A week after Shane’s death, Stacey took to Instagram to share a statement.
“Unfortunately, with life, it goes on. The boys need to try and live a normal life considering and I’m trying my hardest to make sure they smile,”she began in the post.
“It’s waking up everyday knowing they are hurting, that hurts the most. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, a child who is 7 and 5 should never lose a father. We are doing our best to live normal lives.
“The media use my name, as they do, to push articles. It’s not about me or anyone else, it’s about those innocent children. Always has been and always will be.
“Is it hard? Absolutely. My heart breaks for them.”
Sadly, MAFS fans will remember Hampton’s emotional journey on the show. She lost her older brother Jaimie in a motorcycle accident on the day she had been due to give birth. Her father took his own life when she was a baby.
