Going makeup-free, she had her blonde tresses in loose waves hanging down her shoulders, while being honest and forthright in her caption.
In September 2021 Rhian revealed her fourth round of IVF had failed and admitted at the time she was struggling to put on a “brave face”. It is not known if she has since attempted a fifth round.
The beauty showed her vulnerable side as she spoke candidly about how she was feeling down on Instagram amid her challenging fertility journey.
And Rhian shared a glamorous photo in lingerie and gave an update: “I’m feeling blue [blue heart emoji]. Had a tough few weeks…
“For those who have been following my journey… IVF round 4 failed ❤️but it is now time for me to pick myself up and move on!
“Being in the public eye and trying to put on a brave face is harder than it looks, but I’ve done it many times and I will do it again.
“It’s time to put on my best underwear, get back to normal and get back behind the camera and do what makes me happy! Kudos to my support network. You are the best! ❤️ #ivfwarrior [pineapple emoji].’ [sic]
In April 2019, Rhian discussed her plans for IVF after being told she had an egg count of “a woman over 45”, but added that the procedure only had a “two percent” success rate.

Honest: She announced her decision to begin the in vitro fertilization process in 2019 after being told by doctors that she has an egg count from someone at least 13 years older
Anticipation: In October 2020, Rhian announced in a candid Instagram post that her third round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was “coming up.”
Rhian explained: “I’ve been told that I might never be a mother – and I’m heartbroken.
“Doctors said I have a woman’s egg count over 45, which means I’m unlikely to ever get pregnant naturally.
“It also means that the chance of getting pregnant through IVF has dropped from 30 percent to 2 percent – which was pretty devastating to hear.”
In vitro fertilization, known as IVF, is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already fertilized egg placed in her uterus to become pregnant.
It is used when couples are unable to conceive naturally and a sperm and egg are removed from their bodies and combined in a laboratory before the embryo is placed in the woman.
Once the embryo is in the womb, the pregnancy should proceed normally.
The procedure can be performed using eggs and sperm from a couple or from donors.
