TVNZ presenter Hayley Holt and her partner have announced they are pregnant again.
She shared with Woman’s Day she is expecting a little boy due in May.
“I still can’t believe Raven will be getting a little brother,” Holt told Woman’s Day.
“Because of my age I was pretty sure we would just have Raven, so for this to happen feels really special and amazing, I feel incredibly blessed.”
Holt, 43, and her partner Josh Tito already have a son, Raven, who was born in July 2022.
“Mummy and Daddy love you to the stars and back,” Holt wrote when announcing her son’s birth.
When celebrating his birthday last year, Holt thanked her son “for choosing us”.
“I love you Raven,” Holt wrote on social media.
She has been open about her journey with pregnancies, having sadly suffered a miscarriage and a stillbirth in the past four years.
In April 2020, Holt lost her little boy Frankie Tai, who was stillborn when she was six months through her pregnancy. The news was shared by her TVNZ Breakfast co-hosts and a collective sense of mourning was felt by Kiwis for the presenter.
“I felt like, after losing Frankie, our first son, in talking to people - and all of the people who came forward and wanted to let me know their story - I found out so many people had gone through stillbirth, miscarriages, any sort of loss around a baby. And nobody talks about it,” Holt told the One Day You’ll Thank Me podcast.
As what would have been her son’s first birthday neared, Holt, pregnant for a second time, miscarried at 10 weeks. But unlike the loss of her first baby, this grief was private, shared only with those closest to the couple.
Nearly four years on from the toughest time in her life, Holt said she cannot believe where is now.
“I wasn’t sure we’d ever get our happy family, but now we’ve been blessed once again,” Holt told Woman’s Day.
“We’ve got our happy family and more, I can’t wait to meet our new little boy.”
From where to get the best view to when the roads will close.
