“Me, Scott and all our family really appreciate all of the love and kindness you’ve shown us following the loss of Janice and now my grandad. Thank you so much.”
Her heartfelt words quickly prompted an outpouring of sympathy from fans, many sending messages of comfort to Scarlett and her loved ones.
Still Mourning the Loss of Scott’s Mum
The announcement comes just days after Scarlett shared a deeply emotional tribute following the death of Scott Dobinson’s mother, Janice.
Describing herself as heartbroken, Scarlett reflected on the special bond Janice shared with their family and expressed her sadness that she would never get the chance to meet the couple’s second son.
She remembered Janice as a loving grandmother to their son Jude, a wonderfully supportive mother-in-law, and someone whose warmth and kindness had made a lasting impact from the very beginning of their relationship.
Scarlett also praised the way Janice raised her two sons, saying it spoke volumes about the remarkable woman she was.
A Small Ray of Hope During an Emotional Week
Amid the grief, Scarlett also shared one uplifting family moment that brought comfort during an otherwise heartbreaking week.
After attending a routine pregnancy scan, she revealed that seeing their unborn baby doing well gave the family something positive to hold onto.
Scarlett said watching her little boy happily moving around during the appointment brought a much-needed smile at a time when they needed it most. She also added that their eldest son, Jude, continues to bring joy and laughter to the family every day.
Growing Family Amid Life’s Biggest Challenges
Scarlett and Scott have been together since 2018 and welcomed their first son, Jude, in 2023 after Scarlett previously spoke openly about her four-year fertility journey.
Earlier this year, the couple announced they were expecting their second child, later revealing they are preparing to welcome another baby boy.
While the past week has brought unimaginable sadness, Scarlett’s latest update also reflects the strength of a family finding moments of hope, love, and togetherness even in the midst of profound loss.
