Former Geordie Shore sensation Holly Hagan has delivered a strikingly honest account of her postpartum experience, confessing that her sex drive has plummeted to "zero" since giving birth to her son, Alpha Jax.
In a candid revelation that will resonate with many new mothers, the 31-year-old reality star spoke openly about the profound physical and emotional changes that have impacted her intimacy with husband Jacob Blyth.
The Reality of Postpartum Intimacy
"My sex drive is zero. Absolutely zero," Hagan stated bluntly during a recent podcast appearance. The new mum explained that while she and former rugby player Jacob maintain a strong bond, their physical relationship has taken a significant backseat since their son's arrival.
Hagan described feeling "touched out" after long days caring for their infant, leaving little energy for romance with her partner of over a decade. This frank admission highlights a rarely discussed reality for many couples navigating the transition to parenthood.
A Supportive Partnership
Despite the intimate challenges, Hagan was quick to praise Jacob's understanding nature. "He's been incredible," she shared, emphasising that there's no pressure from her husband as they adjust to their new family dynamic.
The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish Mexican ceremony in 2022, welcomed Alpha Jax in May 2023. Hagan's openness about their experience aims to normalise conversations around postpartum sexuality and relationship adjustments.
Breaking Taboos in the Public Eye
By sharing her personal struggle, Hagan joins a growing movement of celebrities using their platform to destigmatise common postpartum issues. Her vulnerability provides a refreshing counterpoint to the often-glamourised portrayal of new motherhood in the media.
As Hagan and Blyth continue to navigate this new chapter, their experience offers validation to countless parents facing similar intimate challenges after welcoming a child.
