The nineties star explained that the traumatic experience, which saw her give birth at seven months put her off trying for children again, as she ruled out adoption and IVF.
In a new interview, Whigfield said her newborn died in 2000 after just three days and that she’d not spoken about her loss until then.
She said: ‘I had a daughter in 2000 but unfortunately, I gave birth in the seventh month, and she didn’t survive – she survived only three days.
‘So, after that I just didn’t feel like having children. I’m 52 so having children is a bit hard. No, I wouldn’t adopt or have IVF – I just started having animals after that.
‘I started having dogs and today I’m happy I don’t have kids because I see my niece and she’s so much work.’
The singer revealed that she’s engaged to long-term partner Finn, who’s an Italian music producer, after he proposed last Christmas – but they aren’t in any rush to get married.
