Jackie Belanoff-Smith, who is married to rugby star Ben Foden, has revealed that the couple suffered miscarriage.
The pair got together after Dancing On Ice star Ben cheated on The Saturdays star Una Healy in 2018.
Ben married American socialite Jackie in New York a year later, and they welcomed daughter Farrah in May 2020.
The TV star also shares two children with Irish singer Una – daughter Aoife, 10, and son Tadhg, seven.
Now, Jackie has hit back at a social media troll who criticised her appearance and compared her to Ben’s ex-wife, sharing her very recent miscarriage heartbreak in the process.
The original comment said that Ben’s ex Una ‘looks way hotter and prettier’, branding Jackie a ‘not so pretty hag’.

Unable to bite her tongue and sharing her response to the comment on her Instagram Story, Jackie penned: ‘I was pregnant for a while so I haven’t had Botox in a while, just had a miscarriage last week, and my 2 year old has sleep regression so I haven’t slept in a million years.’
She continued: ‘I apologise if my old haggard appearance bothers you. I noticed you don’t have any photos of yourself though… but you’re probably just too ridiculously good looking for people to even have the privilege of witnessing.’
The post was the first time Jackie had publicly shared that she was pregnant.

Earlier this year, the US star and rugby ace – who announced his retirement from the sport in March after 18 years playing professionally – sat down for a joint interview.
In conversation with The Sun, Jackie shared that she trusts Ben not to be unfaithful, despite his infidelity when married to Una.
‘People perceive Ben as some slimy, habitual cheater and it’s really not who he is. I don’t think Ben could possibly cheat on me’, she told the publication.

‘Everyone’s like, “He cheated on this beautiful, famous pop star — of course he could cheat on you”. But that’s just not the dynamic we have.’
Jackie added that the married couple have the passwords to each other’s phones and tablets, and also track each other’s whereabouts on Find My Friends.
As a sign of the full disclosure in their relationship, she said that Ben shows her topless photos women send him on social media.

‘We have a very honest and open relationship. We don’t lead separate lives. It’s frustrating that Ben’s cheating is brought up constantly,’ she said.
Ben is alleged to have had a romance with a PR assistant in 2015, which was eventually discovered by Una after she went through his phone.
