Dylan Thompson shares news of personal tragedy

Former South Carolina quarterback Dylan Thompson suffered a heart-breaking personal tragedy in December.

On Wednesday, he opened up about it to the public.

Thompson wrote a long Instagram post about he and his wife, Melanie, losing an unborn child. He posted a picture of a sonogram alongside it.

"On December 19 at a doctor visit, we found out our baby had no heartbeat and had passed," Thompson wrote. "It was a very tough, hard, and sad time for us, as you would expect. Lots of tears. Lots of hurt. But through the toughest time of our marriage to date, God remains so good and so real.
