Former Married At First Sight participant Elizabeth Sobinoff has revealed she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage between the births of her two children.

The 34-year-old reality TV alum shared the personal news on Instagram on Monday, reflecting on a difficult chapter in her life. Sobinoff, who rose to fame during her appearances on MAFS in 2019 and 2020, is now a mother to an 18-month-old daughter and a newborn son, who was born in April.

“Saying goodbye to a chapter of life that had its ups and downs,” she wrote in her caption, adding: “It is bittersweet to say goodbye to that chapter of my life. I have my two babies and it is the most beautiful feeling in the world.”

In the post, she disclosed that her children are 17 months apart and shared that she experienced a miscarriage before falling pregnant with her second child.

“My babies are 17 months apart,” she wrote. “I had a miscarriage between my two pregnancies. I lost a baby. The baby had a strong heartbeat after my first scan… Less than 48hrs later I was experiencing a threatened miscarriage. The scan was on a Wednesday and by that Sunday I lost the baby.”

She went on to describe how deeply the experience affected her, revealing that she felt a strong need to become pregnant again following the loss.

“I was focused,” she wrote. “I couldn’t get past this. Losing the baby, I thought I need to give myself a rest. Around a week and a half later I fell pregnant with my son.”

Reflecting further on the emotional aftermath, she admitted she had not fully processed the grief at the time.

“I just lost a baby that I wanted so badly,” she said. “Then I fell pregnant, and I was told this. I hadn’t dealt with my emotions. I pushed it down, deep inside. I remember getting the phone call that I was pregnant. My girlfriend was with me and I cried with happiness.”

The MAFS star concluded her message by sharing how motherhood has shifted her focus in life.

“The last few years I’ve been pregnant. Now I find I’m on the journey of enjoying my children and finding my new identity, other than being pregnant. It is bittersweet.”

Dubbed “Australia’s Most Confident Bride” during her season six appearance on MAFS, Elizabeth is now married to engineer Alex Vega and has stepped away from reality TV to focus on her family life.
