In an Instagram post to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week in 2023, the couple candidly revealed they had experienced a third miscarriage.
The pair welcomed their daughter Cyan in April 2021 following two devastating miscarriages and a failed round of IVF.
Writing for Tommy’s in October, the couple gave an update on their hopes to add to their family, explaining: ‘It’s not been easy but we are still on this journey and trying to stay positive.’
Speaking about their daughter, Simon said: ‘She’s everything I dreamt of and more. We felt truly blessed and so lucky to have this beautiful healthy baby.’
He explained though that since Cyan’s birth they’ve also had another miscarriage and an unsuccessful frozen embryo transfer.
Simon revealed that both he and Ayshen struggled with their mental health after the losses: ‘All I wanted was to get my wife through it, I didn’t really have the time to grieve myself,’ Simon wrote.
The pop star said he wanted to speak out to help others, in particular other dads and partners going through a loss, telling them: ‘Please don’t go through it alone and in silence.’
‘Sometimes it’s about admitting what you cannot do. You can’t fix it but you can be there and listen. Find a way to cope with your own emotions, whether that’s a beer with a mate or a walk.’
