England international Missy Bo Kearns has revealed that she has had a miscarriage.
Aston Villa midfielder Kearns, whose partner is Luton Town's Liam Walsh, had shared news of her pregnancy in early March.
"With very heavy hearts, we want to share that we've lost our baby during pregnancy," wrote 24-year-old Kearns in a social media post.
"The past weeks have been filled with a kind of sadness that's hard to explain, and we're still trying to come to terms with it all."
Kearns, who made her England debut in June 2025, made more than 100 appearances for Liverpool before joining Aston Villa in August 2024.
She added: "Right now, we're focusing on recovering and supporting each other through this.
"We truly appreciate the love and support around us more than we can say."
Aston Villa said: "We are sending all our love and support to Missy Bo and Liam at this difficult time."
