Wests Tigers five-eighth Josh Reynolds has opened up about the heartache of his partner Bella suffering a miscarriage of twin boys.
Reynolds revealed the gender of the children last year by passing a Tigers-branded ball with spikes at a balloon.

But in an interview with Channel 7, the Tiger revealed the loss of the twins came eight weeks before they were due.

When I found out we were having twin boys I was over the moon,” he said, revealing the couple had built a nursery for the boys.

“I just love them and I was ready to take that step.

“It’s made me deal with something in life that I didn’t think I would have to deal with.

“That was something in life I’ve always wanted but I’ve sort of had to go along the lines that everything happens for a reason.”


Reynolds also discussed the difficulty of supporting and comforting his grieving partner.

“How do I comfort her when I’m struggling myself,” he said.

“And because it is a lot harder for females because they go through it, growing inside them.

“I was really shocked but I really wanted to be a man and be there for her too.”

Terrible news. I know how heartbreaking this must be for him as it happened to my sister 3 times.

Josh is a top bloke. Kept visiting my cousin at his house when he had a brain tumor.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you champion.

Wow that's more than just a miscarriage, 8 weeks before they're due would almost certainly require the mother to give birth

I feel horrible for him and of course his partner. It would be very hard to come back from and I wish them well. Hopefully if there's another pregnancy in the future all goes well.

It goes to show how insignificant footy is in the grand scheme of things.

Heard of the news through a friend here in Melbourne a few weeks ago. Absolutely gutted for Josh.

No matter what you think of him on the field, I don’t think any person should ever have to go through what him and his partner have.

Incredibly bad news.

Say what you want about his playing style, no one deserves this. I can't imagine the pain he and his missus are going through. Absolutely devastating news.

I know.

She would have to go through with the birth, knowing the outcome.

Very sad to hear about this. My sister suffered a few miscarriages which really messed her up. But nowhere near as close to the birth. Condolences to Josh and his partner.
