Love Island's Erin Barnett responds to Eden Dally's comments about her fertility struggles

"If someone says they can't have children, don't ask why." - by Madi Spira
  • 20 Aug 2019

Erin Barnett has responded to her ex-boyfriend Eden Dally's comments about her struggles with fertility. After reading that the Love Island star had said, "Erin had something wrong with her ovaries," she hit back on Instagram, revealing she found his comments insensitive and uncalled for.

"If a man or woman says they can't have children, don't ask why, or worse, ask what's wrong," said the reality TV star who met Eden on Love Island Australia in 2018. "The implication that you're somehow broken is upsetting. Just accept it and move on. Not everyone's life goal is to have a baby and if someone is infertile, people questioning it really doesn't help. The questions can actually make us feel bad. There will probably always be a small part of me that feels a little sad that it's (birth) an experience I'll never get to have."

The former Beauty And The Geek Australia star continued: "I have undergone countless surgeries, countless treatments to try and resolve the issues, I shouldn't actually have to explain all of this to people but I'm choosing to because I feel blessed to have a large social platform that I can use to start a conversation about these situations."

"The next time someone tells you they can't have children, please don't question it, please don't force them to explain why and please don't try and offer helpful advice. Just accept what the person says and move on." 

The popular TV star went on to speak about her partner Michael Russel, 43, who she moved in with in June. 

"I still consider myself very lucky. I met Michael a single dad, so I'm stepmother to three wonderful children," she said.

My nanna told me to "stop being silly" when I told her I'm putting my life on hold to give my everything to her. She keeps on saying to me "you've got a life to live too!" ⁣ ⁣ I keep telling her she is my life & i would do anything and everything for her. ⁣ ⁣ While going through 1000 different emotions this week, I've decided to get back on the horse called life & continue on with it. ⁣ My nanna keeps saying that life is stopping for her but not for me. ⁣ ⁣ I swear to god she is the strongest woman i know, if I end up being half the women she is.... I'll be set for life. ⁣ ⁣ So... moving forward, I have such a different outlook on life. I have re-evaluated my life & wow.... I have wasted so much time on things that don't matter & people that don't matter. ⁣ ⁣ I don't want to keep saying I've "wasted" time on things that don't matter from now on. ⁣ ⁣ I just asked my nanna if she has any regrets in her life while I hold her hand, and she said ⁣ "I regret not getting my license". 😂Now... to be at the end of your life to only regret not driving, I mean... that's amazing. ⁣ ⁣ I'm not at the end of my life yet and I have over 100 regrets that are WAY worse than not having a licence. ⁣ ⁣ That alone made me realise I need to start really taking in the saying ⁣ "live with no regrets" ⁣ ⁣ My attitude towards life has changed & I realised I probably need to be a lot more open minded towards "different" things in life & try everything at least once. ⁣ ⁣ Moral of this story is: ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Live a life for yourself & always be kind to others ❤️⁣ ⁣ #familyiseverything #loveislove

Yesterday, Eden and Married At First Sight's Cyrell Paule announced they were expecting their first child together. Chatting about the baby on the way, the couple discussed how their exes Erin and Nic Jovanovic would react to the news.

"The ironic thing is, which is unfortunate, they both struggle with having children," Eden said. "Erin had something wrong with her ovaries. It is an unfortunate situation. I’ve moved on big time and Cyrell has moved on, and I hope they’ve moved on. As you know, my break-up was a pretty bad one. I had a lot of lies made up about me," Eden added.

While Cyrell added, "Nick had testicular cancer and he’s got to do IVF."

Since their pregnancy announcement made headlines, it's been overshadowed by claims she and Eden are faking the news in exchange for cash. 

After sharing photos from her exclusive pregnancy shoot with New Idea, one nasty Instagram user said their "fake child" will be born to "two desperate people who can't stay in the spotlight expect when making fools of themselves." 

Not one to hold back when it comes to making her point, the fiery MAFS star hit back: "I'd donate to u getting some common sense but clearly no money could buy that."

Another sassy Instagrammer also took a swipe at Cyclone Cyrell, telling the controversial reality TV star— who endured an ill-fated on-screen marriage to Nic Jovanovic— that "it's time to grow up now. You're the one captioning the best news of your life as an article headline."

After the comment racked up 123 likes, she responded to the user— whose bio says she's "raising 2 babies"—writing: "I hope when u had ur two babies then no one called ur relationship a publicity stunt n told u to grow up like u weren't worthy to be a mother. Being a mother of two I would've expected better. Guess A LOT of people need growing up," she wrote, adding a kiss face emoji. 

The day after their 12 week scan, Cyrell and Eden, who've been dating for a little over four months, revealed to New Idea that they were expecting their first child together. Although their little one is due in February, the happy couple said the pregnancy wasn't planned. 

"I’ll be honest, it was 
not planned. I was freaked out thinking about Eden’s reaction," Cyrell confessed. "I’ve got nothing against it, but for me, I don’t have the strength to have an abortion. So I knew, then, I’m having a baby!"

Cyrell decided to text the news to Eden.

When u get paid 2k to have a baby 🤣

He shared, "I was on my phone and I got this text. She said, 'Eden, I’m pregnant, and I’m like, “What?”

"I didn’t know what to feel. I was a bit in shock and took a while to process it. Then we spoke and I said, 'Whatever you want to do, I’ll support you and be there for the child.'"

He added, "
It wasn’t expected. But it’s happening, I’m excited and I can’t wait to have this little baby."

When asked how their families’ reacted to the news, Cyrell said her brother Ivan was taken aback. 

"My brother Ivan was shocked. But out of all my boyfriends, weirdly enough, he really likes Eden! They get along. So, they just ended up shaking hands. When I did tell Ivan, he said: “You’re a grown woman and Eden is a good guy.”

"Everyone was just in shock," Eden added. "My old man always says your first child is a really special feeling. My mum was excited too. At first it was a shock but now everyone is on board.
