Renee Wright has revealed all about her "tumultuous" year that includes a temporary separation from her husband and an unplanned pregnancy.

The TV One weekend weather presenter tells Woman's Weekly she, 35, and her husband Charlie Waide, 36, are expecting their third child together.

"It's a bit of a surprise. Just when ... it looked as if we might get some quiet time, number three is going to be joining us in March," she says.

The news comes after what Wright calls a tough 12 months, with her and Waide separating for several months.

"Charlie and I have been in difficult places at times. We got to a point where so much had happened - we'd moved five times in four years, had the children, I was no longer working full time and Charlie had started his own business, plus we were renovating the house. Something had to give," she says.

In February, the Herald reported Wright had walked out on Waide and was living with her parents.

The couple have reunited and are living in their renovated North Shore home together.

"We're very different personalities, almost opposites. Charlie is very assertive - an alpha male - whereas I'm pretty relaxed, possibly gentler and more sensitive. Things are better now - but it's a work in progress," Wright says.

Wright says she told Woman's Weekly her story because she's 25 weeks pregnant and her belly will soon be visible during her weather segments.
