It was Mother’s Day when Sam Wood shared an Instagram post to break the news of his third daughter’s birth.

The love-filled post warmed fans’ hearts with pictures of Snezana cradling her baby.

But in the caption, the former Bachelor told the story of the complicated birth.

“30 minutes after this photo was taken. Snez became sick. Really sick and before we knew it Harper was off to the special care unit and Mum was into ICU,” explained Sam.

He continued on to gush over Snez’s strength when Harper was taken away for treatment, “Of course in true Snez Mum fashion her only thoughts were for her little baby, and it was breaking her heart that she couldn’t hold her.”

Sam commented highly on the staff at the hospital for their incredible work.

“After finding an infection that both Snez and Harper had picked up and some incredible care from the nurses and doctors, they were reunited yesterday and both doing well,” he wrote.

Sam and Snez were already parents to Willow, born in 2017, and Charlie in 2019.

The former reality star is also mum to Eve from a previous relationship, and Sam has an active role as her stepdad.

They confirmed their pregnancy news in November 2021 on Instagram when Snez posted two photos of her burgeoning bump.
