Roper Tolbert used ChatGPT to create a Norman Rockwell–style family Christmas portrait, and the first image included an additional little boy. She asked the chatbot to revise the picture to match her family of five, and after the extra child was removed she said the new version felt empty. She shared her prompt and the reference photo on Instagram Stories, and outlets including People and Us Weekly verified the posts. Roper Tolbert previously disclosed a missed miscarriage in 2023 and later marked the anniversary of the D&C in a tribute to Beau. She has said Beau was diagnosed with Down syndrome and suggested he may have had a congenital heart condition.
