The Love Seat Ep. 2 | Fertility, Family, and Unruly Journeys with Shelah Marie & Ace Hood

[@vnn23we]

Cameron’s love for Lauren is absolutely one of the most beautiful human loves I’ve ever witnessed. I actually just am so outdone with the first two mins of this. What a beautiful blessing to be married to a man like this. What a blessing. And I pray to Jesus who is The Healer of all will bless you all with a baby. I stand in Faith and will continue to on your behalf. GOD bless you.

[@zainabibraheem]

Amennnnnnnnnnnnnn

[@Daisymae657]

Pin this quote to the top. This is IT! No better comment I’ve seen here. It’s beautiful! ❤

[@kimtaylor3007]

YES YES AND YES!!!!!

[@nabsflorence5684]

We pray to God who knows everyone’s inner desires to bless u with Children. ❤❤❤

[@jacquelynjack4062]

[@stephh1228]

When Cameron was about to break down talking about his and Lauren’s fertility journey, I almost cried 😭 I tell everyone when LIB comes up that yall are THE only couple who really showed love is blind. We can see the true love you guys have for each other, yall are my fav 🫶🏼

[@casiedomingos5197]

They to me are the perfect example is that you have to show up ready for the fight. That’s the thing that lacks in all the other seasons people were clearly not ready for marriage or even to share a space let alone a life. Chile they need to wrap the show after this season lol

[@shevy80m]

What a beautiful moment to share!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I love that a relationship that started from a reality show has turned into a dynamic that has not only grown their own love story, but they’re using their love to grow relationships outside of themselves, whether it be self-love or romantic love. Like the old saying goes “love is nothing til you give it away”. Thank you for sharing & talking about important issues such as fertility. This space is truly needed. 🥰❤️ xo

[@DesCoop]

I love how Ace just lets Shelah thrive and he sits in his masculinity comfortably

[@leahbowen6323]

That moment at 30:40 when Lauren is smiling at Cameron, and he stops in his tracks after making eye contact with her😭 such a subtle but beautiful & tender moment

[@RaquelTWG]

Only 2 minutes in and already Cameron is taking me right back to those Season 1 pods 😭❤ Almost 5 years later and I'm still on the Lauren and Cam train

[@lifewithjaytay7043]

Exactly!!!

[@nanaadjoa5018]

6 years. They married in 2018 and the show aired 2 years after but yeah you’re right

[@adelaramirez970]

The way I just choked up seeing Cam about to cry. Sending so much love yalls way.

[@errolcjnelson]

If Love is Blind gave us nothing else, it gave Cameron and Lauren to each other and I’m sooo happy for them.

[@lizzierob8305]

Cameron & Lauren, thank you for sharing your fertility journey. As someone who has struggled with infertility and IVF myself, I know it was not an easy thing to talk about. Please know that you are not alone. You both are an inspiration with the love and support you show each other. Your future baby will be so lucky to have such great parents! Praying for you both!

[@lynncrf]

Did they talk about it more than just the start? The time stamps only suggest that they talk to their guests.

[@thenoellanaomi542]

@@lynncrf I was looking for more information too. They opened up that they are struggling to get pregnant and are doing IVF but they didn't share more than that.

[@breannacarlisle5441]

​@lynncrf it wasn't further discussed. I watched it when it first came out so I may be misremembering, but I think Lauren says she has a hard time talking about it. There were several times she almost started crying.

[@Nthabiseng_Malomile]

She gave language to my feelings about how as a millennial I was taught to focus on school and career then as a woman established struggling to conceive I’m shamed for the struggle. Like damn I thought I did the right thing. Sending love to you and every other couple trying to conceive, we wouldn’t have picked this journey for ourselves but here we are making the best of everything❤❤❤

[@petitendu8488]

I'm childfree by choice and I always wonder how my journey will be if I change my mind

[@Cillawk]

I've found those that struggle with fertility become more understanding and compassionate to those who are involuntarily single than those that are married and have children. Both are longing for something that is actually out of their control.

