Looking around their bustling Leeds home, Kiwi league legend Bodene Thompson and dance superstar Kaea Pearce can't help but laugh at how different their lives have become over just a few short years.
Before, the hardworking pair would try to steal a few days together between their hectic international schedules, which saw former Warriors star Bodene, 33, travelling with his team for matches, while Kaea, 24, jetted across the world for gigs with Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez.
Now life is just as busy for the stunning couple - as it turns out, chasing after one-year-old twins is equally intense! "I don't know how we do it - we just do," laughs Kaea to Woman's Day as she bounces son Reinus on her lap while his sister Blossom sleeps. "It's organised chaos, but it works."
Raising twins on the other side of the world during a pandemic has certainly presented some unique challenges for the talented couple, who are in England while Bodene plays for the Leeds Rhinos and Kaea teaches dance.
Now the pair are preparing to come back home so the twins can finally meet their family and visit Aotearoa for the first time.
