Coronation Street and Hollyoaks stars Kym Marsh and Jamie Lomas are in a state of mourning today, after the premature delivery of their son at 22-weeks gestation. Archie Jay Lomas died minutes after birth, according to reports. In a statement, the couple said,

“Archie is our beautiful angel and we will miss him so much.”

Kym, 32, is mom to David, 13, and Emily, 10, with ex-partner Dave Cunliffe. Jamie is dad to Billy, 2, with ex-partner Hayley Lever.

Archie — who had been due in June — was born on Wednesday, the same day Kym’s co-star Alison King delivered daughter Daisy Mae.

Oh no! My heart goes out to them.

- Lissette on February 12th, 2009

I will be praying for them. This is really sad, no one deserves to lose a child. I lost my baby at 9wks last march, and have been ttc off and on for a few months now. I just keep praying that God will send me a little angel soon. God bless everyone that has ever experienced a lost.

I was just stunned when I read this today. What a horrible thing to have happen. And on the same day that Kym’s on-screen sister-in-law had a healthy baby girl. I just don’t know what to say. I will be thinking of all five of them, such a huge loss. Bless you little Archie.

This is so awful. My cousin lost her little boy at 22 weeks several years ago, and I have seen firsthand the pain that these parents must be going through. They are in my heart, thoughts and prayers, and I hope they know their little angel is with the Lord and that he is watching over them. RIP sweet baby.

- Shannon on February 12th, 2009

- Sarah on February 12th, 2009

I lost my son at 24wks almost 11yrs ago and it will hurt in my heart for the rest of my life….my thoughts and prayers to their whole family as the begin this journey of grief.

- Monique on February 12th, 2009

This is unbelievably sad, i was told at my 14week scan last June that my baby boy had died, i was heartbroken then but to have to go through labour and deliver your little baby must be absolutely gut wrenching, my thoughts are with the family. RIP little man.

- collette on February 12th, 2009

I know exactly how they feel. I recently suffered a miscarriage around the time Tori gave birth to Stella. It was really hard for me to even see or hear a baby. I am still having a hard time dealing with the loss and now am going through other issues because of the miscarriage. I hope that they can heal through this process and be able to try again in the future. As for me, I have to wait regardless and will be really nervous when I get pregnant again. I will not be able to enjoy the pregnancy until I get past the 8 or 9 week mark, which is where I was at when I lost it. Hang in there and God Bless You!!!!.

I am SO sorry for the loss this family is having to endure, I have lost babies at 24 weeks, 20 weeks and 10 weeks and both my girls living were born premature. Nothing ever prepares you for the loss of a child. My hear goes out to this Family, may you find comfort at this time.

Nothing can ever fix the pain of losing a baby, but I hope somehow they find comfort in each other and the few moments they had with their baby boy…Rest In Paradise Archie Jay Lomas xxx

“The angel opened the book of life and wrote down my baby’s birth date. As she closed the book, she whispered ‘too beautiful for earth’…”

I feel for them both. I lost my baby at 10wks in Oct 2007. It takes time for the pain to ease. I hope that they will both heal in due time and have courage to try again. I did and gave birth to a daughter almost a year to the day of my m/c. God is good and I learned to appreciate what I have through what I lost.

- TeeTee on February 12th, 2009

I am so sorry for their loss, I know it isn’t easy, but he is with the Lord now and they should feel better knowing that.

- Momma Mae on February 12th, 2009

My thoughts and prayers are with them.

- CTBmom on February 12th, 2009

im so sorry to here about kyms loss. i can totally understand what shes going through as i have lost to boys my self one at 19 half weeks and 21 half weeks.they are my angels that keep watch over me. i was 16 when i lost my first and nearly 18 with my second. i have since gone on to have a to healthy boys with lots of help as i have a weak cervix. im now pregnant and 22 weeks my self and reading her story has scared me. its not nice losing babys and the pain you suffer after all i can say is be strong and it does get easier over time.

- annmarie on February 13th, 2009

Beautiful Girl Kym, Your my favourite celebrity. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I know you probably won’t even be reading this but I’m writing anyway. I was so excited when I found out you were pregnant again and I am devastated for your loss. Thinking of you xxx

- Emily on February 13th, 2009

Such a sad loss. Even harder to bear when everyone is talking about it and it’s on the front of every paper. I am so fortunate to have four relatively healthy chidren who were all prems. It was devastating spending months beside an incubator willing them to survive but at least I still have them. We should be thankful for all we have in our lives and celebrate each day, as for some tomorrow is never there! We will pray for you and your family and if you listen hard enough you will hear 1 more angel singing in the heavenly choir. God bless Archie and everyone who loves him x

My thoughts and prayers are with them both. xoxo
