She made the surprise announcement on Instagram and captioned a photo of herself with her partner and two children in the following way:
"We are over the moon to be expecting a new addition to the family.
I've always dreamed of having a big family and we are so thankful to be able to give the kids another sibling."[29]
In the name of god, the most merciful the most compassionate.
Truly to god we belong and truly to him we shall return.
God doesn’t give a person a burden which they can’t not handle in this life.
There is really no test harder that a person can face, than a loss of their child.
The bond that is created between the mother and her child, through pregnancy forms the strongest of bonds.
God loves those who are patient through hardship.
This world is short, and we believe our angel Jamal Reign Ada is waiting at the gates of paradise for mum and dad with open arms.
Rest In Peace our little angel🤍[30]
On July 5, 2020, Hembrow shared her grief over the loss, posting a photo to Instagram of herself cuddling her two children, daughter Aaliyah, three, and son Gabriel, one. She wrote in the caption: 'In God I trust that this is my test. I'm content and grateful for everything, my blessings, my losses, my gains, for the good and the bad.' She explained the loss of her son had 'changed the way I look at life'. 'Experiencing a loss like this has truly changed the way I look at life. I've learnt many lessons and continue to grow each day that passes,' she wrote.[32]
Emilee went on to acknowledge the 'thousands' of messages she had received from families who'd been through similar experiences.
She also revealed how the love of her family, friends, and followers had helped her cope during the extremely emotional time.
'I have learnt from this that if someone you care for goes through hardship, to be there for them physically and emotionally,' she said.
'There is no right or wrong thing you can say, but just being there even without any words has helped tremendously.'[32]
On July 10, 2020, Hembrow posted a photo of herself with her children and revealed in a caption the impact of losing her unborn son on her two older children, daughter Aaliyah, and son Gabriel.
She wrote:
Talking to siblings about loss can be difficult.
Gabriel is too young to understand what happened but I’ve notice he has become extra clingy with me, giving me extra kisses, maybe he can just sense something.
Aaliyah on the other hand has asked a lot of questions, her dad & I have explained that her baby brother will be watching over her with God.
Even when I was too weak to think of anything my amazing husband organised balloons for the funeral, to explained to Aaliyah that once she let go of them baby Jamal would go up with them to heaven ☁️ I think this definitely helped her understand.

She often speaks about him, the other day she told me she dreamt of him in her dreams & giggled.
I think it’s so important not to shut your kids out & have a healthy communication about your loss🤍[35]
On July 13, 2020, Hembrow shared a photo to Instagram of herself holding her stillborn baby in a hospital. She described it as a moment she 'will cherish for the rest of my life'. She wrote: 'Looking at this photo is really surreal to me. The pain comes and goes. I keep reminding myself [of] this verse, "The greater the hardship, the greater the reward. Remain patient and know that God tests only those whom he loves." 'I remember the doctor asking me if I wanted to hold him on my chest once I had delivered him. Initially I said no. I couldn't comprehend the whole situation. I was physically and emotionally numb,' she continued.[33]
Emilee said she didn't think she was 'strong enough to hold him, see him, touch him' and then let him go.
'I had a nurse in the room with me and she told me that she had gone through the exact thing I was going through.
She said if I didn't hold him and embrace my baby it would be the biggest regret I would have.
All I can say is she was right,' she added.
She concluded: 'Holding baby Jamal, admiring his face [and] feeling his skin was the most precious moment that I will cherish for the rest of my life.'[33]
