Ben Foden’s wife Jackie has spoken out about her recent miscarriage, calling it a “disappointment” but said she will likely be pregnant again “next month”.
The 37-year-old American recently revealed on Instagram that she has suffered a miscarriage and in a new interview said the couple will try again.
Speaking on the Popular On DM podcast, Jackie said: “We were pregnant last month and lost it on Monday a few days ago. It was a bummer.

“It was super weird being pregnant and waking up the next day and not being pregnant. Your boobs feel different immediately, you stop peeing all the time.”
Ben, 37, and Jackie are already parents to daughter Farrah, two, while the rugby player shares children Aoife Belle, 10, and Tadhg, seven, with his ex-wife Una Healy.
Jackie shared how many of her friends had trouble conceiving and she is happy that she and Ben got pregnant on their first try with Farrah.
She said: “We got pregnant on our first try, Farrah was our first try. Many of my friends have trouble getting pregnant. I talk to them and they feel hopeless.
“I’m 37, I totally expected this to happen. Realistically, I’ll be pregnant again next month.”

Jackie added that she thinks it’s important for women to talk about their miscarriages because it’s “so normal”.
She said: “A couple of people said I miscarried too. I thought let’s talk about it! It’s so normal. My mother went to me, “your body knows what to do in this scenario.” ‘
It comes after Jackie opened up about her sad news as she hit back at a cruel online troll who said some harsh words at her.
Jackie’s response was: “I’ve been pregnant for a while so I haven’t had botox in a while, miscarried last week and my two year old has sleep regression so I haven’t slept in a million years. My apologies if my aged, gaunt looks bother you.

“I noticed you don’t have any photos of yourself… but you’re probably just too ridiculously good looking for people to even have the privilege of witnessing.”
The Instagram post marked the first time Jackie revealed that she and Ben are expecting a baby.
Ben and Jackie tied the knot in 2020 – a year and a half after his marriage to Una, 40, fell apart over his cheating and just two days after his divorce was finalized.
Ben left the singer heartbroken when he was unfaithful, as he later admitted: “I was the one who committed adultery… It’s not ideal, but we’re very amicable.”

Jackie opened up about her relationship with Ben earlier this year, insisting they implicitly trust each other.
She told The Sun: “People perceive Ben as a slimy, habitual scammer and it’s really not who he is. I don’t think Ben could cheat on me.”
Jackie added: “We have our passwords on each other’s phones, we use each other’s laptops, we track each other on Find My Friends. I could go through his Instagram right now if I wanted to.
“We have a very honest and open relationship. We don’t live separate lives. It’s frustrating that Ben’s cheating is constantly being brought up.’
