Atomic Kitten's Liz McClarnon Pregnant at Age 44 Following 2 Miscarriages
Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon is expecting her first child at the age of 44. In an interview with The Mirror, published on Sunday, June 1, McClarnon detailed the emotional journey behind her pregnancy, which was announced via Instagram last month. The musician revealed she experienced two heartbreaking miscarriages before a round of IVF led to joyful news. McClarnon, who is currently in her second trimester, explained that she and her doctor husband, Peter Cho, began exploring fertility options not long after meeting each other online in 2021. McClarnon experienced three failed embryo transfers via IVF and then two miscarriages towards the end of 2024, 'following their first successful cycles.' (In vitro fertilization, more commonly known as IVF, involves mature eggs collected from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab, per Mayo Clinic.) McClarnon told the outlet she had thought she would stop trying. 'I said I was done after the last one, and Peter was absolutely on board with that, he didn't say anything other than, 'This is your body and I'll support whatever you decide you want,' which was a huge thing for me,' she told the outlet. 'I felt so bad emotionally, it was really tough. But then we spent Christmas at home in my tiny two-bedroom flat, and my mum and dad came down from Liverpool and we all squeezed in. That time actually helped me heal.' Stars Who Struggled to Conceive Children Share Their Fertility Issues In her May 13 Instagram reveal, McClarnon posted a video of herself seated on a park bench as the camera slowly approached her from behind. Text appeared over the top of the clip, reading, 'After years of sometimes quite painful IVF and quite dark times,' before the singer stood from the bench to show her growing bump. 'I'm pregnant! We feel like we've been given the world!' then appeared alongside footage of McClarnon beaming. She also reflected on the news via the video's caption, which read, 'I just can't believe we're here. ❤️So many have been through exactly what I went through and worse. ❤️ I want to share what I can and add my voice and ears to those who already help others understand or deal with all that comes with ivf and loss after so much hope.' Over 40 — and Pregnant! See Stars Who Welcomed Babies Later in Life McClarnon told the outlet that she is 'loving life' while aware 'of the potential impact of her age on her pregnancy and labor.' She is reportedly 'already taking aspirin as she falls into the high-risk category' and is being monitored for preeclampsia, described as 'persistent high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy' by the Preeclampsia Foundation. The outlet noted that she will soon start taking 'regular blood-thinning injections' as she moves towards a pregnancy milestone — learning the gender of her baby.

Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon, 44, pregnant with first child
Liz McClarnon has admitted she is 'petrified' ahead of welcoming her first child after having two miscarriages. As a teenager Liz joined the girl group Atomic Kitten alongside Kerry Katona and Natasha Hamilton. The group – who later had Jenny Frost join after Kerry left – scored three number-one hits – Whole Again, Eternal Flame, and The Tide Is High – plus two number-one albums. However last year Liz was left as the only member of Atomic Kitten after the other two quit. A year on Liz has revealed some exciting news in her private life. Earlier this month the 44-year-old admitted she'd 'been keeping a secret'. 'I've mostly kept myself off social media because sometimes it was hard to smile. But after years of sometimes quite painful IVF quite dark times…I'm pregnant,' she captioned a video, which showed her sitting in a park cradling her bump. 'I started to record a video of me just telling you but I got too emotional, so I thought I'd just hide behind this little announcement instead. I just can't believe we're here,' she continued. 'So many have been through exactly what I went through and worse. ❤️ I want to share what I can and add my voice and ears to those who already help others understand or deal with all that comes with IVF and loss after so much hope. I've been a part of some beautifully supportive communities. I'm so grateful.' The singer is expecting her first child with husband Peter Cho, a doctor she met on a dating app during the pandemic. Four months later they moved in together and four months after that the couple were engaged. Early in their relationship they began the IVF process as both wanted children and were aware her being 40 might delay the natural process. However, in 2022 they had three failed embryo transfers, and last year she suffered two miscarriages after the first successful cycles. In an interview with The Mirror, Liz said she decided to share her fertility struggles following 'dark times'. 'The whole process made me truly appreciate that having a baby is a miracle,' she said. 'When it doesn't work, you're just in shock. 'I felt so bad emotionally, it was really tough.' But Liz said she was now 'loving life' and was excited to find out the sex of her baby. She did joke about her nerves though too. 'My knees already hurt. Don't get me wrong, I'm so grateful, but I'm also petrified. But you know what? It's happened to women older than me before, and it'll happen again – so we'll just get on with it!,' she said. When sharing her pregnancy publicly, Liz was flooded with many messages of support – including from her former bandmates. 'Literally couldn't be any happier for you both! After all you've been through, this little miracle is everything,' Natasha wrote. 'The best news ever …. You have been through it girl but never lost faith in what you knew was meant to be 🤍 Beyond happy for you both,' Jenny added. More Trending Liz and Peter married in 2023, but she only revealed his identity to her followers when they celebrated their first wedding anniversary last year. After sharing photos with her husband's face covered by confetti soon after their wedding, she paid tribute to Peter a year later. Sharing a photo of them together, she wrote: 'Guess what?! I've been married to my perfect match for a whole year, I love you Peter Cho!' Got a story?

Rihanna is known for her high-profile pregnancy announcements after she debuted her second pregnancy while performing at the Super Bowl half-time show in 2023, but she prefers to keep her family life out of the spotlight. Vick Hope BBC Radio 1 presenter Vick and her husband Calvin Harris waited for months before revealing they are expecting their first child.

Ten months after their first date, the budding parents are delighted to be growing their family, describing their pregnancy as a 'beautiful surprise'. Georgia exclusively told OK!, 'When you know, you know. I know it's cringey but that's definitely how we feel. Anyone who knows us knows how strong we are and how happy we make each other.' The former Love Island star emphasised that while some people might say it's 'too soon' to start a family, the couple 'couldn't be happier'. Fans showed their support for Georgia and said she will be the 'best mama'. Zahida Allen Geordie Shore star Zahida, 30, delighted her fans with a surprise summer pregnancy announcement – in the same month that she's due to give birth!
