthood is a whirlwind, even for beloved reality stars. Cameron confessed to People that despite the surreal feeling, "the 4 a.m. feedings and diaper changes have definitely made it feel more real. I'm grateful for it all." Lauren echoed this sentiment, admitting, "I’m not gonna lie, it’s been rough adjusting to the late-night diaper changes and feedings." But for this organized mom, "What’s been working for us so far has been sticking to a schedule as much as we can."
The joy, however, far outweighs the exhaustion. Lauren expressed, "He’s been such a blessing already. Having [him] has made the long journey worth it." Cameron recalled a precious first moment, "I got to see him open his eyes for the first time and in that moment I thought, 'I have to protect him for the rest of my life.'"
Looking ahead, both parents are excited for all the "firsts." Lauren can't wait for "first steps, first word, first time he ties his shoes… I want to see how his little face changes over time and if he has my dimples." Cameron is eager for "when he first experiences joy and we get to play games with him. I just want to see his little eyes light up and his imagination start to run."
From "Sight Unseen" to an Inspiring Family of Three
Lauren and Cameron's love story began in the most unconventional way on the inaugural season of Netflix's Love Is Blind, where they fell in love and got engaged "sight unseen" from separate pods. Their genuine connection transcended the show's unique premise, leading them to marry during the season finale and becoming one of the show's most enduring and beloved couples.
Since their televised wedding, which aired in 2020 (marking six years together in 2025!), the Hamiltons have continued to build their life together in the public eye. They've launched a successful YouTube series, "Hanging with the Hamiltons," hosted their podcast, "The Love Seat," and even co-authored a book, "Leap of Faith: Finding Love the Modern Way." Their journey has solidified them as fan favorites and unofficial ambassadors for the Love Is Blind franchise, proving that love truly can be blind and enduring.
The arrival of Ezra William is a beautiful new chapter in an already inspiring love story, a testament to their resilience, faith, and the powerful bond they share. Congratulations to the Hamiltons on their bundle of joy!
