Chloe Pink shares private battle with fertility: ‘Another month, another negative’

AFL star Toby Pink’s wife Chloe Pink has candidly revealed her battle with fertility in a raw and honest post with followers.

Chloe, 26, who is an influencer and who has become an advocate against online bullying and harassment, shared a video detailing the setbacks her and her husband, 27, have faced in their desire to start a family.

The pair married in March last year and Chloe has been vocal about copping backlash and vile abuse over her appearance when she first shared their wedding photographs.

In her video, shared on Instagram, Chloe can be seen sharing the negative results of various pregnancy tests and appears emotional.

“Another month, another negative,” she wrote in the caption of her post.

“Still hoping. still trying. 🤍.”

She added a message for anyone else going through the same thing in terms of their fertility: “For anyone quietly carrying this heartbreak, you’re not alone.”

“I’m sending you so much love.”

Underneath the post, Chloe received an abundance of support from followers.

“One negative closer to the positive 🤞,” one wrote.

It’s been reported that Chloe has conditions like PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, now known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), which can affect fertility, weight, and menstrual cycles and mental health.

Chloe recently told nine.com.au about the abuse she received after sharing the photographs from her wedding day online, over her appearance.

“No one can take away the day, but at the same time, we feel as though it has been overshadowed by the negative commentary around the wedding day and also the way that I look,” Chloe said.

AFL star Toby Pink issues firm warning to trolls attacking his wife: 'This behaviour needs to stop'

“Now that I look at our photos... all I think about them is ‘Oh, that one was used in that news article and that’s what this person said about this one’.”

“When you get married, post-wedding everyone is congratulating you, and you’re in a honeymoon love bubble. Whereas ours was, ‘Oh my God, I’m so, so sorry,’” she adds.

She added about her sports star husband: “He chose to love me. No one is going to want anyone speaking like that to their loved ones. He doesn’t want anything to do with you speaking to his wife like that.”

The loved-up pair grew up in the same country town together but started dating in 2017.

In April, the footy star issued a warning to trolls of his wife, saying in a message: “The trolling, bullying and harassment directed at my wife is frustrating and unacceptable.”

“I love her, she makes me happy and she means everything to me.”

“Commenting on any woman’s body is not okay.”

 “Enough is enough. This behaviour needs to stop.”
