Scarlett Moffatt has shared that she’s been through the “hardest month” of her and her partner’s lives as they suffer two heartbreaking family deaths
Scarlett Moffatt has told fans that she has been through the “hardest month” of her life after two family members died. The former Gogglebox star lost both her grandad and her mother-in-law in July.
Speaking on social media a the time, Scarlett said: “Unfortunately, more sad news for our family this week. My grandad Moffatt has sadly passed away.”
This came just days after the death of her fiance Scott Dobinson‘s mother Janice. “My heart is broken for Scott and all of his family at the loss of his mum Janice,” she wrote at the time.
“You were the best Nanna to Jude, the kindest mother-in-law and one of the loveliest people I’ve ever known. I’m so upset that you won’t get to meet your second grandson, but I know you will be watching over us all.”
In her post about her grandfather, Moffatt added: “Me, Scott and all our family really appreciate all of the love and kindness you’ve shown us following the loss of Janice and now my grandad. Thank you so much.”
Now, the star, who is also recently appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here South Africa, shared another post to Instagram, telling her followers that July had been her family’s “hardest month”.
“It’s been the hardest month of our lives so grateful we have each other,” Moffatt shared. “I now understand that grief is really just love. It’s all the love you still want to give, but no longer can.
“I’ve known @scottdobby since I was 17, and I still can’t quite believe the life we’ve built together. When grief arrives, it has a way of making you hold on to each other even tighter. Amongst the sadness, we’re finding little pockets of joy, mostly thanks to Jude & bump and looking at old photographs and memories made x. Sending so much love to everyone who knows this feeling. Be gentle with yourselves.”
Amid the grief, Moffatt and Dobinson do have something to look forward to, as she recently announced that she is pregnant with their second child. The two already have a son, three year-old Jude, who was born after a four week fertility journey, leading Moffatt to call him her “miracle baby”. When announcing she was expecting another child, she called the baby “another miracle”.
In the announcement, Jude held up a personalised newspaper that read: “Baby Dobinson; another miracle coming soon!” Moffatt added in the caption: “We honestly can’t believe we’re writing this… After everything, we feel unbelievably lucky to be able to say… our family is growing. One little miracle gave us Jude, and now he’s going to be a big brother. And if there’s one thing we know for certain, it’s that he is going to be the most amazing big brother. We are so grateful, so excited, and still a little bit in shock… Our hearts are fuller than we ever thought possible.”