[@charmed21]

Aww Cameron starting to cry he loves Lauren so much and not afraid to show it. Another great episode, thank you for sharing this very personal story with us. Sending continued love and blessings to you all ❤

[@Sthandy746]

I love Cameroon’s love for Lauren ❤️😍

[@1slimgoddess]

Having gone through my own infertility issues and being blessed after 3 years of trying, this conversation is needed. All of their experiences were well expressed and perfectly explained. Birth control affects, being kind to yourself during the process, the support system, letting go of control, etc… so important for your audience.

[@frijosv6602]

I do not know the couple they were interviewing but i love what they were saying. Especially when she said she wanted to make sure when she had her child that her child didnt need to fulfill anything so shes making sure shes taking the time to heal. I love that ❤

[@awadiop4215]

Seeing how much Cameron loves Lauren is truly a blessing, seeing a man express how much he loves his wife and how much he is willing to support her is just so beautiful honestly I can’t get enough of it. Lord I ask bring me a husband like Cameron and also please I will pray for you to have a baby because I know yall would Make such good parents and honestly just seeing your marriage and your love story continue keeps getting better and better is such an inspiration and hope for me. Love you guys and will always follow you, season 1 was the best season.

[@aleceamills7395]

❤ the conversation, I have my first and only child at the age of 44 years so you can do it. Thanks to God my child is OK

[@L33BRAtheAuthor]

That's definitely reassuring

[@tinamitchell4543]

Thank you, Cameron and Lauren, for discussing this very important topic in an authentic and factual way. Truth is power, and there is more than one path to being a mother, a father and parents. God bless you two!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I came to say the same thing, but you worded it perfectly!

[@veshastressfree6070]

This podcast is so organic and I’m loving the two episodes so far ❤

[@veshastressfree6070]

I was in this position 4 miscarriages and in 2016 god gave me my miracle baby girl all of 8years old now god will make it happen and you’ll are gonna be such great parents 🫂❤️

[@Rosemari_2314]

I love Ace and Shelah’s spirit and the way they speak so lovingly about it each. Same with Cam and Lauren. This was a great episode and thank you all for being so open and raw.❤️

[@greereubie]

I watched this today simply because I adore both couples. I clicked and didn’t read the title! However, I started my IVF journey today and I now have a new found confidence and courage to embark on this Baby Journey! Thank you for this! 💕

[@shanamoore7520]

Cameron almost got me in the beginning. I was single when I was told fibroids would prevent me from having children. I have experienced being a bonus mom and found comfort in being around friends with children who are now having grandchildren. The journey has been different, yet still rewarding. Keep trying for your dream. Ironically, it happens more often when you stop trying for lack of a better word. Great interview, great couple on this episode.

[@Jambeauty098280]

Ace and Shelah had me smiling ear to ear. I love their love and I love the love you two also have for each other. Just great energy for such a hard hitting topic! Thank you all for your vulnerability!

[@sheniciawilliams49]

I was 46 when I had my son, I have two girls before this and at 46 I had the best pregnancy! God can do anything but fail! Keep hope alive

[@leisaamore7951]

I was not expecting this Deep, Raw, Authentic Conversation. I had no idea who the guests were, as I no longer watch much Reality TV. But, I was so pleasantly surprised with the Unfiltered, Honest, Vulnerable discussions. They definitely seem like such a Lovely couple, who truly complements each other, and much like Lauren&Cameron, their love and admiration for each is Inspiring. Great Interview Lauren&Cameron. 💖😍💖

[@carmelbronze9946]

This is so needed. Talking it out without blame or pointing the finger, but just coming to a resolve. That bring life and light to both sides. Well done Cam and Lauren.😊

[@shannonallen5775]

You will conceive!!! In the name of Jesus. 🙏🙏🙏

[@deew764]

This Episode was DEEP and BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@jerlynnghee207]

Delayed but not denied. Due to my PCOS, the doctor told me I couldn't conceive without fertility. I had my first baby naturally and lost him at 25 weeks. It took my husband and I 3 more years with IUI, & we have our 10 years old son Josiah.

