Opening up about being a mum, she wrote at the time: "Happy 1st Birthday to our beautiful Raine! From the moment she came into this world it became the best & quickest year of my life! It wasn’t the easiest of journeys to have her here but my god she was worth the wait, not one second goes by where I am not grateful for her existence.
"My little bestie, the laughter & light of each & every day, she has bought so much joy to all our lives and in all the chaos going on in the outside world she bought me the biggest sense of calm and contentment.
