TikTok star Michael Armstrong reveals wife Emma had a stillbirth three weeks before due date: 'We are shattered'

Daily Mail​4 hours ago

TikTok star Michael Armstrong revealed the sad news that he and his wife Emma lost their baby.
Emma delivered their child as a stillbirth 37 weeks into her pregnancy.
'It's been hard to find words for this, but it's with a heavy heart to share that our sweet baby has passed at 37 weeks,' Armstrong shared on Instagram on Saturday, June 14.
Armstrong goes by Michael Love on social media while his wife is Fire Love.
'3 weeks ago, my wife woke up and noticed there wasn't movement in her belly. She intuitively felt something was off.
'A couple hours later we got an ultrasound and the doctors found no heartbeat,' his Instagram caption read.
'We were shattered,' the influencer continued, noting his wife underwent a stillbirth and delivered their child after 37 hours in labor.
The couple chose to wait until birth to find out their baby's gender. They had a boy they named Zen Diamond Armstrong.
'There was no sign of what went wrong. His ultrasound, body and placenta all looked good. As we've learned, sometimes this just happens, and 1/3 of the time no cause is ever discovered.
'I've been balancing the divine purpose of it all and the truth of deep grief,' he wrote.
'I know our souls wouldn't have chosen this experience if there wasn't a greater purpose, but the devastation is real.
'The love that's poured in has been a light in the darkness. Our friends here in Kauai have been delivering food and everything else to us,' he wrote alongside a photo of their baby's hand being held by one of his parents.
'Absolute angels. I've been able to devote my energy to taking care of Emma, who is navigating an unimaginable postpartum journey with such strength.'
Michael then went on to praise his wife, writing, 'She carried our son with such grace and love, singing to him each night and morning in bed.

'Thank you for holding us in your hearts. Every message, every meal, every prayer, we feel it. It matters (even if we don't get to respond right away).
'We're taking it day by day, moment by moment, and letting love lead us through.'
Emma also posted about her loss, detailing how many things she had been planning to do with her child.
'I must have spent hours every day just imagining all the things I would do with my baby and the mother I would get to be,' she shared. 'We were preparing for the happiest day our life and instead we got our worst.'
'This is not a share about some silver lining or Gods plan though I have felt the divinity and love like a breath for air that desperately gasp for while I drown,' she continued.
'This is me sharing my shock. For any human that has felt the ground ripped from underneath them. For any mother that has lost her baby.
'The shock, denial, confusion, longing, love and unbearable heartbreak of a loss like this all gets a seat at the table.'
'He is essence of peace and love. He is the rainbow light of our lives. He is an angel guiding us from beyond the veil,' Emma wrote.
'There are no words to convey the depth and grief of this loss. We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and please know even if we don't respond that your messages mean so much to our tender hearts,' she concluded.
Armstrong rose to fame on TikTok for his hypnosis masterclass and discussions about past lives.
The lovebirds got married in April 2024 and called their story, 'the ultimate love story' as well as saying they were each other's 'soulmates.'
In January 2025, Emma posted a video and captioned it, 'There's a miracle growing inside of my womb.'

BREAKING NEWS Joss Stone gives birth to a baby girl! Singer welcomes her fourth child with her husband Cody DaLuz as she reveals her daughter's sweet name

