DJ Fisher’s wife Chloe has opened up about the extremely challenging fertility journey the couple went through before welcoming their daughter Bobbi Maree last year.
Chloe, 32, revealed she had several miscarriages before her successful pregnancy and said she can find it ‘triggering’ to discuss her pregnancy journey with fans.
‘It’s often quite tough conversations with my fans who come up and want to speak to me,’ Chloe told Stellar magazine.
‘Quite often I will be in nightclubs. It’s actually really challenging for me because when I was going through my [four] back-to-back miscarriages and fertility issues.’
Chloe added she appreciated fans wanting to share their own fertility stories with her but said the experience could bring up some painful memories.
‘People see me out in public and are like, “Oh my God, I’m going through this”, and they give you their whole story,’ she said.

‘At times it can be extremely triggering. Before I had Bobbi and when I didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
‘I hate saying this, but trauma dumping… It’s hard because you want to support them [but] you are trying to protect yourself.’
She added her own story, in which she successfully gave birth to a healthy daughter after years of trying, could be used to inspire others going through the same thing.
‘If anything, my story can give people hope because in those trenches you do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn’t,’ Chloe said.
‘If I’m giving anything back to people, hopefully I can just be a little bit of hope to keep going.’
In August, DJ Fisher and Chloe shared the traumatic details of her 15-hour labour after giving birth to their first child.
The couple welcomed their daughter Bobbi Maree on June 20, and later opened up about her difficult birth which saw Chloe spend the night in the ICU.
The model was in labour for more than 15 hours and was forced to spend her first night as a mother alone in the ICU without her family and friends.

Chloe was induced to give birth at 29 weeks pregnant because the baby ‘was big’ and has now described it as the ‘scariest’ moment of her life.
‘That was pretty sad and emotional and so frightening,’ she told listeners of her DarlingShine! podcast.
‘It left me physically weak and completely shaken. The trauma of that and leaving Paul [Fisher] very much lingers.’
After the assisted birth, Chloe told how she was left feeling ‘spacey’ and ended up back in the hospital theatre after holding her daughter for no longer than an hour.
‘It was a massive reminder of the fragility of life,’ she said.
‘You can go from the most incredible moment of your life to the scariest moment in the blink of an eye.’
The couple had been trying to conceive for almost five years with multiple rounds of IVF and Chloe suffering multiple miscarriages in that time.
