Kellan Lutz and his wife Brittany are looking towards the future.
Almost one month after revealing they lost their daughter, the FBI: Most Wanted actor, 37, expressed gratitude for all of the love and support they have received.
“A Time For Everything,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a series of notes, the couple had been sent, noting that it had been “quite the season in real life.”
“@brittanylynnlutz you have been unbelievable during this hard past month! So grateful for you!” he added, while also expressing his thanks to anyone who had reached out to them “as we lost our baby girl who became stillborn at 6.5 months.”
Quoting a passage from the Bible about how “there is a time for everything,” the actor said he and his wife “can’t wait to try again when the time is right God willing.”
“I’ve had my season of mourning and now I’m ready to dance,” he added.

It’s been quite the season in real life while @brittanylynnlutz and I have been living in NY for season one of @fbicbs Most Wanted! @brittanylynnlutz you have been unbelievable during this hard past month! So grateful for you! I wanted to give a shout out to you all for all your love and support as we lost our baby girl who became stillborn at 6.5 months. Thank you to my @fbicbs @cbstv family, @universaltv @christablackgifford @themasterheart, our neighborhood church @c3.nyc @jkelsey and @georgieclaire @filmorebouldes for the sweet flowers and plants! We cherish the sentiment deeply! Thanks to our families who have been there to help in anyway this whole time. We can’t wait to try again when the time is right God willing. “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3-8 NIV I’ve had my season of mourning and now I’m ready to dance. Love you all! -KA post shared by Kellan Lutz (@kellanlutz) on Mar 2, 2020 at 4:44am PST

Sharing an update with her followers about how she’s been handling the loss, Brittany previously shared that she’s been working on letting herself feel heartbreak without shutting her heart “to the things that can bring you joy.”
“After tragedy or heartache it can be tempting to shut down so you don’t feel pain. Aka survival mode. But when you shut yourself off to pain, you also shut yourself off to the things that can bring you joy too,” she wrote in a lengthy note on Instagram last month.
“As much as I’m tired of falling apart, and want to be done finding myself crying in a ball on the floor, if I allowed myself to fall into the temptation to shut down, I know I’d be missing those special moments that have made me smile and laugh and feel happy again,” she added. “Like my doctor said the day I found out our sweet baby girl didn’t have a heartbeat anymore: ‘This isn’t the end of your story. This is just a crappy chapter, but you’re going to get through this.’ ”
View this post on Instagram After tragedy or heartache it can be tempting to shut down so you don’t feel pain. Aka survival mode. But when you shut yourself off to pain, you also shut yourself off to the things that can bring you joy too. I’ve done that in the past. More than once. I can tell you from experience it takes a LOT of work to soften your heart after you’ve let it go hard. Throughout the last two weeks I’ve worked SO hard to remain soft. As much as I’m tired of falling apart, and want to be done finding myself crying in a ball on the floor, if I allowed myself to fall into the temptation to shut down, I know I’d be missing those special moments that have made me smile and laugh and feel happy again. Today Kel and I were walking after church and I saw this sidewalk full of hearts. Instead of being numb to avoid all the things that remind me of being pregnant just two short weeks ago, I was able to see a sidewalk full of hearts as a little hug for my heart letting me know God’s got us. He’s not done writing my story. Like my doctor said the day I found out our sweet baby girl didn’t have a heartbeat anymore: “This isn’t the end of your story. This is just a crappy chapter, but you’re going to get through this.” If you’re having a crappy chapter, this isn’t the end of your story either! You’re gonna get through this. But keep your soft heart! The world needs it! A post shared by Brittany Lutz (Gonzales) (@brittanylynnlutz) on Feb 16, 2020 at 1:44pm PST
View this post on Instagram Baby girl, It was my absolute honor and pleasure to be your mom these last 6 months. I did my best and it was an absolute joy seeing your little face all those times on that screen and feeling your tiny kicks. I don’t know why it happened the way it did, but part of me finds so much peace knowing you never experienced pain or heartache and never will. You’re in the arms of Jesus now and one day we will get to meet you for real. Until I see you in heaven… your mommy loves you so much. I’m not ready to talk about what happened, and I’m not sure I ever will. But I can say I am SO grateful for the most amazing husband who’s been by my side the entire time. I have the best most supportive family. The prayers from friends have meant everything. My incredible doctor and the amazing team at UCLA Medical Center who kept me alive are the real MVPs. And to all of you who donate blood- I have never been more grateful for you. Without you people like me wouldn’t be here. Thank you for respecting all of our privacy right now. Gonna take some time away to process and heal.A post shared by Brittany Lutz (Gonzales) (@brittanylynnlutz) on Feb 6, 2020 at 1:01pm PST
Although times have been challenging, Brittany has also been open about the reasons she’s continued to feel hopeful.
“Even though this is so heavy, I have an unexplainable hope and excitement for the future,” she wrote three days after sharing the heartbreaking news. “I’m not ready for another pregnancy right now(not sure when I will be honestly), but I’m excited to heal and move forward and explore this new version of myself.”
“This situation didn’t make me the person I thought I would become (specifically a mother to a real life baby girl), but it did birth a new version of me,” she said. “Truthfully I’m scared and nervous but at the same time really eager to get to know her.”
