Australian golf icon Jason Day and his wife Ellie have taken to social media to share the tragic loss of their third child to miscarriage. 

The mother-of-two shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, captioning an image gallery of the family: 'I was devastated.' 

'Two and a half weeks went by with me battling my heart and brain about what was happening in my body, wondering why this wouldn't just be over.' 

The couple announced they were expecting their third child on November 4, and discovered they'd lost the baby on November 23. 

'Initially, I felt complete despair. And then I saw the baby. Fully intact,' her post continued. 'Tiny, perfect head and face and arms and legs.'
