Matty J & Laura How we make it work

THE NEWLYWED COUPLE INVITE WHO INTO THEIR SYDNEY HOME AND OPEN UP ON THEIR EXCITING FAMILY PLANS!

- Melissa Field

Almost six months since their fairy-tale wedding, Matt ‘Matty J’ Johnson and Laura Byrne are both very much still in the honeymoon phase of their marriage – even if they haven’t yet found time to go on an actual honeymoon! The couple are in the trenches right now, juggling their incredibly busy work schedules with parenting their two adorable daughters, Marlie-Mae and Lola, who are aged 3 and 2 respectively. “It’s pretty crazy right now,” Laura tells WHO. “But we’re having the best time.”

The couple, who, of course, met and fell in love during the 2017 season of The Bachelor, do have a lot on their plates, with Laura working as the creative director for ToniMay, the jewellery business she co-owns with her sister, Alisha De Graaf, as well as co-hosting the hugely successful Life Uncut podcast with fellow The Bachelor alumna Brittany Hockley. The pair also host KIIS FM’s national The Pickup show every day at 3pm alongside co- host Mitch Churi. Matt, meanwhile, in addition to holding the fort at home with their girls, files regular TV segments for shows including Weekend Today and is collaborating with Laura on a men’s jewellery range for ToniMay. “I’ve got a desk space in her new office,” Matt says. “We’re together – a lot!”

So how is married life treating you both?
