- Jason Day and his wife have announced they have suffered a miscarriage
Australian golf star Jason Day and his wife have tragically announced they have suffered a miscarriage.
The 29-year-old confirmed he and wife Ellie were expecting their third child last month.
In an emotional post to Instagram on Tuesday, Ellie, who was four-months-pregnant, revealed she lost the baby on Thanksgiving.
‘On Thanksgiving I lost the baby,’ she writes.
‘Initially I felt complete despair. And then I saw the baby. Fully intact. Tiny perfect head and face and arms and legs. When I saw it I felt God so much I can’t explain it.’

Jason and American-born Ellie originally met when she was waitressing in a restaurant in her home state of Ohio.
They were married in 2009 and have two young children, a son named Dash and daughter named Lucy.
Ellie was due to give birth in June next year, but despite the tragic loss, she was able to remain positive when revealing the miscarriage.
‘For some reason this baby wasn’t meant to be physically here with our family. But I know there is a greater plan,’ she wrote.
I know I am SO lucky to already have Dash and Lucy. It just feels like this weird scar now… this huge change in plans’.
