Atomic Kitten’s Liz McClarnon Celebrates First Pregnancy After Miscarriage Struggles
Hold on to your latte—this tidbit is juicier than my triple-shot cappuccino! Atomic Kitten’s own Liz McClarnon, now 44, just dropped the happiest news: she’s expecting her first baby, and honestly, I’m buzzing more than my morning brew. According to People and confirmed by Dotdash Meredith, Liz and her partner, Mark, are over the moon after surviving two heartbreaking miscarriages. She spilled, “It was really tough,” acknowledging the emotional roller coaster that led to this moment. You can practically feel the relief radiating off her Instagram announcement (complete with a sweet ultrasound pic!), which she posted earlier this week.
Liz didn’t hold back on the feels: she described laying in her garden and whispering, “Please stay,” after hearing her baby’s first heartbeat. I mean, cue the waterworks! Since her first miscarriage in 2022 and another last year, she and Mark have leaned on each other (and probably a few extra blankets, let’s be real). In an exclusive chat with The Scottish Sun, Liz opened up about anxiety that kicked back in when she hit the 12-week mark, but these days she’s practicing yoga, sipping herbal teas (with maybe a splash of honey), and giddy with baby-name brainstorming.
The timeline’s pretty epic: dating Mark for three years, wedding bells still TBD, and now a bundle of joy due in early spring. Pregnancy at 44 isn’t unheard of, but Liz’s candid share about doctors’ visits and fertility support feels like a beacon for other women in similar shoes. Between scanning the latest ultrasound selfies (complete with tiny foot shadows!) and comparing swirl patterns in her pumpkin loaf (pregnancy cravings?), she’s keeping it real. Sources like People and OK! Magazine note that she’s under regular care at a London clinic and feeling grateful that the third time’s a charm.
What’s next for our girl from the iconic girl group? Fans are already speculating an Atomic Kitten reunion performance with a baby bump cameo (wouldn’t that be epic?). Meanwhile, Liz promises more updates on how she’s balancing vocal warm-ups with prenatal vitamins. She’s even teasing a baby diary vlog—so buckle up, because Aunt Who’s Had Too Much Coffee is on standby for the next spill. Whew! I swear, I could chat about this all week—and trust me, I will.
