Ex on the Beach's Pala Negara Reveals Newborn Son Died Hours After Birth

Pala Negara has announced the tragic death of her newborn son. "Creating life with the love of my life has been the most profound healing journey I could have never imagined being written into our journey," the model wrote via Instagram on Sunday, September 6. "Growing life for nearly 10 months, growing our family, falling so deeply in love in a union that was always destined to be, falling in love with the life we have created for our family, birthing life, and then birthing death has been incomprehensible." The former Ex on the Beach star added that her "body feels broken" and "aches" for her baby with partner Chris Hunter. "I don't think we will ever know how to move through this heartbreak," she wrote. "Our little boy, Harmony Hunter, due 8.8, born 28 August 2026 at 4:27 a.m. at 42 weeks and 5 days in the most powerful birth of our lives, passing peacefully in our arms at 8 p.m. that night." Negara then thanked her friends for their support, as well as hospital staff. "Our hearts sit in deep gratitude to our friends who have loved and cared for us this past week, to our community, to Lismore Hospital who worked tirelessly to save Harmony and treat me for Post Partum Hemorrhage, the Neo Resc team who flew to us and continued to spend hours trying to save our little boy, and to Gold Coast University Hospital who held us so deeply as we spent three nights and four days in Comfort Care as a family," she wrote. Negara concluded, "We will soon lay our angel to rest on Bundjalung Country where he was born, the land that has held my family and continues to hold our family. We know you will return to us again, old soul, we can feel you surrounding us, our Angel 🤍." The post included photos and videos from a picnic maternity shoot featuring the couple's dog and their two older toddlers. Negara also included photos from the hospital, where they mourned their son's death. Hunter also paid tribute to their late son via his Instagram Story. "The most perfect son a dad could ever ask for. I know you will return to us," he wrote.
