Ex on the Beach’s Pala Negara Shares Heartbreaking News of Son’s Death Shortly After Birth
Pala Negara has shared the heartbreaking news of her newborn son’s passing.
“Bringing life into the world with the love of my life has been an incredible healing journey I could never have anticipated as part of our story,” the model expressed on Instagram on Sunday, September 6. “Nurturing life for almost 10 months, expanding our family, falling deeply in love within a connection that was always meant to be, adoring the life we have created together, welcoming life, and then facing the reality of death has been unimaginable.”
The former Ex on the Beach star shared that her “body feels shattered” and “longs” for her baby, whom she shared with partner Chris Hunter.
“I don’t believe we will ever know how to navigate this sorrow,” she reflected. “Our little boy, Harmony Hunter, was due on 8.8, born on August 28, 2026, at 4:27 a.m., at 42 weeks and 5 days, experiencing the most powerful birth of our lives, passing peacefully in our arms at 8 p.m. that night.”
Negara expressed her gratitude towards her friends for their support, as well as the hospital staff.
“Our hearts are filled with deep appreciation for our friends who have shown love and care for us this past week, for our community, the staff at Lismore Hospital who worked tirelessly to save Harmony and treated me for Post Partum Hemorrhage, the Neo Resc team who flew in and spent hours trying to save our little boy, and to Gold Coast University Hospital who embraced us during our three nights and four days in Comfort Care as a family,” she wrote.
Negara concluded, “We will soon lay our angel to rest on Bundjalung Country, the land of his birth, which has nurtured my family and continues to do so. We sense you will return to us, old soul; we feel your presence surrounding us, our Angel 🤍.”
The post featured photos and videos from a picnic maternity shoot with the couple’s dog and their two older children. Negara also shared pictures from the hospital, where they mourned their son.
Hunter also honored their late son through his Instagram Story.
“The most perfect son a dad could ever wish for. I know you will come back to us,” he expressed.
Negara, a Balinese Australian model residing in Byron Bay, Australia, appeared on MTV’s Ex on the Beach Couples: Now or Never in 2023.
