Terry Crews Reflects on Wife Rebecca's Pregnancy Challenges

Crews spoke of the painful journey and the deep emotional impact it had on them.

Terry Crews shared that he and his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, experienced three miscarriages. 

During the “America's Got Talent” Semi-Finals 2 on Wednesday (Sept. 11), the TV host spoke with PEOPLE about Sky Elements' emotional drone show, which depicted a story of child loss. The performance touched Terry personally, prompting him to open up about his own family's painful journey with miscarriage and the deep emotional impact it had on them.

“Me and my wife, we know what it's like to lose a child,” he began. “We've had three miscarriages. It's one of those things where it was so meaningful and special because the dedication is just, it's a way to process these things.”

"And how he brought that up, I was like, 'Wow,'" Terry said of the performance. “I think the show needed it. ... This is the perfect AGT show today.”

The “Everybody Hates Chris” star continued, “We balanced out everything. We had the laughs, we had the dedications, we had the fun, we had the dancing. It was just all over the place and it was perfect.”

The father of five added that music helps him deal with difficult situations in his life. “I sit in a room and listen to music and it helps me process ... all the things I'm feeling,” Terry explained. “Then the other thing is I just talk to my wife. We talk it out. We have really, really nice long, deep conversation. Turn the TV off, turn the phone off and let's just talk it through. And it's amazing what that does. You know what I mean? Definitely. It really, truly, you turn around an hour later you're like, 'Wow, I can handle anything.' "

Terry and Rebecca have been married since 1989.
