LOS ANGELES (AP) — Broadway actress Ruthie Ann Miles, who tragically lost her daughter and unborn child two years ago, is pregnant.
The Tony-winner shared on Twitter that she is due this spring.
In 2018, Miles and her four-year-old daughter Abigail were struck by a vehicle on a New York street that killed Abigail and a friend’s one-year-old son. Miles was pregnant at the time of the crash and lost her unborn daughter, who she planned to name Sophia, two months later.
In her Twitter message announcing the pregnancy, Miles thanked those who supported her and her husband Jonathan Blumenstein after the crash and let them grieve for the past two years.
"We know Abigail Joy and Sophia would have loved being big sisters and are loving watching their family grow," Miles wrote.

Editor’s note: Ruthie Ann Blumenstein, whose stage name is Ruthie Ann Miles, won a Tony Award for her role in The King & I. The actress and singer is best known for her roles in musical theatre and television. Off-Broadway, she played Christmas Eve in Avenue Q and starred as Imelda Marcos in Here Lies Love.
