Russell Howard Announces as Baby Son Died 'Shortly After Birth'

Howard said hospital staff showed extraordinary compassion and that he is creating a foundation to support families affected by baby loss.

  • On Friday, comedian Russell Howard announced that his son Felix died shortly after birth earlier this year, a loss he and wife Cerys Morgan had kept private until now.
  • Howard expressed deep gratitude for hospital staff's "extraordinary compassion," particularly praising bereavement midwife Lauren, who had experienced similar tragedy and retrained to help grieving families.
  • In Felix's memory, the couple established The Felix Foundation to relieve needs of families affected by miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, and neonatal death through midwife training and emotional support resources.
  • Howard will host a charity gala at London's O2 Arena on February 8, 2027, featuring comedians Jimmy Carr, Greg Davies, and John Bishop performing free to raise foundation funds.
  • Tickets for the gala go on sale Thursday, September 10, as Howard hopes The Felix Foundation's legacy will bring kindness and support to families facing similar devastating loss.