[@L33BRAtheAuthor]

That gives me hope.

[@liveyourlifefree]

01:29 well, that was the Master class on how to make your audience cry in 2 minutes. That broke and healed my heart at same time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and wish you all the best in your lives 🙏

[@sylviahambrick7299]

Love the way Lauren Loves Cameron just as much as he Loves her❤❤❤

[@vnn23we]

Same. The love is what captured me from the beginning. Like they are really in love. That is so special. So blessed.

[@leillapires]

Love this episode as a fan of this amazing couple! Thank you for sharing, as someone that struggled to have kids for many years. Have had 04 miscarriages. When I was about to start the fertility journey God gave me my baby. I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant. My baby boy will be here soon and he is our miracle. Wishing to everyone that is trying or doing fertility treatments a healthy baby. ❤

[@tasiabromell7311]

Not me crying in the first two mins 😭😭😭

[@Daisymae657]

I think this episode was incredibly special and I appreciate the people that they had on, but I think that as fans of Lauren and Cameron, the beginning of this video was so impactful and so touching and truly beautiful to see displaying. The fact that the beginning of this was only a short snippet of what was to come in the overall episode; I was truly moved by those first few minutes and my heart is with them and we trust that God will make away for them. It really touched me Lauren and Cameron. Thank you for sharing. And not to speak too quickly but here’s to baby H. 😊

[@heathererica1886]

When I first had a miscarriage I was very emotional , In my moment of sadness and trauma the doctor turned to me and said “at least you can get pregnant “. I did went on to have a son and a daughter but it was a very humbling moment for me. I wish you both luck in your infertility journey .

[@Rosemari_2314]

This has been my story so far. Went through my first pregnancy and unfortunate miscarriage earlier this summer. I’m also someone who has history of fibroids and have had surgery to remove them, which unfortunately also led to me losing an ovary. I was also told at least I can get pregnant so I’m trying to hold on to this optimism and really just hope. It is extremely difficult for me emotionally but therapy and my husband is helping tremendously.

[@ruteafabor7220]

Sending lots of love and prayers your way from the UK. I went through my own fertility journey and now I have a son after 4 years. Thank you for sharing your story. I pray that God grants you the desires of your heart. In Jesus Name. Amen ❤️❤️

[@Daisymae657]

To hear that this journey has brought them closer, is a strong sign of deep love. How beautiful this blessing is. 😊

[@ourbreakthroughpodcast9353]

Hi, It’s me again!! I just have to shoutout the fellas, as you can see what healing, accountability, and intention looks like!! I know we’ve been throwing the buzz words like demure, mindful around. But I just want to take a moment to acknowledge how MINDFUL both Cam and Ace are. In fact, I was a fan of Ace for something he did in his role as a father (that went viral) before I even knew who he was, or that he was going to be on “that” show. Men…take notes of what THIS looks like. Blessings ❤

[@moodindigo7772]

Thank you for sharing and talking about something that soooo many people suffer through silently. I was told I had low ovarian reserve in my mid 20s. Infertility is heartbreaking, no matter the reason. Having a supportive, empathetic partner is necessary.

[@hannafromatlanta]

Thank you, Cameron and Lauren, for discussing your fertility journey! This conversation is so important and the power of truth goes a long way, especially as a 20-something! You both are killing it with the podcast 💛

[@nickiee4022]

Oh Lauren I really appreciate you opening up. I always get upset whenever people bring up the when are they having a baby question. As if EVERY woman can wakeup and be pregnant. As a woman that struggled with infertility, I think we can all take a breath and mind our own business. Don't stress Lauren. Don't beat up on yourself. The only thing you can do is your best. That's it! Sending you all the big sis love ❤️.

