Marquise Goodwin and his wife, Morgan, revealed in a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday that the couple tragically lost their twin boys in November during pregnancy. The devastating loss led to Goodwin missing back-to-back late season games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks. The Goodwin’s also lost a child during pregnancy in November of 2017.
“We experienced another traumatic event in our lives that we had to overcome, and it was tough,” Marquise Goodwin said.
When Goodwin returned to the team after his two week absence, he declined to explain the reason for being away from the team, and asked for privacy for his family.
“I finally had the courage to open up and talk about it,” Morgan said, “because I really didn’t want to.”
“She didn’t want to, but I think it’ll probably be good for us,” Marquise said. “It helped last time, just moving past it and finding our way. A lot of people reached out and that was cool. A lot of people sent us things last time. And it just helped to know how much we were loved by either people we’ve come in contact with and even people we haven’t physically met. Just to see how much you guys love and support us, we definitely appreciate that.”
