Lisa Marie Akkaya Makes First Public Appearance Since Baby Xavi’s Death

Her remarks show how public grief tests trust.

Overview

At the Reality Awards in Bonn, she told Bild the loss still feels surreal and said she is not doing well.
She said she is in therapy and formal grief counseling and leans on her family to get through each day.
On Instagram, she disclosed that someone close mocked her appearance and spoke about her behind her back during her lowest point.
She and her husband, Furkan Akkaya, now live with their older son, Emilio, in Dortmund and do not plan a return to their former home in Dubai for now.
She is not considering another biological child right now because of fear and says adoption could be an option, while recalling that Xavi died at four months from sudden infant death.
