Australian food influencer Stacey Hatfield has died due to “an unforeseen and extremely rare complication” after she delivered her first child during a home birth, her grieving husband said Monday.
She was 30.
“Stace passed on the 29th September 2025 after successfully giving birth to our firstborn son, Axel, at home,” said spouse Nathan Warnecke in an emotional social media post.


“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.”
Hatfield rose to prominence after she launched her business Natural Spoonfuls, which is committed to embracing wholefoods and reducing chemicals in recipes.
“It was her life’s biggest dream to be a mum,” her husband added. “She did it. On her terms, exactly the way she always dreamed of doing it.”
