The heartbreaking news came just weeks after she found out she was pregnant and just two months after her ex-boyfriend Alistair’s suicide.
Former businessman Alistair, who suffered from anxiety and depression, took his own life at the age of 35 in a friend’s apartment the day he was supposed to see his three daughters.
He and Jessica had run the fashion business, Famous Frocks, together, but split in 2014, when he was found guilty of money laundering and received a 15-month suspended prison sentence.
