Veruca Salt’s baby passes away
Hartley revealed that her baby has passed away in an Instagram statement, writing: “It is with a heavy heart that I’m writing this.”
“I dont know what happened, he is having an autopsy this week but it is unlikely that Ill ever have an answer,” the 25-year-old continued.
“Im just saying this because people are still commenting on my�TikToks saying how happy I look with him and ‘just wait for the toddler stage’ and stuff, and I really cant take it anymore. Im really sorry.”
The New Zealand-born TikTok star has made her Instagram profile private, but screenshots of the statement are circling the internet.