[@gloriametayer5786]

I became emotional when Camaron was tearing up, and Lauren was almost in pursuit. They're such a beautiful couple. God bless them.❤🌿❤🙏✝️❤🌿🕊🌿🌸🌿💕🙏😢

[@veshastressfree6070]

Cameron is just a great husband this made me cry😢😢

[@ayanabenjamin]

I can totally relate to the pressures and insecurities when going through a fertility journey. Thanks for sharing and encouraging all of us who may have struggled or continue to struggle.😊 Y'all are indeed a blessing

[@BabygirlJ]

I love that they are the OG couple that made everyone love this show. Now it’s just who can become IG famous.

[@tammyspeight7553]

Ace, Shelah, Cameron, Lauren........BRAVO❤❤❤❤❤

[@matsumi6554]

Speaking strictly on fertility, I am the daughter of a woman who had me at 48yrs old and my brother at 42yrs old. No IVF. If my parents had listened to strictly medicine, my sibling and I would not be here. We were born health, no developmental, physical or mental disabilities. So, Cam is right. So long as you as a woman are ovulating, you have every chance. I was unplanned on top of that. Blessings to both couples.

[@cherrypham5462]

This was much needed! You guys touched on so many topics that hit home. As a millenial woman so much of what you all talked about resonated with me. I feel so seen, thank you guys for sharing! Cam and Lauren, you guys picked an awesome couple for this episode! Thank youuuuu

[@lindiwemokhasi1146]

All the way from South Africa Loving every second of this!❤

[@saraanderson6615]

Lauren and Cameron, my son and daughter-in-law went through a long journey to get their daughter Savannah my granddaughter ❤ They did IVF finally and were blessed to get pregnant. And she will probably be the only child they have because what they have already gone through. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@sumiiluv]

Praying for you both to be blessed with the family you desire. Ameen

[@dannettejohnson2624]

Shelah and Ace are a great authentic couple! Love them❤! I really enjoyed this episode and them sharing their truth and issues which helps all of us. For me as someone who experienced fertility challenges I appreciated her willingness to share. I think when the Hamiltons are ready they could share as well, as they really didn’t open up much about their personal struggles during this episode. Looking forward to the other episodes coming out as well.

[@sheilaedwards7866]

This is an amazing platform; and it's just the beginning. Meet Oprah & Dr Phil, combined. This will be phenomenal! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chi-gemini2951]

God bless you all seriously. I have never in my life rooted for strangers like I root for you all. You all are so sweet and authentic. I honestly get so mad when I see people ask you all about having a baby in your comments on IG, I be wanting to snap on everyone 😂😂😂 Leave the Hamilton’s alone!!! I wish you all the best💕💕💕💕

[@xsheri_]

What a beautiful conversation 💛 thank you so much for your vulnerability Lauren and Cameron; I’m wishing you both, along with Shelah and Ace the best on your fertility journey 🙏🏾

[@goflolo]

The message I got from this conversation is "It will happen on the Lord's timing". Thank you Lauren and Cam for creating such a safe space and sharing your journey so important conversations like these can be had ❤ loving your content. Blessings to you both!

[@gwendolinelindsay4647]

A beautiful and very emotional podcast. Cam and Lauren your love for each other is really wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing your fertility journey, a very brave thing to do. I’m sure you have helped a lot of couples, being so open and authentic. I will be praying that you succeed at becoming parents. You may be surprised and things just happen when you least expect it. That’s what happened with my daughter. She has a hormonal issue and was told by doctors that her chances of getting pregnant were very slim. She resigned herself to being childless and decided to get a little dog baby especially as she was coming to the end of her 30’s. Out of the blue she conceived naturally without trying and is blessed with twins, due in a few weeks. Miracles do happen so stay positive. There is no distance in prayer so I will be sending lots to you from the UK. God bless you both 🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@kapiosita]

Omg to listen to this young couple. I love everything they are doing and who they are showing themselves to be. I see why they are friends with Cam and Lauren. Such a healthy couple. Listening to how they edify each other. The level of respect and love. Unmatched!!!

[@shayrosem]

Another banger Lauren and Cameron! Absolutely amazing topics and conversation

[@franssetshedi7312]

Very deep conversation, thanks guys for opening up. It certainly opened my world around fertility and how emotional and spiritual the process is.

