Aspyn Ovard Shares Devastating Details From Daughter’s Cancer Journey

SLOMWOC’s Aspyn Ovard Reveals 10-Year Secret Amid Parker Ferris SplitAspyn Ovard is shedding light on her family’s heartbreaking journey. After the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County star publicly revealed her daughter Cove’s terminal cancer diagnosis on the Hulu series premiere, she shared further insight into the last few years of her life as she navigated the 7-year-old’s health battle. “Almost 4 years and I still haven’t found the words to describe the pain,” Ovard wrote in a Nov. 13 Instagram post, which featured family photos from the past several years. “Our life ripped away.” As the YouTuber—also mom to daughters Lola, 5, and Elle, 2, with ex-husband Parker Ferris—detailed the emotional toll of her daughter’s diagnosis, she shared photos of her baby girl in the hospital, cuddling up with her parents and celebrating her 4th birthday. “Always advocating for my baby,” Ovard wrote. “Every hope and dream I ever had for my family is gone. I still haven’t found a way to cope.” “Didn’t think she would get to turn 4,” she added. “Celebrated 3 more birthdays since, always thinking it’s the last.”But amid Cove's health battle, the 30-year-old and her then-husband Ferris chose to expand their family. Alongside a photo of her showing a growing baby bump, Ovard wrote, “Knew this was the right decision for our family even though I’d just decided to be done having kids days before diagnosis.” And the reality star also went through another big change, explaining that she “said goodbye” to her “dream home” in Utah. “My dream life didn’t exist anymore and I couldn’t live here,” Ovard wrote. “Hiding as much as I could. Tried to be normal online to keep one piece of my life consistent.”Instagram/Aspyn OvardBut through it all, Ovard is continuing to cherish every single moment with her kids, as she shared a look into a past trip to Mexico. “I’m always trying to make my little girl’s dreams come true,” she captioned a photo of her family with Paw Patrol characters. “Always racing against time.” And experiencing the setbacks in Cove’s cancer battle doesn't get any easier for Ovard and her family, as she recalled one particularly painful memory when Cove was hospitalized two years to the day after being diagnosed. And the same nurse happened to be on shift during both visits.Instagram/Aspyn Ovard“It was so triggering,” Ovard wrote alongside a throwback photo of her holding hands with Cove in the hospital.
