Former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger has confirmed the devastating news that her newborn daughter has passed away shortly after being born.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday morning, Lauren, 35, shared a black and white image of her baby's hand touching hers. In an emotional statement, Lauren shared that she had given birth to a daughter they had named Lorena but that she died after not suffering any pregnancy or labour complications, The Mirror reports.
Taking to Instagram, the reality star shared a black and white photo of her holding onto Lorena's tiny hand. "She was the most beautiful healthy baby I’ve ever seen just like her sister @babylarose.x … " the heartbroken mum penned.
"Words can’t describe as a mother losing your baby that I carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth too for my angel to be taken from me."
She continued: "She was fine & healthy but I am not going into detail right now just know that there was nothing wrong with her or myself she was perfect I can’t understand it she is so so beautiful Larose twin so similar. I am broken. I am back home from hospital. Me & Charlie spent as much time with our baby girl Lorena and I haven’t said my goodbye yet."
Lauren, 35, added: "Larose she is my rock that’s getting me through this or I wouldn’t survive… I will never ever get over this but I will learn how to live everyday with Lorena in my heart she will be with me always and I will be with her again one day … My [angel] Lorena I love you so much."
Charles commented on Lauren's post, sharing a heart and a world emoji before writing: " She will always be with us." Lauren was also quickly flooded with support from her fellow TV stars and fans.
