Meghan Markle's Friend Expecting Baby Boy After Tragic Loss

In November 2025, Meghan Markle's longtime friend, Kelly McKee Zajfen, announced she is expecting a baby boy. The 44-year-old co-founder of the Alliance of Moms, who has been friends with the Duchess of Sussex for over 20 years, revealed the exciting news on Instagram.

Zajfen's announcement comes three years after the tragic loss of her 9-year-old son, George, who passed away from COVID-19 and viral meningitis. During this difficult time, Markle and Prince Harry showed their support by donating $5,000 to a GoFundMe set up in George's honor.

In the years since George's death, Meghan and Harry have continued to be a "guiding light" for Zajfen and her family, attending several charity events and initiatives in memory of the young boy. The Duchess has also praised Zajfen's strength and resilience, describing her as a "nurturing" and "loving" friend.

Now, as Zajfen prepares to welcome a new addition to her family, she is filled with a sense of hope and gratitude. "Sometimes... just sometimes... when you let light in through the broken pieces of your heart, love grows," she wrote in her announcement. "This little soul is already so loved, a reminder that joy and grief can exist together... and that hope has a way of finding us again."
