Madison and Bouffard shared last June that they had suffered pregnancy loss. The pair had announced that they were expecting months prior.
"We are absolutely devastated to share the news that we lost our sweet baby boy this week," the announcement began.
"There are no words that can truly capture the depth of this pain. Nothing can prepare you for this. Our hearts will never be the same."
"I had the privilege of carrying you for 26 weeks, and we will carry you in our hearts for a lifetime. Until we meet again, Leo Grey."

The pair have been vocal about their grief since losing their son on their socila media accounts.
In June this year, the couple shared the happy news that they were expecting again but explained that it came with an added layer of uncertainty after what they had gone through as a couple.
"Pregnancy after loss is a mixture of emotions to say the least," Madison wrote to Instagram as she shared the news.
"Moments of excitement are so easily overshadowed by feelings of grief, doubt, and worry. Following the loss of Leo, the thought of being pregnant again terrified me – and if I'm honest, it still does.
"After a late term loss, you become painfully aware that announcements at any stage are scary. There is no safe zone.
