Heartbreak for Bachelor stars Irena and Locky Gilbert as they suffer a second miscarriage: ‘We’re going through something so traumatic’
The Bachelor’s Irena and Locky Gilbert have suffered a second miscarriage after losing a baby three years ago.
Irena, 33, announced the heartbreaking news in an interview on The Morning Show on Tuesday.
‘Unfortunately, we suffered yet another miscarriage. We had one a few years ago quite early in our relationship,’ she told hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies.
‘Since we got married we’ve been trying to start a family and it’s been slow and not going to plan. It’s devastating.’
Irena said she’s been keeping the loss a secret while being overwhelmed with questions about starting a family with her husband after they tied the knot earlier this year.

‘It’s painful when you’re going through something so traumatic and then getting asked that. It’s not okay to constantly ask a woman when they’re having a baby just because they’re married,’ she explained.
Irena and Locky married in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends In Melbourne earlier this year.
The couple met on season eight of The Bachelor back in 2020, with Locky choosing Irena over aspiring Instagram model Bella Varelis.

In 2021, the couple revealed they suffered a miscarriage during the first few months together.
Speaking to Who magazine, Irena described the loss as a ‘devastating low’.
She said the miscarriage may have been linked to the stress she was going through in the aftermath of The Bachelor.
To the outside world, she seemed happy after moving from Melbourne to Perth to live with adventure tour guide Locky.

But the nurse was secretly struggling after her father, Vasco, had suffered a medical emergency and she couldn’t be with him due to Covid border closures.
She was also dealing with trolls after Locky had infamously told his runner-up on The Bachelor, Bella Varelis, he was falling in love with her only to pick Irena instead.
In an episode of SAS Australia, which was filmed in 2021, Locky fought back tears as he said he couldn’t imagine life without Irena.
