‘Last night we lost our baby girl,’ the 34-year-old musical artist said with a shot of her and her husband holding the tot’s hand.

Costabile, 33, added on social media, ‘It’s been a rough couple weeks and we’re so grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers from you all.’
The Jar of Hearts singer announced earlier in November that her unborn baby would have to undergo an immediate operation after she was born amid issues with her intestines.
Perri, who shares a two-year-old daughter named Carmella with Costabile, asked her fans November 11, ‘Please send some love from your heart to the little heart beating in me that we all make it through this.’
Perri said November 14, ‘The baby right now is scheduled to have an operation when they arrive. We’ll spend some time in the hospital. We’re going to prepare for [a newborn intensive care unit], but anything could happen.’

She added, ‘I guess the biggest thing is we hope the baby stays inside and can get as big as possible before this big event they have to go through. It’s just a couple more weeks, so I’m gonna try to take it easy and hope for the best.’
Perri earlier this year opened up about a miscarriage she had in an effort to ‘help change the story [and] stigma around miscarriage, secrecy and shame’ on the issue.
‘I am ever reminded how amazing and powerful women are at making life and at healing,’ she said. ‘To all the mothers who have been here and who will be here, I see you and I love you.’
Perri and Costabile have been married since December 2017.
