The sad news comes six months after the couple had announced that they were having fertility treatment in order to try for a baby.
In the meantime, the singer had said they were getting plenty of practice at being parents as they had opened up their home to children in need.

The couple had become foster parents, taking in 12 children so far – ranging in ages from newborns to teenagers.
