Madison, known for her roles in “Desperate Housewives” and as the younger sister of Demi Lovato, revealed the difficult experience of losing her newborn daughter. “On the evening of September 27, after an emergency c-section, Ryan and I held our little girl for the first and last time,” De La Garza wrote. Her words resonated deeply, expressing both love and heartbreak as she and her partner, Ryan, said goodbye to their baby girl. “Thank you, Xiomara, for making us parents to the most perfect angel in heaven. Mommy and Daddy love you sweet girl.”
The tragic event has drawn heartfelt tributes from family members, including Demi Lovato, who poured out her love and sorrow in a touching comment on De La Garza’s post. “I love you so much Xiomara. An angel in every sense of the word. I’ll be your auntie forever 💔,” Demi expressed.

I’m so grateful I got to hold you… I’ll forever be your auntie.” She ended with words of love and support for her sister, writing, “I love you so much @maddelagarza.”
The sorrow felt by the Lovato family extends to all generations, as Demi and Madison’s mother, Dianna De La Garza, added her own tribute to her granddaughter. “They say when you meet your grandchild for the first time, you feel a love that you can’t explain in words. I felt that love and I will feel it til the day I die,” Dianna wrote in the comments of Madison’s post.
