Mighty Ducks actor Shaun Weiss shared some heartbreaking news, revealing that his girlfriend Shannon had suffered a miscarriage. The 46-year-old actor, best known for his role as Greg Goldberg in the beloved Mighty Ducks films, had announced on Christmas that he and Shannon were expecting their first child—an uplifting moment that marked a stark contrast to his tumultuous past, which had been marked by struggles with drugs and legal issues.

However, on Tuesday, Shaun told TMZ that they received the 'poor prognosis' from Shannon’s doctor last week, revealing they lost the baby four days ago. He shared that the priority is Shannon's well-being and that they are supporting each other through this challenging time. Looking ahead, Shaun noted that the couple is determined to try again for another child. He added that the thought of becoming a father had given him a 'new lease on life,' making the loss an 'indescribable disappointment.'.

Mighty Ducks actor Shaun Weiss shared some heartbreaking news, revealing that his girlfriend Shannon had suffered a miscarriage; (Weiss signed autographs with his Mighty Ducks castmates at a New Jersey expo in 2015). On Tuesday, Shaun told TMZ that they received the 'poor prognosis' from Shannon’s doctor last week, revealing they lost the baby four days ago. When they announced the pregnancy, Weiss shared that regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, they had already decided on the name Charlie, in honor of his father.

The couple, who have been together for two years, were also planning to 'tie the knot soon,' Weiss revealed at the time. The baby news had come after Weiss put on a pair of skates for the first time in nearly three decades. 'Last time I skated was the final day of filming D3,' the 45-year-old actor said in October, referring to 1996's D3: The Mighty Ducks. Weiss continued: 'It's like riding a bike. With bones that have aged 30 years.'.

The Montvale, New Jersey native said that he donned the hockey apparel in a sponsorship for the brand FunkAway, an odor elimination spray. The actor was seen wearing a goalie mask and a black jersey with yellow trim that read Ducks across the front. Weiss, who's been seen on TV shows such as The King of Queens, Las Vegas and Freaks and Greeks, was seen in a clip selling Goldberg replica hockey sticks via his website.

Weiss, who's appeared in films including Huggin Molly and Drillbit Taylor, captioned the promotional clip, 'These mini sticks flash me back to day 1 of training camp.'. 'Celebrate the 30th anniversary of D2 with this brand new commemorative item,' a description for the $100 item read. 'A replica of my original hockey stick! Cloth tape can be added to the blade and knob for an ultra authentic piece of movie memorabilia. When you hold this stick, YOU are Goldberg the goalie.'.

Weiss on February 21 took to the site and said that he had not broken his four-year streak of sobriety. 'I'm OK, you don't have to worry about me but thank you - it's very sweet,' he said. Weiss addressed concerns that there was a red substance on his forehead, noting that it was 'consecrated ash from' the famed Yoga practitioner Sadhguru. Weiss wiped the substance off of his head in a clip, telling followers, 'Alright, OK is that better for you?'.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Weiss posted a candid snap of Shannon holding up a positive pregnancy test, with the joyful caption: 'The BEST Christmas present ever!'. He also revealed the baby’s name, writing, 'Charlie'... coming this August'. Weiss was seen in a previous clip in which he declared his gratitude for being able to work in the entertainment industry. 'I get to go out and fly to Florida and hang out with fans and have an amazing weekend and I get paid to do it,' he said. 'This is an amazing life: Thank you very much, that is ridiculous and I look forward to seeing you guys out there.'.

Weiss also spoke with TMZ about the concern from fans, telling the outlet that he remains focused on staying sober moving forward. 'If I ever need help I promise I will reach out to people,' he said. 'No going backward.'. Weiss told the outlet that the ash was part of a 'spiritual practice' he's involved in that's 'been a game-changer in terms of [his] overall balance and levels of joy.'. Weiss has been candid in his journey to sobriety, speaking publicly about his past addiction to drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine, which left him dealing with homelessness at one point.

In a September 2022 interview on the YouTube channel Addiction Talk, Weiss said it had been 'hard to see' images of himself when he was in the throes of addiction looking 'horrible and deathly.'. In the interview, Weiss said that being a child star made him 'an adrenaline junkie,' which sowed the seeds of the addiction issues he would face in his future. 'Things were a lot more exciting for me than the average 13-year-old - taking trips and flying to places and being in movies,' Weiss said of his childhood. 'So I was very addicted to the excitement of things. And when that went away, I didn't really know how to get that feeling. And I found that in drugs.'.
