Who Dares Wins star Tania Zaetta’s biggest victory of all – motherhood!
Tania Zaetta made her name overseeing crazy, incredible challenges on TV. But nothing prepared her for the shock discovery she had left it too late to have a baby naturally, when she and partner Chris Rogers decided to take the first step towards parenthood three years ago.
“I drove home in tears to Chris and he was just so beautiful and supportive,” remembers Tania, 48, who wanted to tell her inspirational story in Woman’s Day to debunk “fertility myths” she feels cost some women their chance of motherhood.
THE ONLY OPTION
“It’s very confronting when you hear the number and quality of your eggs is quite low at 45. But there were so many woman claiming miracle babies at 45, I just thought it would happen quite easily.
“But for lots of women it doesn’t. To be able to have an egg donor baby, that’s the miracle to me.”
Tania says she always knew she wanted to have children, but was also determined to wait to have babies when the time was right. “I was always going to be a mum, but I was single for a long time, and I wanted to wait for the right man – and Chris was the right man,” she says.
