A couple who first met as "miracle" babies in hospital stayed in touch and now have a child of their own.
Jack Richardson and Bronwyn Tacey were both born prematurely at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham in 1994. Their families became friends during their time on the neonatal ward and remained close in the years after. Jack and Bronwyn drifted apart in their teens and early twenties but went on a few dates and realised they were “right for each other” aged 27.

Bronwyn said: “I was in hospital for fourteen weeks before I came home. Jack was in intensive care. He was there for a year with numerous hospital appointments. It was touch and go whether we would both make it. It’s a complete miracle that we are both here.
"It’s a great partnership. We’re like best friends as well as partners. We just get each other, finish each other’s sentences. We know what each other is thinking before we say it.”
