How to watch England star Missy Bo Kearns speak abut her miscarriage, who is her partner Liam Walsh?

Aston Villa and England midfielder Missy Bo Kearns has opened up for the first time about her miscarriage.

After leaving Liverpool Missy Bo Kearns signed a three-year deal with Aston Villa in August 2024. At the time Matt Beard, the Liverpool manager said: "We respect Missy Bo's decision and she departs with our very best wishes and I'm sure those of our fans.

"She has worn the shirt with the pride of a local girl and I have enjoyed my time working with her over so many years."

Following Matt Beard’s death in September last year, Missy Bo Kearns took to Instagram and wrote: “RIP Matt,

“I Can’t believe am writing this am devastated, you believed in me from day one and we got on like a house on fire.

“Am grateful for all the opportunities you gave me like making me the youngest women’s captain for my home town club, giving me opportunities to play for the club week in week out. Winning silverware together and all my individual success I wouldn’t have achieved without your backing.

“All the memories we have I’ll never forget especially the one where I lost a bet and you made me train in your kit.

“Even when I left you still backed me and believed I was gonna achieve what I’ve always wanted and I’ll continue to do that.

“You was one of a kind and and I know you will be watching only fools and horses up there “Delboy”.

“I’ll be there for the family and the kids always ❤️ lots of love Missy Bo “Headache” xxx”

Missy Bo Kearns has now opened up to ITV for the first time about her miscarriage and in March was advised by the club doctor, Jodie Blackadder-Weinstein to call her partner and go straight to the hospital. Missy Bo Kearns said: “I was 42 degrees, but I was shaking. And the doctor said to me, ‘Where's Liam?’ And I was like, ‘I'm not going back to the hospital. I literally went a few days ago. Everything's fine. They told me everything's fine.’ And she said, ‘Ring Liam.’ And I was like, ‘He's had a night game. He's in bed still.'"

“But I rang him, and he came. We went to the hospital, and that's when we found out that straight away, we had lost the baby and that I'd got sepsis.”

“So, it was difficult, like it was a shock, because I'd literally been doing Pilates and gym an hour before, and my whole life just changed like that.”

Missy also said: “We had to go through like, three, four days of hell in hospital, the two of us, up in Birmingham. I don't think we realised how much we went through until now, when you sit back.

“I'm so thankful for the doctors here at Villa, because if I was at home that day, and I probably would have rung, my mum saying, ‘Oh, I feel a bit like flu-ish symptoms’, everyone would just say, ‘Have a sleep’ or whatnot.

"And Jodie made me go to the hospital, and I was not wanting to go, because there's nothing worse than obviously going to a hospital.

"But they probably saved my life because I had sepsis, and while having that, I wasn't even thinking about the sepsis. It was ‘I've lost my child’.”

Missy Bo Kearns’s partner is Liam Walsh who plays for Luton Town. In August last year, she shared a photo of them together on Instagram and wrote: “Coldplay Our First Ever Date… To 3 Years Later 🫶🏼.”
