Laura Byrne - 'We want two kids MAYBE THREE'

THE WORKING MUM TALKS BUSINESS, BABIES AND HER MISCARRIAGE HEARTBREAK

- Nikita Lee

Small business owner, podcaster and mum-of-one Laura Byrne has already had a busy start to the day when WHO calls her at the home she shares with her fiancé, Matthew ‘Matty J’ Johnson, in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Along with other activities, the morning’s schedule included using their 10-month-old daughter, Marlie-Mae, for a comical ‘brows tutorial’ for Instagram. “It’s been a really productive day working from home today,” the 34-year-old laughs.

All jokes aside, the current global pandemic has changed the routine in the former Bachelor stars’ household, with Johnson, 33, on childcare duties and Byrne juggling the online store for her jewellery label, ToniMay, and recording her podcast, Life Uncut, with fellow Bachelor alum Brittany Hockley – all from the two-bedroom unit.

“I used to be able to go to work and now going to work just means I go to my bedroom and sit next to my bed on a tiny little table!” Byrne tells WHO.

We chatted to the former reality star about her wedding plans, how first-time motherhood is treating her, and the couple’s plans for adding to their brood.
