Geordie Shore's Holly Hagan reveals she had miscarriage as she issues important message
Reality TV star Holly Hagan-Blyth has announced that she had a miscarriage four months ago. The Geordie Shore cast member shared the news this morning whilst addressing questions about potentially expanding her family.
Holly, 33, and her husband Jacob Blyth, 32, are already parents to son Alpha-Jax, two. She's now warned fans on social media against asking "when" they will have any more children in the future and revealed in the same post that she had a miscarriage earlier this year.
She opened up about the experience in a Q&A with her followers on Instagram today. Holly invited fans to submit questions this morning and went on to discuss her life, including parenting, in her subsequent responses to them.
Holly later said that the majority of questions she had received were about the prospect of her having more children in the future. One fan had submitted in the Q&A: "Are you having anymore children? You're a great mum."
Responding, Holly said: "Thank you and just because 90% of the questions are about when we're having another and I do get constant comments like 'AJ needs a sibling' and I'm like I KNOWW!! I did want to speak about it at the time but didn't know how and didn't want any sympathy (and still don't so please don't message lol) but we did miscarry in March."
She then gave a "reminder," in which she urged fans to be "mindful" when commenting on social media. Holly said: "Just a reminder to be mindful when commenting saying 'when's the next' because how on earth would we know that."
Holly and Jacob welcomed their son Alpha-Jax in 2023. She shared at the time that she "couldn't have wished for a better birth experience" and that they were enjoying their "little baby bubble" following the newborn's arrival.
She's since kept fans updated and has spoken candidly about aspects of her experience as a parent, including feeling anxiety. And whilst reflecting on the first year of Alpha-Jax's life in May, she said it had been the "toughest year" for her.
Alongside footage from his first year, she wrote two months ago: "Although this looks full of happiness and joy, I'm not ashamed to say this was the toughest year of my life. People would say 'oh it's hard but the good out weighs the bad doesn't it?' And I'd genuinely not know how to respond.
"I felt so much guilt for not enjoying it as much as my friends. Or feeling like the things that came naturally to them didn't seem to come naturally to me. I know now babies temperaments can be so different. And AJ just hated being a baby."
She continued: "It's like, how can you love something so much that you'd take a bullet for them, but also feel like you might have made the wrong choice becoming a parent at the same time. It was so confusing and there's so much shame from people who haven't felt that, or who may just have really easy babies.
"If you'd of asked me this time last year I'd of said I'm one and done. But I don't feel like this now. I'm sharing this because I want anyone who may be feeling like this to know that it does get better. The good is now massively outweighing the bad and I love being a mam so much."
Holly told fans that becoming a parent is a "huge adjustment" and encouraging giving "grace" to those struggling to know that it's okay to talk about it. She added: "It doesn't mean you're a bad parent or that you don't love them as much as someone who is finding it easy! You're not alone and it does get better."
She has also previously spoken about the joy that her son has brought her though. Paying tribute for his first birthday last year, she wrote: "Happy 1st birthday to my beautiful, intelligent, cheeky and wild little boy."
Holly added: "You brighten up every room with your energy and always have everyone smiling and laughing. The most challenging year of our lives but your little face and laugh makes it all worth it! We love you so much baby boy."

Who is Reggie, the Lionesses' unofficial 'emotional support dog'?
England's social media accounts have released videos of the team spending time with Reggie After a nailbiting but victorious penalty shootout against Sweden, and an eleventh-hour comeback to beat Italy, the Lionesses are through to the final of Women's Euro 2025. As England gear up to face old foes Spain on Sunday, it seems one furry friend could be their secret weapon - Reggie the Cavapoo. Videos shared by England's official social media accounts have shown players spending time with the pup, and taking him for walks at training camps. But who is he - and how has he become England 's unofficial mascot? Reggie the Cavapoo belongs to the owner of Cheals on Wheels, a mobile barista bar accompanying the Lionesses on their Euros campaign in Switzerland. Posting on Instagram, the company wrote: "He's joined the Lionesses in Switzerland, soaking up all the love (and sneaky treats) from the team. "Always the star of the show wherever he goes - even on tour!" Following England's win against Italy on Tuesday, midfielder Keira Walsh spoke about how Reggie has supported the team. "We have a coffee dog that helps," she said. "I think most of the girls spend their time with him. "I don't think he realises how much he's helped us. When we won the game, he came into the meal room afterwards, and we were all so happy to see him. "So I think he's definitely been helping the most, it's fair to say." Forward Chloe Kelly also sang Reggie's praises. "He's a cute dog, and he's been at a lot of camps throughout the year," she said. But Kelly admitted she had no plans to take Reggie for a walk, fearing she'd end up missing her own dog too much. The final of UEFA Women's Euro 2025 will be shown on Sunday at 5pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Paige Spiranac fires back at trolls after golf glamour girl stunned in risque dress at Happy Gilmore 2 premiere
The internet has been collectively dropping its jaws after Paige Spiranac wore two separate head-turning outfits in recent days. Now, the golf influencer is hitting out at those critical of her style and content. Two days ago, she stunned the internet with a risque sheer dress that hugged her figure at the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2. Spiranac, 32, was among Hollywood royalty in New York on Monday night because she has a small cameo in the sequel to the beloved 1996 golf comedy. A day later, the golf influencer - who has four million followers on Instagram - stunned again in a commercial for Jason and Travis Kelce 's beer brand. She can be seen walking into a bar with a pack of Garage Beer in a post to the platform on Tuesday. In the photo, Spiranac is wearing a pair of denim shorts and a low-cut black top that shows off her cleavage, as well as some black leather boots. Off the back of that, Spiranac spoke to People Magazine about her image and a message to those who criticize her. 'I just try to embrace who I am when I talk about that,' she told the outlet. 'My main message is always do what you want to do, wear what you want to wear. And for me, that's wearing things that are a little bit more sexy, more form-fitting, but also just finding your own individual style.' Spiranac, a former college golfer at San Diego State, turned down the chance to go pro and has made her living on social media as one of the most-followed sports personalities across multiple platforms. She told the outlet that when she was getting into golf as a child, she didn't have the means to buy golf attire, so she wore workout clothing. 'And so I started wearing tank tops and leggings, and it just caused such an uproar of just people upset about no collar, and what I was wearing, and disrespecting the game, and also just exposing my body,' Spiranac told People. 'And I'm like, I'm an athlete and I like what I wear. I feel very comfortable with what I wear. 'And also, I don't want young girls to grow up feeling insecure about their body or everyone telling them, no, they should cover up.

