Comedian Russell Howard says he and his wife, Cerys Morgan, have lost their baby boy, who died hours after she gave birth. Howard said the child was “beautiful” and described the death as a tragedy shared by their family.
The reports note that Howard and Morgan’s experience is discussed alongside wider issues affecting families around pregnancy loss and early life. Howard has set up a foundation aimed at supporting people who are affected by miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth. Both outlets present the announcement as Howard’s confirmation of what happened, and they reference the role of their NHS doctor wife and the timing of the loss after delivery.