Joss Stone has given birth to a baby girl with her partner and former US Marine Cody DaLuz, as she revealed her daughter's sweet name. The singer, 38, welcomed son Bear via adoption at the end of last year and announced she was pregnant soon after. And on Monday, Joss revealed she had given birth to a girl called Nalima Rose, her fourth child, as she shared a sweet snap from her hospital bed. 'Happy #mummymondays,' she wrote. 'Welcome our beautiful Nalima Rose to the world. we are so in love.' Joss - whose real name is Joscelyn Eve Stoker - also has Violet, three, and Shackleton, two, with Cody. Joss revealed her 'crazy' C-section plans as she gave a bump update just days before she was set to give birth. In a video, shared to Instagram this week, Joss said that she was just days away from meeting her fourth child. She began: 'Ok bump update, I look massive today. This is a big belly. We are four days away pretty much. Baby is coming out on Saturday.' Joss continued: 'The crazy thing is violet goes to dance class and she has a dance recital on Saturday. 'So, I said to my doctor who came to the gig in Nashville, "I'm so sorry but we've got to change the C-section date because baby girl has a dance recital" and he said "don't worry I'll just move it." 'So it moved from 10am to 4pm. So now Vi is going to dance around 1:10pm then I have to be at the hospital for about 2pm. So, it's going to be a crazy day.' The musician captioned the clip: 'Happy mummy Mondays!! I am so excited. Not long now. Eeeeekkkk!!!' Just before Christmas, Joss revealed she was 'shocked' after discovering that she was expecting again after the couple had recently become parents to Bear. The singer officially adopted Bear when when he was just a month old and weighed just 4lbs 12oz - with the couple keeping him indoors during the early months of his life because of premature lungs. The parents, who are now based in Nashville, Tennessee, met in 2020 after Joss fled the UK amid terrifying kidnap plot, with two men - Kevin Liverpool and Junior Bradshaw - convicted of planning to murder the star at her rural east Devon home. They would go on to secretly marry before starting their ever expanding family. In 2023, Joss revealed she and Cody had started the adoption process to expand their brood. Joss told HELLO! magazine of the adoption process: 'We're trying to do our home study. I hope we get to do it. I want, like, 25 kids.' Cody was adopted himself and Joss has previously spoken to her fans on social media about why the pair were keen to adopt a child of their own. She said: 'The reason why Cody even exists is because his bio mum loved him enough to make an adoption plan for him and the same goes for Bear. 'Honestly bio mothers do not get the gratitude they deserve. It is a more selfless love than I knew existed. Truly. We are just so happy to be part of this beautiful cycle.' Last year, Joss revealed she is hoping to move back to Devon from her current base in Nashville in time for her kids starting school because she wants them to enjoy a similar upbringing to her own. She told the Sunday Times magazine: 'We'll move home to Devon in time for Violet to go to school. I want my kids to have the kind of upbringing I did — riding horses, climbing trees and being near my family. I hope Cody likes it over there.' The You Had Me singer enjoys a 'slower' pace of life now she's a parent and she's thankful having children has given her an 'excuse' to ease her busy schedule. She said: 'Having kids makes you go slower. It's given me this wonderful excuse not to cram my schedule. Touring is different now... 'We always go by bus and travel at night, when the kids are asleep. I don't know how it's going to go with two of them because Cody's working as well. We don't want to enlist help but we might have to.'

Meghan Markle breaks silence on ‘baby mama dance' after hospital twerking vid sparked wild conspiracy theories

MEGHAN Markle has broken her silence on her cringey twerking video after it sparked wild conspiracy theories. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted the footage earlier this month showing her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room as she tried to induce daughter Lilibet's birth in 2021. 5 5 5 But conspiracy theorists bizarrely claimed that Meghan's bump was not real, suggesting she was wearing a prosthetic pregnant belly in the clip. Now, almost a fortnight after sharing the 80-second video with her three million followers on Instagram, the ex-Suits actress has defended her decision to post the personal footage. She called on people to "tell the truth" about her and claimed that the video was a chance for her to share behind the scenes of her "authentic" life. Speaking on Dragon's Den star Emma Grede on the entrepreneur's Aspire podcast, she said: "You have to be authentic. "Did you see my "Baby Momma" dance? That wasn't yesterday, that was four years ago. "It's a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes. "I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." The footage - released to celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday on June 3 - showed heavily pregnant Meghan making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside the hospital bed. Prince Harry also shuffles into view in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance. She posted it on the social media platform alongside the caption: "Four years ago today, this also happened. "Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" But it was slammed by royal experts as cringey and "hard to watch". Commmentator Ingrid Seward accused The Sussexes of invading their own privacy. She told The Sun: 'They can do what they like but why put it online? "Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it's vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking. 'They make such a point about privacy and security and then they put stuff out there. Meghan can't resist putting it out there. 'I think it's completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It's very embarrassing.' 5

Sofia Richie breaks silence on claims husband Elliot Grainge cheated on her after birth of first child

