Jamie Oliver’s wife Jools reveals she suffered another miscarriage during lockdown
JAMIE Oliver's wife Jools has revealed she suffered a miscarriage during lockdown.
The 45-year-old mum-of-five explained that since giving birth to her son River in 2016, she had lost three babies.
Jools replied: "I really do, I really do, but I've just had three miscarriages since then [River's birth] and I'm thinking - and a recent one three weeks ago - and I'm thinking: 'No.'
"I dunno. I do want to, but I've got to mentally check that it's a good idea to do. And also physically because I am 45 as I always say, nearly 46. So it's a little bit dodgy."
Jools and Jamie have children Poppy, 18, Daisy, 17, Petal, 11, Buddy, nine, and River, three, together.
She added: "Jamie is still up for it, kind of… not really. I haven't got long, maybe another year and then I really will just shut that chapter off because I am very happy and I am pretty full up at the moment as it is.
"But just that little baby, it's a terrible thing to keep wanting something and you can't help it."
Discussing the miscarriages, Jools said: ‘I went to see the doctor the other day and he said: 'How are you mentally?'
"I thought about it and I went: 'Well, this is the fifth one now.' I had two before River, and they’ve been early ones, the last two have been at six-and-a-half weeks.
"So I just feel… I’m really good at going: 'Right, I’m pregnant but it won’t work so I’m just going to carry on' whilst everyone gets really into it and I have really learnt to not because I’m kind of not very positive about it."
Last month, Jools spoke about her five miscarriages in a post about her and Jamie on their 20th wedding anniversary, saying there were "five little stars in the sky";.
She wrote: "20 years married but together 27 years my first true love... Yes I drive you Bonkers and you probably deserve a medal etc...
"We have created 5 wonderful children and lost our 5 little stars in the sky. Thank you for loving me the way you do..."