[@kiaragill6995]

The Chemistry Of These Couples Are Everything ❤️❤️😍 The Topics And Conversation Was Tea 💫💫🔥

[@sheilaisaacs4360]

I enjoyed this interview with Shelah Marie and Ace Hood!! They are very beautiful and blessed couple. Thank you The Love Seat hosts Cameron and Lauren!!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤗🤗

[@KaylaLindsay-i6p]

This was such a beautiful conversation - my first time learning about Shelah and Ace and wow they're such a sweet couple , you can feel the genuine love and care for one another through the screen ✨

[@Daisymae657]

I wondered why they didn’t go live before this one and after seeing can see why. Infertility is a hard topic. I appreciate the openness. It is such a taboo topic, and it should not be. There’s no shame, there’s no need for guilt. GOD works all things out in this timing. Thanks for opening up to us once again. My heart truly was blessed, and I pray others see the importance of assumptions and asking inappropriate questions. Think before you speak. Please.

[@kimmyw010]

I think they went live just to introduce the podcast show in general.

[@corielizabethw]

Lauren and Cameron, I had to share my heart, I have followed you guys since season 1 and my friend had told me that she saw clips of your podcast where you speak about infertility and doing fertility treatments, I just want to sincerely thank you for using your voice and platform to shed light on a very difficult, sensitive, weight bearing issue, my husband and I have been on this fertility journey for 7 years, iuis, two rounds of IVF and we are still waiting on our miracle baby, I say this to say, for those who can only truly understand by having to go through it, my husband and I share our prayers and hearts with you during this journey - please know you don’t owe anyone anything, although I am thankful for your sharing I know how incredibly difficult it is to talk about and for you guys on such a major platform, praying continued strength, good health, and endurance 🙏🙏

[@bliindbeauty3738]

Cam tearing up almost made me cry 😭 thats was such an authentic moment between you 2💙

[@emiemms]

we love love - especially the love between cameron and lauren 🥹❤️

[@ForeverLuckyLika]

Lauren and Cameron, I’ll be praying for y’al. Stay close through this process. I know this journey can be tough & emotional, but don’t give up. ❤

[@justbeyou91]

💕💕 this was def a healing episode!

[@Christina-Claire]

Thank you for this conversation, especially being conscious about why you are bringing a child into this world. ❤

[@themcintoshmanor]

I'm glad that you are stronger than ever. I'm rooting for your success in all that you seek.

[@Buhlelikasanele]

Cameron I love the way u show your love to Lauren

[@roccadoc123]

This conversation was very relatable and needed! Because as women we are looked upon as to be a whole woman you need to have marriage and family. Struggling with my own infertility issues and now considering surrogacy without a significant other. And having people judging and offering unnecessary opinions on my choices, is more harder than anything infertility wise I’m dealing with. Truly love the real open and vulnerable conversations from the two couples. Lauren and Cameron my forever favs❤

[@ourbreakthroughpodcast9353]

Oh dang!! Cam got me already in the opening smh. 2 min in and I’m already 🥹. Love y’all…and even love you more, together ❤ ❤. Back to the episode!! Haha ~Vernae~

[@ksgnation]

37:00 I tuned in at the perfect time. I needed to hear this

[@NashvilleBraids]

I REALLY needed this one, y’all got me ready to get UNRULY up in here lol. I can’t make the Texas retreat but I love a good black woman healing book! Just to add, I feel like there are lots of spaces nowadays for Black women to come together spiritually and do some healing, but not all those spaces are safe. Women can be some of the most mean and backhanded towards each other especially in so-called healing circles. They speak of no judgement and then turn around and tell your business to anyone who will hear. There’s a rush to see who can be the most woke, and if you don’t fit that definition then you are pushed to the back and forced into a role of spiritual consumerism where only a couple of people are allowed to shine and all others must quiet themselves in the background. I believe like sis said, she is not anyone’s guru. We are ALL gurus to ourselves, we are all powerful and beautiful and talented and gifted, and we all have something to share with this world. I can’t wait to read this book!

