Lillie's Brother's Personal Details
Lillie has had an older brother since her parents adopted William True Stevenson three years before they adopted Lillie. William was named after the grandfather of Kirstie, Clifford William Alley. He was first engaged to Lauren Sargeant when he was still in high school at the age of seventeen.
However, Lauren was a year older than William, but it didn't have any effect on their relationship. They had already been dating for a year before their engagement. It seems they separated after some time, but any details related to it haven't been revealed.

Similarly, Maria Burton Carson was also an adopted child of the late actress Elizabeth Taylor.
The Reason For Lillie And William's Adoption
Lillie and William's mother, Kirstie, had struggled with her fertility. When she was just three months pregnant with Parker Stevenson, she suffered an unfortunate miscarriage. This deeply affected her emotionally and physically.
As per People, she wrote in her book:
"When the baby was gone, I just didn't really get over it. Neither did my body. I so throughly convinced my body that it was still pregnant after nine months that I had milk coming from my breasts. I was still fat, I was still grieving, and I had just been told it was very possible I would never be able to have children."
Lillie Lost Her First Love To An Accident
When Lillie Price Stevenson was sixteen, she met Nick Trela, her first love, who was three years older than her. They were happily living together and had planned their wedding soon. Unfortunately, instead of a bright wedding ceremony, a tragedy awaited them.
During Nick Trela's motorcycle ride, reports indicate that he was involved in a collision with Justin Mikita's Audi. Justin Mikita, known as an actor, producer, and the spouse of renowned actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, was allegedly involved in the incident.
Following an investigation, the attorney determined not to press charges of manslaughter against Justin. The judgment was influenced by the belief that Nick Trela's speeding played a role in the unfortunate event.
Obviously, the death of her finance left Lillie devastated. Many feared she would never fall in love again or start a family. Fortunately, she soon met the love of her life sometime later.
