Some of Jack’s reality star pals commented to share their condolences. TOWIE’s Chloe Sims wrote: ‘so sorry for your sad news Jack, sending you lots of love’.
TOWIE’s Mario Falcone added: ‘Hope you are ok my brother’, while Jack’s Love Island co-star Ellie Brown commented: ‘Sending you lots of love’.
Earlier this year, Jack announced the surprise birth of his daughter, Blossom, with long-term friend Casey Ranger.
The reality star admitted their relationship is strictly platonic as they ‘figure out’ co-parenting their little girl, adding that he plans to focus all his time on being the best father he possibly can.
Since welcoming his daughter last month, Jack said he’s embraced fatherhood and he’s sworn off women so he can focus on dating Blossom.
The single star – who split from Dani Dyer 10 months ago – ruled out any possibility of a romance with his pal Casey Ranger in their first joint interview since welcoming their baby daughter.
Jack and Dani split in April 2019 after they were crowned Love Island champions in 2018, and she admitted in a Radio 2 Interview the first she learned of Jack’s baby news was following his Instagram post.
The former pens salesman also said that when he first learned Casey was pregnant he was terrified, but eventually came to terms with becoming a dad after breaking the news to his mum.
Jack added while he still wants to enjoy going out like any other man in his 20s, he’s well aware that Blossom’s needs come first and he wants to be there to support her in every step of her life.
