Terry Crews revealed that his wife Rebecca King-Crews has previously experienced three miscarriages.
The retired football player, 56, opened up about his own grief while reflecting on Sky Elements’ drone performance that ‘depicted the story of losing a child’ on the latest episode America’s Got Talent, which aired on 9/11.
‘Me and my wife, we know what it’s like to lose a child,’ he told People. ‘We’ve had three miscarriages.’
The television host, who has hosted AGT since season 14, continued: ‘It’s one of those things where it was so meaningful and special because the dedication is just, it’s a way to process these things.’
The performance was choreographed to Lily Meola’s emotional track, Butterfly, released in 2022.

The father-of-five said the display was something the audience and viewers at home ‘needed’ to see.
‘This is the perfect AGT show today,’ he said. ‘We balanced out everything. We had the laughs, we had the dedications, we had the fun, we had the dancing. It was just all over the place and it was perfect.’
Terry also reflected on turning to music to cope with the losses and disconnecting from technological devices.
As he mourned the lives of his unborn children, Terry said he would ‘sit in a room and listen to music’ to process his feelings and emotions.
Additionally, he noted that talkin to his wife was really helpful.
‘We talk it out. We have really, really nice long, deep conversation,’ Terry explained of how he deals with heartbreak. ‘Turn the TV off, turn the phone off and let’s just talk it through.’
He continued: ‘And it’s amazing what that does. You know what I mean? Definitely. It really, truly, you turn around an hour later you’re like, “Wow, I can handle anything.”‘
Terry and his wife, 58, who wed back in 1989, have welcomed five children during their marriage.
The couple are parents to Naomi, 37, Azriél, 33, Tera, 26, Wynfrey, 21, and Isaiah, 19.
