The soap star and husband Carl have been trying to start a family since last July
HOLLYOAKS actor Kieron Richardson has opened up about his IVF heartbreak.
The 30-year-old soap star and husband Carl Hyland have revealed they’ve had four failed attempts at starting a family with a surrogate mother over the past 14 months.
Kieron told : “We were hoping to have a baby this year.
“Unfortunately, like anyone who is trying for a baby through IVF – whether they are gay couples or not – it is a lottery.
“The statistics when we first started it were a 70% success rate.
“We have tried it four times, with the same surrogate mum, and we have fallen into that 30% bracket of it not working.
“But we have not given up the fight and are still continuing. We are going to keep trying until it is successful.”
