Nathan Warnecke confirmed the sad news Sunday (October 19).
“Its with heavy heart that i share with you the unexpected passing of my beautiful wife, soul mate and best friend, Stacey Warnecke (Hatfield),” he began, captioning a post that reads “In loving memory Stacey Jade Warnecke 1995-2025.”
“Stace passed on the 29th September 2025 after successfully giving birth to our firstborn son, Axel, at home. Tragically, shortly after, an unforeseen and extremely rare complication arose and she passed after being transferred to hospital. Hospital staff were amazing and did the utmost to help, but ultimately nothing could be done despite their best efforts,” he wrote.
“I knew Stace for 9 amazing years, she was the light of my life and the reason i got up in the morning. Words can’t do justice to how devastating this is for myself and everyone that knew and loved her. She was my lighthouse in the storm and the world is less bright without her in it. As her husband, i couldn’t ask for a better partner. She was the most beautiful, loving, caring, hardworking, disciplined, intelligent and trustworthy human being i’ve ever known. She made me the man i am today and everything i have in life is all thanks to her. The happiest day of my life was getting to marry her, my best friend, on a white sand beach in the Maldives.”
“Stacey was a child of the universe, one that loved above all else to live a simple, stress free life. She was most at home in nature, surrounded by trees and sand at her feet. She lived her whole life with an appreciation for everything she had and cared not for materialistic possessions. Her favourite pastime was reading a book with a mug of green tea and our French Bulldog, Winter, by her side,” he continued.
A GoFundMe page has been created to support her husband and new baby boy.
“Nathan is a professional Surveyor and works in the field in establishment of new roads and freeways, often working the nightshift. The ability for Nathan to return to work in this capacity as a single father and the sole care giver to Axel is currently unrealistic. When he may be able to return to work is unknown. Every dollar raised will give Nathan the time and space that he needs to begin the long road to healing and ensure that Axel is surrounded by the love and support he needs and that Stacey would have wished for,” the page reads, also noting that her death tragically came two months before the couple’s first wedding anniversary.
Our thoughts are with Stacey Hatfield‘s loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. We have sadly lost several stars in 2025.
