Alex Reid begs for prayers as pregnant fiancée suffers heavy bleeding at 18 weeks

Alex Reid has asked for prayers after sharing a heartbreaking update about fiancée Nikki's pregnancy.

The former cage fighter, who used to date glamour model Katie Price, revealed that the couple had been dealt with devastating news as Nikki Manashe's waters broke just 18 weeks into her pregnancy with the couple's twins.

Earlier this year, the happy couple announced that they would be welcoming a set of twins following a successful round of IVF.

However, Alex, 47, revealed his heartbreak in a lengthy post as he informed his followers that Nikki had faced some tragic complications during her pregnancy with the twins.

In the emotional post, Alex begged fans for their prayers and asked them to be extra sensitive about the couple's heartbreaking news.

"Please just pray for my family. Dear God, I come to you today with a heavy heart, asking for your help and guidance for Nikki @ivf_mama_nikki and my twins," Alex wrote.

"Last night we had the most traumatic evening and Nikki’s waters broke and has had heavy bleeding.

"She is 18 weeks pregnant and is currently experiencing complications in the hospital. Please God keep my babies and Nikki safe."

Alex went on: "I pray that Nikki and the twins feel your love and presence during this trying time, and that they are comforted by the support of their family and friends.

"May they find peace and strength in your grace, and may they emerge from this experience with renewed hope, joy, and gratitude."

Alex and Nikki welcomed their daughter Anastasia, 2, after a seven year IVF battle.

The couple have had a difficult journey to parenthood but said their dreams had come true when they discovered they were expecting twins earlier this year.

Nikki has endured quite a traumatic time in her own journey to motherhood.

The pregnant star almost died after an ectopic pregnancy before the couple embarked on IVF and after that, six pregnancies tragically ended in miscarriage before their 'miracle' baby Anastasia arrived safe and sound in 2021.
