The Block foreman Dan Reilly and his wife Dani have tragically shared the news that their newborn baby has passed away.
Dan and Dani confirmed the devastating news in a joint Instagram post and shared that Billie Vera Reilly was just 10 days old when she passed.
“Billie Vera Reilly 8/12/24 – 18/12/24,” Dani began.
“It is with insurmountable grief that we share the news that our daughter, Billie, has passed on from this life and into the next at just 10 days young.”
“In Billie’s short time in this world, she taught us an intensity of both love and pain we never knew possible. She taught us what really matters. Billie was so wanted, so loved and she made us parents… and what an honour it is to be her mummy and daddy. She will always be our daughter,” Dani continued,
“It’s clear to us that Billie was far too good for this world but if we know anything for sure, it’s that Billie’s legacy will make an impact greater than all of us.”
Dani went on to ask fans to give the couple privacy during the troubling time.
“We understand there will be questions, and so many of the answers we just don’t have yet. We’ll share more in time but for now we ask for privacy as we work through this together and with our loved ones.”
Dan and Dani have asked for donations to The Royal Women’s hospital
The former The Block contestants have asked fans to consider donating to the hospital that helped them through their ordeal.
“We want to make special mention of “Billie’s Besties” at @theroyalwomens – the nurses, doctors & staff in NICU are some of the most incredible people to walk this earth and we’ll be forever grateful for the care and love they gave our girl, and us,” Dani wrote in the Instagram post
“If you’re in a position to, you can make a donation in Billie’s honor to The Royal Women’s Hospital via the below link.”
