Reality TV star Stacey Hampton says it is a daily struggle to make her children smile after the unexpected death of their bikie father.
Rebels boss Shane Smith was killed in a motorbike crash at Redwood Park just after 3am last Wednesday morning.
The Married At First Sight bride shared a heartfelt message on Instagram in the aftermath of her former fiance’s death.
Ms Hampton thanked those who had sent messages of support, saying she had “seen it all” and appreciated “every single of you”.
“Unfortunately, with life, it goes on,” she wrote.
“The boys need to try and love a normal life considering and I’m trying my hardest to make sure they smile.
“It’s waking up everyday knowing they are hurting, that hurts the most.
“It doesn’t matter what anyone says, a child who is 7 and 5 should never lose a father.”
Mr Smith, a 38-year-old father-of-four, was dad to Ms Hampton’s two young sons.
He also left behind a newborn baby which his current partner called “their greatest achievement”.
Donna Baldino last week told The Advertiser she was heartbroken over his death just weeks after they celebrated the arrival of their baby boy Roc.
“A beautiful, loving, supportive partner and loving father to five beautiful children (including his stepdaughter Ivy),” she said.
In her post, Ms Hampton, who appeared on the popular reality TV show in 2020, wrote “the media use my name, as they do to push articles”.
“It’s not about me or anyone else, it’s about these innocent children,” she wrote.
“Always has been and always will be.”
Ms Hampton who also lost her brother in a motorcycle crash in 2015, told Nine News that the bikie boss was an “amazing father”.
“He is now at peace with his brother, mother and friends,” she said.
“He was an amazing father. He adored his children and his parents.
“Our hearts are broken, and our lives will never be the same. He had a heart of gold and adored his family and friends.”
