(Read) After giving birth to her son at home due to a rare issue, an Australian culinary influencer passes away.

 

Stacey Hatfield, an Australian wellness influencer who advocated natural foods and toxin-free living on her platform Natural Spoonfuls, passed very soon after giving birth to her son.



On Sunday, October 19, her husband, Nathan Warnecke, posted the tragic news on Instagram, stating that Stacey died on September 29, 2025, after giving birth to their first child, Axel, at home.

Nathan stated, "With great sadness, I announce the untimely death of my lovely wife, soulmate, and closest friend, Stacey Warnecke (Hatfield)."



He claims that although Stacey gave birth at home with success, she soon experienced an unexpected and uncommon condition. Despite the greatest efforts of the medics, she did not survive after being taken to the hospital.

Words couldn't express how deeply Nathan felt about his late wife, whom he called "the light of my life and the reason I got up in the morning."



He stated, "The world is less bright without her in it, and she was my lighthouse in the storm."
"She was the most stunning, kind, considerate, diligent, disciplined, wise, and reliable person I have ever met."

In addition, the distraught spouse revealed that Stacey started Natural Spoonfuls in 2019 and later started Waffl, a social media content firm.



Being a mother was her greatest life goal. Nathan said, "She did it—on her terms, just the way she always dreamed."
When Axel was born, she held him, nursed him, recognized that he was a boy, and showed him affection. She was and is still much in love with him.
