Tristan & Tahyna MacManus - ‘HE'S A REALLY CALM BABY!'

Third time’s the charm for the smitten new parents

It isn’t easy fronting up for the Studio 10 cameras every weekday after another sleepless night, but host Tristan MacManus says his newborn son Tadhg is well worth it, as he and wife Tahyna exclusively introduce their third bundle of joy to Woman’s Day.

“As soon as he arrived it was like he was always here,” Tahyna, 35, says of their son, who was born at Sydney’s Sutherland Hospital on May 3, weighing 3.59kg. “It is that final little bit of the puzzle.”

And while the couple – who also share five-year-old daughter Echo and two-year-old son Oisin – are now officially outnumbered, they say they’re tackling the challenges of a big family as a team.

“But you have stronger players – I’m lucky that I have Tahyna,” Tristan, 38, jokes.

“Parenting is not easy,” Tahyna agrees. “And certainly with three it’s been all over the place, but we’re loving every second of it.”