Sofia Richie has broken silence on claims that her husband Elliot Grainge cheated on her. The media personality, 26 - who recently enjoyed a rare family outing with Grainge and their baby girl - addressed the viral allegations by sharing a clip to her TikTok account. She was joined by the record executive, 31, as they read through comments about him allegedly having an affair. The mom-of-one filmed herself listening to Grainge as he listed some of the 'mean' comments as he laid next to her on a bed. 'Get that coin, sis,' Elliot read out loud, prompting Sofia to let out a small laugh. He then continued with, 'Why wouldn't she want to be single again?' and 'They got married?' Another was, 'She already secured the baby. Sofia has a rich dad as well, she should divorce him and take his child support money.' As Richie laughed once again while her husband read the comment, Grainge quietly added to his wife, 'Don't do that Soph.' Elliot then read another and said, 'That? Cheating on her?' - causing them both to agree the comment was 'mean.' Sofia panned the camera back to her and after a few moments passed, her husband questioned, 'What am I? Shrek?' In the caption of the post, the daughter of Lionel Richie penned to her followers: 'I had to break it to my husband that he's not the peoples princess.' Social media users jumped to the comment section on the star's TikTok to offer their support to the couple. One penned, 'Best way to silence haters,' while another typed, 'Changing my dating app bio to "looking for an Elliot Grainge."' 'People honestly forgot how hurtful the things they say can be. That's terrible, poor dude,' a fan wrote. One shared, 'NOW this is a way that we should be clearing up rumors every single time. I love this,' and another added, 'Never doubted this man! He loves her, people are weird.' 'Real ones love Elliot and know he treats you like a queen,' one TikTok user penned, which also garnered a like from Sofia. Another was, 'She already secured the baby. Sofia has a rich dad as well, she should divorce him and take his child support money' As Richie laughed once again as her husband read the comment, Grainge then quietly added to his wife, 'Don't do that Soph' 'People honestly forgot how hurtful the things they say can be. That's terrible, poor dude,' a fan wrote A fan commented, 'What a way to respond,' while one added, 'Ugh please let this type of love attack me.' Back in 2021, it was confirmed that Sofia was dating Elliot - who is the son of CEO of Universal Music Group Lucian Grainge. The following year, he popped the big question during a romantic proposal during a getaway to Hawaii. In April 2023, Sofia walked down the aisle and the couple said 'I do' during a ceremony that took place in the south of France. The nuptials went viral on social media when the beauty launched her TikTok only days before the big day - and drew massive attention for its 'quiet luxury.' During an interview with L'Officiel, the star opened up about the following she garnered not long after joining TikTok. She currently boasts nearly 4 million followers on TikTok, and 11 million on Instagram. 'I've never expected to get any positive feedback from social media,' she told the outlet. 'My happiness doesn't depend on social media feedback, and I feel like I protected my mental health in that way throughout the years of being in the spotlight.' Sofia added, 'It was shocking for me to see such positive feedback, and it really put a smile on my face. It made me feel like, "Wow, there are kind people out there."' When it comes to using her social media accounts - especially TikTok - the star explained, 'I truly try to stay true to myself and my brand, and I honestly use TikTok like I'm talking to my friends. I'm just having fun. 'I don't want people to feel like I'm leading them to buy everything under the moon because I'm getting paid.' And while talking to Who What Wear in 2023, she reflected on launching her TikTok page to document the days leading up to her wedding. 'My friends were like, "How cool would it be if you started a TikTok and showed people in real time what was happening?" I thought, "You know what? That's so refreshing, and that's a great idea."' Sofia then jokingly revealed, 'I actually feel like a grandma on TikTok. Fun fact: I don't even know how to edit a video.' The star later expressed, 'The content that I created around my wedding was organic, and I wasn't pushing anything or hiding anything waiting for a magazine to publish. I was just being myself and letting people live through it with me in real time.' Sofia has been keeping busy and recently jumped to Instagram shortly after addressing the cheating allegations. Both she and Elliot recently enjoyed a getaway to the French Riviera to attend a wedding. Their baby girl Eloise - who celebrated her first birthday last month in May - also joined her parents for the trip Richie uploaded a series of snaps, including one where she and her husband were dressed to the nines and shared a loving kiss underneath the warm sunshine. The star wore a sleeveless, vibrant blue gown that was held up with halter-styled straps and Grainge sported a classic black tuxedo. Their baby girl Eloise - who celebrated her first birthday last month in May - also joined her parents for the trip. Sofia shared additional pictures that were taken over Father's Day weekend as they spent time at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where both she and Elliot tied the knot two years earlier.
