Big Brother star Britney Haynes and husband Nathan "Ryan" Godwin released heartbreaking news on Facebook and Twitter on Saturday - their 2-month-old daughter Tilly has been diagnosed with cancer.
The 2010 and 2012 reality show veteran wrote on her Facebook account that doctors had confirmed her baby was severely ill, according to TMZ.
"On September 1, we were among the daily 270 sets of parents to be absolutely devastated with a Childhood Cancer diagnosis," she wrote. "September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Please take the time to pray for all these children, our sweet baby included. We appreciate each and every one."
On Twitter, the 27-year-old mother posted her first tweet since Aug. 31, writing, "Thank you for all of the thoughts, wishes and prayers for my precious girl. She's everything to me." An accompanying photo showed the tiny baby in a basket, swaddled in cotton with a navy blue bow on her forehead, sleeping peacefully.

Haynes and Godwin married in March 2012. The two were high school sweethearts. In June of 2013, the couple welcomed Tilly into the world.
"My life changed on July 13 and will never be the same! Haynes tweeted at the time. "My sweet little girl is happy, healthy, and amazing. Tilly Elizabeth; 8lbs 3oz!"
