‘This is something I would have preferred to keep out of social media but the amount of questions I was getting daily asking if I was pregnant is the reason I feel the need to share,’ she wrote in her caption.
‘We didn’t want to share as I have been through this before almost losing Mars, but sadly we lost our little boy.
‘I want to be present on social media and work, as like everyone I have obligations. Please respect mine and my partners privacy, this is a topic I won’t be discussing at this point in time. Thankyou for understanding.’
