Irish influencer Sinead O’Brien announces the loss of her baby

Sinead O'Brien confirmed the heartbreaking news on Instagram

The mum revealed that she and her husband, Simon, sadly lost their baby in July.

Writing on Instagram, she announced the devastating news.

"As this month comes to a close, July. It's not an easy one to share, but having spent this last few weeks navigating our way through one of our most challenging times together offline, I want to send love and strength to anyone who has walked this path of grief.

"One of the things that has helped me through this is knowing I am not alone, and I hope I can bring comfort in the same way to anyone who is going through this. Be kind to yourself, as I have been. Thanks to my amazing family and friends, who I could not have gotten through any of this without."

The mum said her family has been her support through this unthinkable time.

"Mam, Simon, you are my rock. Jacob, my everything and more. I wrote this little poem above for our little baby the morning after we parted ways, and although our angel baby was not ready for this world, I will carry the love we shared forever," the mum added.

Sinead and her husband, Simon, are parents to a three-year-old son named Jacob.

Sinead penned a heartbreaking poem for her late baby:

'Our little heart

'A tiny star that shone so bright,
Our little heart, you gave a big fight
Though your time was brief, your love remains
A spark that will guide us through the joys and pains.

'Your big bro will always love you too
Because even he has a heart as big as you
And of course Your daddy and i will always wonder
Where our little heart is growing fonder

'But there’s one thing we know for sure
A heart as special as yours needs no cure
And In our dreams we will see your smiling face
Until we all meet again in our special place

'Our little heart x'
