New Zealand opener Devon Conway's wife Kim Watson recently revealed on Instagram about the death of their unborn child due to her miscarriage. Watson took to social media to express her heartfelt emotions after the tragedy which struck the Conway family and also shared a poem by Amy Farquhar.
Conway and Watson got married in April 2022 in South Africa after dating for a long time. They had been engaged since July 2020.
"I’m not one to be public about my personal life but it’s something I know I’m not the only one who has gone through the tough times of a miscarriage but I don’t want to feel ashamed or embarrassed about it but rather open to talking about my experience and feelings so that I could be there for the next woman going through the heartbreak! We will have our miracle one day and we will love them with everything," Kim wrote in her January 31st post.
