For actor Kellan Lutz, his faith is everything to him. He told Fox News Digital, \u201cI don\u2019t know how people who don\u2019t believe in something can have hope in anything. When you lose your job, when COVID hit, when people die, when there\u2019s no work to be found, it\u2019s depressing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lutz gave examples of not being able to visit his COVID-stricken grandfather in the hospital or dealing with the actor\u2019s strike, as things out of his control when he focuses on getting through with his beliefs. \u201cSo it\u2019s one of the things where my faith is everything. It\u2019s the top,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Lutz and his wife, Brittany Lutz, have been married for six years and, in 2020, faced the heartbreaking loss of their daughter six months into the pregnancy.\u00a0The 38-year-old said the loss \u201cwas so confusing,\u201d but with a support system and\u00a0his faith,\u00a0he and the family were able to grieve the stillbirth the best they could.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIt still is hard when the dates come around, but I know in my heart that she\u2019s up in heaven. We named her, and I can\u2019t wait to see her. So that\u2019s the hope. We\u2019re here on Earth for a finite period of time. And up there, I\u2019m going to be so joyful, and so down here, I can be joy-filled knowing that. And that\u2019s what keeps us going.\u201d\u00a0He added, \u201cI\u2019m so grateful that my wife and I believe the same thing. We [know] a lot of other couples who don\u2019t believe the same thing. And I\u2019m like, \u2018That\u2019s tough,\u2019 especially if someone doesn\u2019t believe in something and the other person does, because how do you say, \u2018Hey, it\u2019s going to be OK\u2019 when that person doesn\u2019t believe it\u2019s going to be OK?\u201d<\/p>\n
