Ray Quinn and his wife, Emily, have announced that their son Rio was stillborn on August 20, 2026. The singer and actor shared the news in an Instagram post, describing Rio as their “beautiful boy” and saying the family had been dealing with the loss in recent weeks. The couple’s announcement included a photograph of Ray and Emily with Rio in hospital. Quinn thanked staff at Liverpool Women’s Hospital and the Honeysuckle Bereavement Service, saying their support helped the family create lasting memories with their son. He also said the couple had received more help than they expected. Quinn said he and Emily had discussed their loss in a video on their YouTube channel, The Quinns. He described making the episode as difficult and said they hoped speaking publicly would help others facing a similar situation.
