"A lot of people have been asking if I am pregnant. I haven't address this head on yet. I want to first start off by saying, thank you so much for your support and love," Deavan wrote at the time.
"With heavy hearts we have to announce sad news. Last Monday we did end up losing our baby. We are heart broken and focusing on healing. I want to apologize for not telling anyone sooner. But we needed this time to heal as a family."
However, the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way star shared more details about her miscarriage and pregnancy complications during an Instagram Live session with her followers on Friday.
According to Deavan, she was only six weeks along at the time of her miscarriage.
"As you guys my know, I suffered a miscarriage last Monday," she said. "It was very early on in my pregnancy, [only] six weeks. So it wasn't something -- like it's still really sad, but it wasn't like I was six months pregnant."
"A lot of people were wondering how far along I was, but I was only six weeks."
But Deavan said the 90 Day Fiance couple had known the pregnancy would be high-risk and have complications from the outset.

"When I found out I was pregnant, we knew that there was going to be complications," she told her followers during the Instagram Live session.
"[There were] complications because I have O-Negative blood [and Jihoon] has B-Positive blood. And I had just had a baby and a C-section, and preeclampsia. And I had E. Coli, and I had a staph infection from my last pregnancy."

According to Deavan, she is still recovering from the April birth of her son Taeyang Lee, her first child with Jihoon.
(The 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way star is also mom to a three-year-old daughter, Drascilla, whom she welcomed with an ex.)
"My last pregnancy [was] bad," she said. "I was very, very sick my last pregnancy, and I am still recovering from my last pregnancy because I got post clampsia. So my blood pressure is still very high. I'm still retaining water, I'm still very sick."
Given all the complications, Deavan said she and Jihoon knew there was a "very high chance" the pregnancy could result in a miscarriage.

"We were very nervous, we knew that there were going to be complications," she explained during the Instagram Live session.
"So we didn't really want to tell anyone about the pregnancy because of the complications we were dealing with. Because we knew there was a very high chance that the baby would not survive."

"I am going through the most difficult time in my life," she said. "I am only 22 years old. I am 22 year old, I have two children, I moved across the world by myself -- well, with my kids -- and that is very difficult. That is very hard."
"I am going through a really hard time with everything."
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's season finale aired last week and featured Deavan and Jihoon participating in a traditional Korean wedding ceremony.
Part 1 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's two-part Tell-All reunion show will air Monday, October 14 at 9PM ET/PT on TLC.
News of Deavan's third pregnancy had leaked in September when a posting she had written in a private Facebook group for Korean residents was shared publicly.

The 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way star wrote in the Facebook group, "So I am currently pregnant and do not have health insurance in Korea and I don't know where to start or what to do."
"I just found out my insurance is not international," she continued. "I'm also unaware of how much it would cost to have a child here. And I'm starting to think I should go back to my home country because of this."
Deavan then appeared to confirm she wrote the post and had another baby on the way in a Instagram Stories posting on September 24.
"I was in a private Facebook group that is based in Korea with only Korean based people so it's sad to see my personal stuff being leaked when it's a group I went to for advice on life in Korea," Deavan wrote in an image.
"Just shows you can't even trust people even if it's not even in your home country."
"Please out of respect stop messaging me and asking me I'm not going to speak about it. I trusted this group and it was my safe place for a long time," Deavan added in a subsequent Instagram comment.
