The former Neighbours star has shared her feelings on parenthood in her mid-forties and how it’s changed her life for the better.

The Torn singer gave birth to son Max last October and she couldn’t be happier with her decision as she’s always been successful with her goals.

She told Baby magazine: “I’m used to pushing the laws of probability in terms of what I’ve done in life. I’ve always managed to do things that are unlikely or improbable.

“Looking back I had lovely friends, had been married, a beautiful home and a career that I was proud of.

“But I’d long been at the point where I knew something was missing and that thing became something I yearned for above anything else.”

The brunette beauty shocked fans by announcing she was pregnant on social media in July 2019 and joked: “No I haven’t swallowed a watermelon.

She wrote: “I’m expecting my first child this Autumn. For those of you that know me, this has been something I have wanted for a very long time and I’m blessed that this is possible with the help of IVF and a sperm donor – I won’t be saying anything more on that publicly.

“I’m so excited about this next adventure… a new album and I’m going to be a mum!”

Celebrating her 45th birthday in February, the singer wrote on Instagram: “My little Max is by far the best birthday present.”

The Aussie native previously said she found it hard to settle with anyone as men found her too good-looking and their was too much emphasis on her beauty.

“There was always so much focus on the way I looked,” she said in 2015.

“If I see photographs of myself in my 20s I can see in my eyes that I’m trying to look like I’m having a good time, but I was basically really conscious of having to step up.

“But now I’m 40 I’m totally over that. I’m not going to apologise any more for being good-looking.

“My mum and dad are attractive people, that’s just how it is. All the focus on your looks just sends you insane.”

The singer revealed she was having a baby last summer with the help of IVF and a sperm donor which involves removing an egg from a woman’s ovaries and fertilising them using sperm in a lab.

The star was previously married to Aussie rocker Daniel Johns but split after four years in 2008.
