Pregnant Mrs Hinch shares adorable snap of growing baby bump as she reflects on ‘simply getting through’ 2024
MRS Hinch has reflected on the year of 2024 as she tries to make sense of her grief and happiness.
The influencer 34, has had a rollercoaster of a year as she is pregnant with her third child while dealing with the grief of her dad tragically passing away.
The mum-of-two, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, revealed that she didn’t have the words for a Christmas post this year as she was just trying to ‘get through’ the turbulent year.
While the cleaning fanatic didn’t want to say much on the festive season she did give her 4.8 million followers a sneak look at her Christmas.
The mum shared an adorable picture of her growing baby bump wearing a brown figure-hugging dress.
By her side were her two sons Ronnie and Lennie who could be seen giving his soon-to-come sibling a big kiss.
Mrs Hinch also shared images of her ever-growing animal family, with her pooch Henry sitting on the sofa with her pet chicken and she snapped some festive pictures of her alpacas, Roy, Rodney and Raymond.
The influencer wrote: “Hello everyone. A few pictures from our December.
“I don’t really have the words for a Christmas post this year, but I do know there will be a lot of posts soon from people sharing how much they’ve achieved in 2024.
“So, just in case someone needs to hear this – it’s okay if the only thing you did this year was simply get through it.
“I’m sending love, Christmas wishes and robin visits to you all, see you in 2025 everyone, for a new year, new memories and meeting our new baby Hinch, with love from my family to yours, we are grateful for you all, thank you for everything, Merry Christmas.”
She also shared a picture of her blue and orange-themed Christmas tree as well as her husband Jamie dressed up as an elf to surprise their tots.
On 25th April, Sophie lost her dad Alan after he passed away unexpectedly in his sleep.
Previously, the star shared that her late father, who suffered with life-long “chest, lung and heart” problems, was “never blessed with… fantastic health” and had been hospitalised for several weeks in 2023.
The mother, who took an eight-week break from social media after her dad’s death, previously shared an update with fans regarding her grief journey.
She shared that some days she feels ‘numb’ and finds the smallest of tasks like ‘mountains too tall’ to climb.
When did Mrs Hinch's dad pass away?
Her father actually died on April 25, 2024, but his grieving daughter waited until she was ready to share the sad news with her fans.
In April 2023, Sophie revealed how she was taking a break social media after her dad ended up in hospital.
She said at the time: “My dad is in hospital at the moment guys. My dad has never been blessed shall we say with fantastic health – from his chest, his lungs, his heart.
“He’s always struggled you know.”
She heartbreakingly added: “I just want him to be happy.”
The mum-of-two, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, shared that her grief ‘comes in waves’, but feels like a ‘never ending process’ of her soul ‘crying out’.
People were quick to take to the new Instagram post sending her lots of love during this difficult time.
One person wrote: “Christmas is hard when you have lost someone that you love so much. Its heartbreaking and never ever the same again.”
Another commented: “Hoping that 2025 is a year of love and healing for you.”
“Sending you all so much love. Your Dad will be looking down at you all so proud. Soon, a new little bundle of joy,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Some years all you can do is survive, better days will come.”
“Sometimes just making it to the end of the year is enough, congrats on the new baby,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas even though it’s hard when you’ve lost a loved one.”
