New Zealand batsman Devon Conway and his wife Kiw Watson lost their unborn child and informed about the miss happening on Instagram. Conway married his long-time girlfriend in April 2022 after getting engaged in 2020. Conway has been one of the best batsmen for New Zealand in the current era and has been responsible for providing the team with solid starts.

After getting married in 2022, the couple were expecting their first child in 2024. Devon Conway is currently on national duty and is playing against South Africa in the two-match Test series. The first match of the series was played at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui in Tauranga.

Devon Conway’s wife shared the heartbreaking news by posting on her official Instagram handle. Kim Watson stated that she is not the first woman to experience this situation and wants to be there for the other women who go through this heartbreak.

She wrote in her Instagram post, “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.”