Ellie Goulding left little to the imagination as she flaunted her toned figure in a series of sizzling bikini snaps during her sun-soaked holiday in Italy. The singer, 38, appears to be enjoying her summer after reportedly going public this week with actor Beau Minniear who is ten years her junior. According to The Sun Ellie and Beaum 28, debuted their romance as they attended the clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois together at Wembley on Saturday night. And on Thursday, she sent temperatures soaring as she treated her Instagram followers to a smouldering photo dump. Kicking things off in a tiny black string bikini, Ellie turned heads as she lounged on a sunbed with a book before snapping a sultry selfie. She later slipped into a green two-piece to continue basking in the sunshine, showing off her toned abs and golden glow. In another eye-catching moment, Ellie posed with a coconut in hand while rocking a Fenty bikini. Rounding out the carousel, the pop star turned up the glam in stunning day outfits and mirror selfies. 'Carbs,' she penned alongside the post. Since the breakdown of her marriage to her younger husband Caspar Jopling, 33, with whom she shares son four-year-old son Arthur, Ellie has enjoyed a string of romances. According to The Sun Ellie is thought to have met actor Beau- who has a string of small acting parts in TV and film in the US - earlier this year. Last week she reportedly teased a romance with him with a cryptic TikTok video posted to her socials. The publication claims she shared a clip stroking a man's arm, with the caption: 'Just a little something to take the edge off.' The video is no longer on her TikTok account. Her fans reportedly noticed that the watch the man was wearing in the clip matched one Beau regularly wears in Instagram snaps. They also reportedly noticed they both posted photos last week from the same hotel in Florence - before attending the boxing match together. A source told the publication: 'Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art. 'They've been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple.' A representative for Ellie has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. The star previously dated hunky surf instructor Armando Perez, 29, who she sought comfort with following the breakdown of her marriage. They met in late 2023 in Costa Rica where the songstress had rented a swanky villa with pals after secretly separating from her partner after five years. Ellie and Armando were first introduced when he gave her surf lessons, after previously teaching Shakira, 48, before pictures emerged of them passionately kissing and she was forced to confirm publicly that her marriage was over. The hunk and his brother Gero run the $70-a-night La Puente Surfhouse and hostel on the west coast of the Central American paradise. Ellie made numerous trips from her home in the UK to Costa Rica over the following months which she documented on Instagram, including a string of stunning bikini snaps. According to the El Observador newspaper, she made this trip as many as six times over just five months, typically staying a week at a time, sometimes longer. With the couple enjoying further private lessons, as well as shopping trips and dinner dates. An Insider told The Sun at the time: 'Ellie and Armando seemed very into each other. When Armando wasn't teaching Ellie, he couldn't keep his hands off her and pulled her in for a hug and a kiss'. 'Ellie looked blissfully happy and was laughing and joking with him as they messed around in the sea.' Antonio is also believed to have also visited Ellie in London on at least one occasion, reportedly watching her perform to a live crowd from backstage. One friend said: 'Amando and Ellie were very attracted to one another. Despite the age gap, they struck up an instant chemistry when he gave her private surfing lessons. The star previously dated hunky surf instructor Armando Perez, 29, (pictured L) who she sought comfort with following the breakdown of her marriage. 'They soon formed a bond and loved spending time together - Ellie loved hanging out on the beach with Armando to get away from everything that was going on back home after her marriage had come to an end. [Armando was used to spending his days instructing in the water and running around barefoot in swim shorts, and was more comfortable enjoying his 'quiet life' without the 'drama' of being in the public eye, the source added. 'They had a very special time together and she visited the country a lot. 'But they are from very different backgrounds. She is a big pop star from England while Armando's whole life is based here in Playa Hermosa. He loves it here and I doubt he would have any plans to leave. 'Their lives are very different and so it was natural for them both to eventually move on. But they still remain great friends.' Ellie and her art dealer ex Caspar were reportedly living separate lives for at least six months before announcing their split, despite trying to work things out for the sake of their son. They married in August 2019 at York Minster with A-list guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry. Their split was first rumoured in June 2023, when sources claimed they were 'living apart'. After weeks of discussions about how they would reveal their separation, the pop star's team finally revealed they had been spending time apart - blaming their 'hectic schedules' for the demise of their marriage.
