Staring into her granddaughter Mahina-Rose Pirihira Nathanâs eyes, acclaimed fashion designer Kiri Nathan canât help but lose track of time as she marvels at the similarities between the delightful eight-month-old and her son â Mahinaâs father Astley.
âI get this amazing double-layered thing happening where Mahina looks like a reincarnation of Astley,â beams mother-of-five Kiri, 51. âSo itâs almost like seeing my baby again, but I also get to see him as a dad for the first time, which has been really beautiful.
âHeâs really relaxed, and my husband Jason and I have seen this gentleness in Astley weâve never seen before. If Mahina gets upset, she looks around to try and find her dad and as soon as he picks her up, sheâs fine again.â
With a laugh, Astley, 32, adds, âI think Mum is trying to say I wasnât really someone they thought was going to have a baby now. Iâve always been a little less serious and only had to take responsibility for myself, so itâs been a massive shift. But Iâm so happy to have baby and this opportunity to look after someone else.
âAlthough the day-to-day can be hard, sheâs a ray of sunshine in my life. In the morning, sheâs sitting up smiling, ready for me to take her out of bed. Thereâs so much joy in that.â
Astley â a former Flava radio host and Te Karere television reporter, now works in MÄori engagement for the Mental Health Foundation â also acknowledges his partner Kim Newton.
