Mollie King has revealed the heartbreaking reason she opted for a C-section with her first baby. The Saturdays star, 38, who shares two children with cricketer Stuart Broad, gave birth to daughter Annabella in 2022.
Tragically, shortly before Annabella was born, Mollie's father was diagnosed with a brain tumour and given just two weeks to live. Determined that he should meet his granddaughter, the singer chose to have a planned C-section.
Speaking on the Happy Mums podcast, Mollie explained: 'I was really worried that he wasn't going to meet Annabella. I was like, I just need to know that she is going to come out at a safe time, but I need her to meet dad.' She said hospital staff booked her in immediately once she explained the situation.
Her father met Annabella once and passed away 10 days later. Mollie also revealed she and Stuart are yet to marry, partly due to struggling with the thought of walking down the aisle without her dad.
