Towie’s Jordan Brook says ‘it’s not easy’ as he thanks fans for support amid fertility struggle with Sophie Kasaei
TOWIE star Jordan Brook has thanked fans for their support after opening up about his fertility struggle with Sophie Kasaei on the ITVBe show.
During Sunday night's episode, the 28-year-old was reduced to tears as he opened up about the couple's devastating baby news.
Jordan opened up to Towie co-star Elma Pazar and told her that they thought she was pregnant weeks before filming.
The reality star took to Instagram last night to express his gratitude to everyone who has reached out to him.
Jordan said: "I just want to say thank you so much for all of your kind words and support over last night and today.
"This is one of life's many obstacles and journeys that is currently upon me and my beautiful @sophiekasaei.

"It's not been easy and continues to be difficult.
"But we remain positive as I would encourage everybody else in our position.
"Keep smiling and keep going.
"Everybody who has reached out I truly truly mean it thank you.
"And a massive thank you to @elmapazar for helping me attempt to hold it all together and get my words out, you are a true friend.
"Me and Sophie love you!
"JB x."
Fighting back tears, he explained: "Two weeks before we came out here we thought she was pregnant again.
"It is f****** hard man."
He added: "It's just my next step in life, to be a dad."
As Jordan started to cry Elma rushed to reassure him, saying: "It'll happen when it'll happen.
"I know that's so hard to hear, that's all you want, but you have forgotten the sole reason you are together.
"It isn't to have a baby together it's for each other."
The pair have been very open with their struggles in the past.
Back in September last year, Jordan revealed that Sophie was undergoing fertility tests as they explored becoming parents.
They revealed their struggles a year after Sophie revealed she was going to have endometriosis surgery.
Sophie, who rose to fame on MTV's Geordie Shore, was diagnosed with the chronic condition in 2020.
Endometriosis is when when tissue which is similar to the lining of the womb is found outside of the womb, which can sometimes cause damage to the Fallopian tubes or ovaries, leading to fertility problems.

Jordan and Sophie first started dating in November 2022, but went public just before Christmas that year.
Sophie moved down south last year and they moved into their dream home in Essex.
What are the symptoms of Endometriosis?
Symptoms of endometriosis can vary, but the most common include painful or heavy periods, pain during and following sex, bleeding between periods, pain in the lower abdomen and difficulty conceiving.
Endometriosis can also cause sufferers to be constantly tired, and experience discomfort when using the toilet.
As outlined by Endometriosis UK, other key symptoms include: bleeding from the bowel, pain while urinating as well as back and leg pain.
Endometriosis can occasionally be diagnosed with ultrasounds scans - but keyhole surgery is the most common form of diagnosis.
