Married At First Sight star Beck Zemek reveals she has suffered a miscarriage in heartbreaking post – just two weeks after her baby shower
Married At First Sight star Rebecca Zemek has suffered a miscarriage while expecting her second child.
The Perth-based influencer, 31, shared a clip to Instagram in which she informed her 99,000 followers she and her fiancé Ben Michell had lost the baby.
‘I can’t get my words and thoughts together, so I’ll just write them. At a routine check up, I experienced a silent miscarriage in my second trimester,’ Beck began.
‘The next moments were surreal. The baby had stopped growing, but my body hadn’t realised yet. There were decisions to be made. Decisions no one prepares you for. Decisions that make the whole thing feel painfully real.’
Beck said the mother’s body continues to prepare for birth even after the foetus has lost its viability.
‘Your belly is still round, your hormones still remind you of pregnancy, and yet, you mentally have to come to terms that life has ended.

‘I was caught in a limbo. No longer pregnant, but not ready to say goodbye. It’s a grief like no other, but what I’ve come to realise is the love I felt for that tiny life is real, no matter how brief it was.
‘We’re just going to try to heal and work through this and move forward.’
She thanked her family and friends for supporting her during the difficult time, just two weeks after she and Ben hosted a baby shower in Perth to celebrate her pregnancy.
The event featured a host of reality stars gathering to celebrate the joyous news, including Beck’s MAFS co-star Booka Nile and My Kitchen Rules alum Hannah Campbell.
Many of Beck’s MAFS friends quickly took to the comment section to offer their words of support.
‘I am so sorry. Sending you so much love,’ wrote Alisha Aitken-Radburn.
‘So sorry angel. Love you,’ added Sara Mesa.
‘So proud of you for speaking about this publicly. Your pain is someone else’s healing and us with platforms need to use our voices. I love you and so proud to call you my friend. You’ve got this honey,’ Lauren Dunn chipped in.

Beck rose to fame on MAFS in 2021 where she was unsuccessfully paired with Jake Edwards.
Their union failed after she cheated on him with her ex-boyfriend during filming.
Beck and Ben welcomed their first daughter, Immy, in May 2022.
Shortly after giving birth, Beck said she was not immediately trying to lose weight.
She said during an Instagram Q&A that new mothers should ‘stop putting pressure on your body to do more than it just did’.
Beck then referenced four photos she had posted earlier in the day of her postpartum body one to four weeks after giving birth.
‘The pics you saw were pics of my uterus going down, not me losing weight,’ she added.
