Matty J & Laura ‘We're a pretty GOOD TEAM'

THE FORMER BACHELOR LOVEBIRDS GET CANDID ABOUT FAMILY LIFE AND THEIR UPCOMING PLANS TO TIE THE KNOT

- Sara Tapia

After falling in love on the set of a reality show in 2017, former Bachelor stars Matthew “Matty J” Johnson and Laura Byrne are used to rolling with the punches. In late 2018, the pair announced they were expecting their first child together – with daughter Marlie-Mae arriving the following June. Although the pair got engaged during their babymoon, wedding planning was put on hold when, just over a year later, they fell pregnant with baby number two!

“I really enjoy the newborn phase, I know that it’s not for everyone, but there are parts of it that I absolutely really love,” Byrne, 35, admits when WHO catches up with the couple – just three months after welcoming their second little girl, Lola. “And Marlie is just so obsessed with her sister now and it’s such a beautiful thing to see.”

Despite declaring themselves “fly by the seat of our pants” parents, Byrne admits there’s not much that can prepare you for the sleep deprivation. “I cannot remember the last time I got a full night sleep – actually, I haven’t had a full night sleep in three months, let’s be real,” she laughs.
