Do you believe in reincarnation? Elise Estrada and Adam Hurstfield sure do, after what happened to the couple over the summer.

Estrada, a Surrey-raised singer/actor, and music producer Hurtsfield have been trying to have a baby for close to five years. Estrada was told by a doctor that she needed to have a large fibroid removed before she could conceive, but her pregnancy test proved positive in July 含羞草研究社� a day after Hurstfield含羞草研究社檚 brother died in a Cancun hospital after a battle with cancer and COVID-19.

The timing is not lost on the music-making couple, who live in Vancouver.

含羞草研究社淚sn含羞草研究社檛 it odd that we couldn含羞草研究社檛 get pregnant for years, then immediately after Bert passed away, the egg fertilized?含羞草研究社� Hurstfield posted to Facebook this month. 含羞草研究社淣ow this is some Jerry Springer sh*t because I am about to become my older brother含羞草研究社檚 Daddy! I have no doubt in my mind that this baby is Bert. I含羞草研究社檓 sure God spoke with Bert (and) when he found out that he could come back again as a Hurstfield, he stopped fighting.含羞草研究社�

The story is told in an emotional 10-minute video posted to , the couple含羞草研究社檚 YouTube channel. The clip also features Hurstfield含羞草研究社檚 son from an earlier relationship, Chance, a 13-year-old actor currently seen in the ABC drama .

含羞草研究社淲e含羞草研究社檙e so excited,含羞草研究社� Estrada said. 含羞草研究社淚t was an emotional time and I wanted to capture and film it all.

含羞草研究社淚 was the one who said to Adam, 含羞草研究社業 really think this is your brother reincarnated.含羞草研究社� I really do. We feel it含羞草研究社檚 a miracle.含羞草研究社�

The first three months of high-risk pregnancy were scary for the pair, because the baby含羞草研究社檚 heartbeat was faint and Estrada was bedridden.

Now, the baby含羞草研究社檚 heart is beating strongly and is progressing beautifully, the couple report, and they含羞草研究社檙e ready to spread the news.

The baby is due on April 1.

含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檓 willing to bet that the baby will be born on March 28, which is my birthday and also the birthday of my brother含羞草研究社檚 son, which is another thing here,含羞草研究社� Hurstfield said.

含羞草研究社淚 was on the fence about this kind of stuff, until now.含羞草研究社�

Estrada, who graduated from Holy Cross Regional High School in Surrey, hit the pop charts with songs including 含羞草研究社淚nsatiable,含羞草研究社� 含羞草研究社淯nlove You含羞草研究社� and 含羞草研究社淟ipstick含羞草研究社� in the late-2000s. She performed at .

Now, with everything else going on in life, she has some new music due out soon.

含羞草研究社淵ou know what, I含羞草研究社檝e been focused on being a stage mom for Chance, really, so I含羞草研究社檝e had songs ready to go for awhile, and with COVID, there含羞草研究社檚 no touring, so we含羞草研究社檙e going to release the music soon,含羞草研究社� Estrada explained.

含羞草研究社淓lise is very much a team player,含羞草研究社� Hurstfield added, 含羞草研究社渁nd she always felt that this is Chance含羞草研究社檚 time right now, to help him, to take him to set, coach him, all of that. So I含羞草研究社檝e been traveling the world producing pop stars in a bunch of countries, and so it would have been impossible for Elise and I both to be on the road at the same time, and Chance to be filming. So Elise kind of took the bullet and decided it was more important to let Chance have his moment.含羞草研究社� Now is a perfect time to virtually promote the record instead of hitting the road. She含羞草研究社檚 been working on new music the whole time.含羞草研究社�
