Not the first child: What happened to Tiffany Meek's newborn baby?
Tiffany Meek – the mother of Jayden-Lee Meek – lost her first child, a newborn baby boy, years before he was conceived.
The circumstances of the infant's death have resurfaced amid her charges of murder, defeating the ends of justice and crimen injuria.
Jayden-Lee's body was discovered just metres away from his doorstep on the morning of 14 May. He had suffered a blunt force head injury.
In a TikTok video posted earlier this year, Tiffany Meek paid tribute to her firstborn son, Kaiyle Levi Dunn, who was born on 10 August 2012. Sadly, the baby boy died just two days later.
'Gone, but not forgotten', she captioned the clip.
According to an affidavit, Tiffany gave birth to the baby when she was 18 years old. It's unclear what the infant's cause of death is. @tiffs_dunn One Sweet Day indeed. #foreverinmyheart👼💔 ♬ One Sweet Day – Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men
Sometime later, Tiffany met and married Leandro Meek, and the couple welcomed Jayden-Lee in 2014.
According to her statement, she has been separated from her husband since 2022. She is now in a relationship with another man.
Following Jayden-Lee's death, Tiffany Meek and a group of family and friends held a memorial service, where they released balloons into the sky in memory of him.
Holding on to her balloon a little longer, she could be heard saying a clip posted on social media: 'I know you're dancing with your brother. And watching over us every day because that is the type of child that you are'.
She added: 'I'll miss you'. @renew_u #justiceforjayden ♬ original sound – ReneW🏳️🌈🌈🇿🇦
