"Over the Christmas holidays, we were very blessed. Norm and I found out we were pregnant," Eva began through tears. "When I was in lockdown with Covid, I started bleeding and unfortunately I lost the baby. It hasn't happened to me before."

Because she had Covid at the time, Jess was unable to leave isolation and visit a doctor in person.

"I wanted to talk about it because it's still so common. We were so early but you grieve a child you never had."

Jess and Norm are parents to Fred, six, and daughter Matilda, four.

Sharing a video of the moment to Instagram, Jess wrote, "1 in 4 people suffer a miscarriage. Mine is pretty raw, and I wasn’t going to talk about it. But was sick of having to put on a jovial mask when you’re crying on the inside."

Bianca Chatfield commented, "Thinking of you guys," while Jack Vidgen added, "I’m so sorry Jess. Love you so much."

Jana Hocking added, "You so much my strong, courageous, smart, gorgeous friend."
