Comedian Russell Howard says his baby son, Felix, died shortly after being born, describing the loss as “the most devastating time of our lives.” In a statement shared with the public, he says his family is “changed for ever” and that their “beautiful baby boy” passed away soon after birth.
Howard and his wife, Cerys Morgan, also thank hospital staff for the care they received during the period after Felix was born. Multiple outlets report that Howard is responding to the tragedy by creating the Felix Foundation, aimed at supporting families facing similar experiences with emotional and practical help. Some coverage also notes that the foundation’s fundraising work includes plans for an event featuring other comedians, to take place next February.
Across the reports, the core details remain consistent: Felix dies shortly after birth earlier this year, Howard makes the announcement via social media, and he launches charity support in Felix’s memory while publicly acknowledging the help provided by the NHS.
