Jamie Oliver's wife Jools reveals she suffered miscarriage amid coronavirus pandemic
British chef Jamie Oliver's wife Jools is opening up about miscarrying amid the coronavirus pandemic.
During an appearance on the "Made By Mammas" podcast Monday, the mother of five said she really wanted to have one more child since the last time she appeared on the podcast but has run into complications.
"I really do but I've just had three miscarriages since then… and a recent one three weeks ago and I'm thinking, no," she said. "I dunno. I do want to, but I've just got to mentally check that it's a good idea to do it."
She added, "And also physically because I am 45 as I always say, I'm nearly 46. So it's a little bit dodgy."
She also shared Jamie's perspective.
"He's kinda still up for it, kind of, not really," she said. "So 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'm pretty flocked at the moment as it is."
Jools added that "it is hard," saying she also suffered two previous miscarriages before her last child for a total of five, but says she's "doing OK."
The couple share children Poppy, 18, Daisy, 17, Petal, 11, Buddy, 9 and River, 3.
Jools joins other celebrity women who have been vocal about their miscarriages.
In June, James Van Der Beek revealed his wife Kimberly suffered her fifth miscarriage.
In an emotional Instagram post, Van Der Beek, 43, opened up about himself and wife Kimberly being "overjoyed" to learn they were again expecting after "suffering a brutal, very public miscarriage last November."
"This time, we kept the news to ourselves. But last weekend, once again, 17 weeks in... the soul we’d been excited to welcome into the world had lessons for our family that did not include joining us in a living physical body," the actor wrote.
In April, Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria announced they were expecting baby No. 5 about four months after she revealed her second miscarriage of 2019.
