AFL star Toby Pink and his wife Chloe Pink have revealed they have endured an unsuccessful embryo transfer in a heartbreaking update to the couple’s high-profile IVF journey.
The couple revealed on Sunday that they had undergone an embryo transfer, and were pictured celebrating with a box of French fries as part of an internet IVF tradition.
However, in a tragic update posted to social media on Wednesday, the couple revealed the embryo did not stick during the transfer.
“Obviously, this has been incredibly disheartening and heartbreaking, but unfortunately, it’s also the reality of this journey,” the couple said.
“Right now, we’re not entirely sure what our next steps look like. . Whether we go straight into another transfer or take some time off to give ourselves a break, we’re just taking things as they come.

“We’re so grateful for everyone’s excitement, hopefulness and ongoing support.”
Chloe also addressed why the couple have chosen to so publicly document their fertility journey.
“I know some people might think we’re oversharing, but at the end of the day, infertility is something so many people experience, yet it’s still something that isn’t spoken about enough,” she said.
“If sharing our journey helps make infertility even slightly less taboo, or makes just one person going through it feel a little less alone, then i’ll continue to share the good, the bad and everything in between.”
The couple’s followers flooded the comments section with messages of support, including well wishes from their high-profile friends.
“Sending you so so so much love darling girl ❤️ thinking of you ❤️,” fitness influencer and business owner Laura Henshaw said.
“Nothing but so much love sent to you both❤️❤️,” Grace Parish, wife of Essendon Bombers player Darcy Parish, said.
“Sending you both so much love. Thank you for allowing us into this delicate space,” Sophie Cachia said.
Chloe and Toby, who plays for the North Melbourne Kangaroos, were married in 2025.
