Union opened up about her struggle to have a baby in her book: “We’re going to need more wine”, which was published in 2017.

In the book, she wrote that she had experienced eight or nine miscarriages.

“For three years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant — I’ve either been about to go into an IVF cycle, in the middle of an IVF cycle, or coming out of an IVF cycle,” she said.

She added that she and Wade, whom she married in 2014, “remain bursting with love and ready to do anything to meet the child we’ve both dreamed of”.
