Speaking on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast, Happy Mum Happy Baby, she explained what her struggle looked like.
Malin said: “Me feeling anxious, stressed, and crying randomly. Looking at Xaya, thinking oh my god she’s beautiful and she’s mine but oh my god she might die tomorrow. Am I doing this right?
“Where’s my mum? Grieving over my mum. Not wanting to go out, or not wanting anybody to meet her, didn’t want to see anyone.
“Wanting Jared to be with me all the time, becoming very co-dependant. ‘Where are you going, why are you going out, I don’t want to be on my own with Xaya’ Being too scared to be on my own, because I didn’t think I was capable enough to look after even though I was fully.

“Breastfeeding, and then it became too much for me. I did 8 or 9 days, and then I just decided to stop. There was a feeling of not being good enough because I didn’t breastfeed. There’s just so much involved in it, it was a collection of everything.”
Malin split from Jared just weeks after Xaya was born, but the pair have maintained a healthy relationship.
The Love Island star explained: “I have never discussed (my ex) or posted him on my socials, because he’s on private. And for Xaya, if we’ve ever had an argument or split up I will never bad mouth him because I would never want her to see that when she’s older.
“Because that’s where some people in the public eye go wrong, they’ll bash people and then it’s there forever (…) the internets a dangerous place. I very much love him and he loves me, and we were good friends for a long time and it just didn’t work out as a relationship.
“But, there’s no saying no to the future, because we get on now and things are going nicely.”