[@Anonymous_JK_Lover]

Another beautiful episode! Ace and Shelah are a beautiful couple and a great example of working on yourself, being yourself, and being able to receive the right person for you when it's your time. I never watched their season of Love and Hip Hop because I was checked out of reality tv at that time, but the clips that I would see of them or compilations of their experience on that show always showed their vulnerabilities as a couple and how they were a support to each other. You can just tell they're best friends and they love being around each other like the voice characters to each other. These episodes as crazy as it sounds allow me to remain hopeful for romantic love as I continue to work on myself. Love between healed or always positively evolving people will always yield beautiful love❤

[@DuhiiTzDuhViine]

ok... not the first 2 minutes in and im crying.... yall are so cute

[@carolsparkes214]

Thank u both for addressing this issue of invertility. I wish u guys the very best in your future.

[@jsummer5032]

These are my couples....love them❤❤❤❤

[@mztajd1433]

When they discussed us women from the millennial was hoodwinked. It’s so true, they pushed success on us, being independent, not needing a man, and we can have kids old, it taught us to be masculine in a way. Now some of us have a hard time being soft in our relationships, we have control issues and the biggest one is realizing that fertility issues is a thing! So ppl who decided to wait now trying to have kids in their late 30s could be struggling. Great episode!!

[@Mattandsheaforever]

My husband and I fertility journey is a little different but the same (if that makes sense 🤔) we decided not to have more kids, removing my tubes, and it was the biggest regret as a couple. Started IVF a few months ago. Have to enter another cycle. But being patient and trusting God❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@t.j.8891]

This is such a beautiful episode. Confronting all the misconceptions and stereotypes woman must face.

[@michellehernandez2840]

A second show with one of my fave couples. Ace been laying low.

[@kswworld5267]

🥹🥹🥹These two just get me every time 😭😭😭. Love the Hamiltons ❤ and their friends too ❤️! Great episode

[@iamjeniferhjohnson]

I really enjoy your podcasts!! They are very open and honest with guests who are willing to open up and be completely transparent about their own life experiences and struggles and life situations they can continue to smile laugh and cry but yet they still keep pushing through their own journeys and remain humble about their relationships. I love it!! I overstand and understand it all!!

[@jsummer5032]

Been waiting for this podcast ...love you all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ForeverLuckyLika]

I love you all! I’ve never been pregnant, and I have come to terms with the fact that I may not have a child in this lifetime. I've grappled with some tough questions about the purpose of bringing a child into this world. I envisioned it as a beautiful experience to raise a life alongside someone I loved and who loved me in return. However, those relationships didn’t withstand the test of time, and I’m genuinely grateful we didn’t have a child together. It would have created chaos and distracted me from my own path, especially as I would have likely ended up raising a child as a single mother, which is where those relationships were headed and exactly what I didn’t want for me or my child. So I send you love on your journey and know that you have each other and you have God to lean on

[@lunatmc2886]

I ran here. I admire what these 2 couples stands for. God bless em

[@lennajanae9278]

Whew fellow Aries here and I’m understanding honesty doesn’t need meanness ….and it’s always towards myself like sometimes I feel like my biggest hater and it’s draining cause I want to understand perfection does not exist and waiting for the perfect circumstances to align just to take a leap of faith is unnecessary. I will definitely be buying the book super excited to read😊 also I would LOVE yall to get fellow LIB couple Brett and Tiffany!!!!

Brett and Tiffany’s episode is on Nov 19th! Set a reminder!

[@karenholmes7712]

Wow, this was such a mature segment on your Love Seat Podcast. I felt that the conversation was honest, intelligent, revealing and very well executed about life, love, and fertility drawbacks. I am truly enjoying your Love Seat Podcast episodes. Keep up the good work. When God is ready, he'll give you your bundle of joy, in the meantime continue to enjoy your blessings God is manifesting now. ❤
