Jennifer Hawkins Has Welcomed Her First Child

A huge congratulations to Jennifer Hawkins and husband Jake Wall who have announced the arrival of their first child, daughter Frankie Violet. 

The pair took to Instagram to share the happy news, with adorable snaps of their new bub. 

 "Frankie Violet Hawkins Wall, dream come true!" Jennifer wrote. "So thankful to be holding our beautiful healthy baby girl! We couldn’t be more in love."

In a recent interview with Stellar, the 35-year-old opened up for the first time about her endometriosis diagnosis and how she’d suffered from a devastating miscarriage that left her at breaking point.

“Last year was such a tough year for Jake and me,” she said. “I felt like I almost broke and, in fact, it’s still really raw. But Jake was amazing. He let me sit with the pain, feel it and not be OK.”

The couple had intended to start a family together soon after marrying in 2013. But it didn’t take long before Jen realised her journey to motherhood wouldn’t be so straight-forward.

“As a woman and a Type A personality, I’m used to planning everything. I think this will happen, then this will happen. It seemed like a lifetime as month after month people constantly asked us when we were going to have a baby,” she said.

Soaking up the Vit D today was heaven! She seemed to luvvv it, & was kicking me all day! 🥰👶🏼💓☀️ @jbronze__

When she eventually did fall pregnant, their elation was short-lived: during the first scan they found the baby had no heartbeat. Soon after she was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis – the most severe stage of the condition which causes considerable scarring, blocked fallopian tubes and damage to the ovaries.

She added, “I had so many years of planning, but the one thing I so dearly wanted couldn’t be planned. Everything crumbled. With women, we want everything to be OK, but sometimes it’s just not.”  

After six years of trying for a baby, they finally had success, although Jen admits they were cautious – even after their 12-week scan – choosing only to tell friends and family they were going to have daughter until they were given the all-clear by doctors.  

We wish the new family all the best.
