Emma Hayes Children: Did Emma Hayes Have Twins?
In 2018, Hayes was pregnant with twins but lost one of them, Albie, 28 weeks in. She gave birth to the surviving twin, Harry, on 17 May 2018.
Hayes announced she was pregnant in December 2017 but one of the twins she was expecting did not make it past the third trimester.
She gave birth to a baby boy in May but told Sky Sports News, in an exclusive interview, that having to deal with losing her other child put things in perspective for her.
“Throughout all of that period, I learnt to really value what was important,” Hayes said.
“I knew I had an unhealthy child, mainly after about the 20th week, so I knew I was battling against it. I did that privately because I think it’s important that the team don’t deal with that burden – that’s my responsibility.
“But I’m grateful for everything I’ve got and I think that’s part of my working-class background.
“I’ve always been like that but, even more so now, I value life as a result of it, and losing a child maybe five weeks from giving birth will live with me forever.”
