It’s a crisp winter’s day on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula and Tania Zaetta is at home with very active twins. But her love for two-and-a-half-year-old Alby and Kenzie is so encompassing even the “terrible twos” stage can’t dim the joy in Tania’s eyes as the twins turn her dining room into one chaotic cubbyhouse!
“It’s hectic, busy, and noisy at home these days and I love it, and wouldn’t have it any other way,” reveals the former Who Dares Wins co-host and Bollywood star, who gave birth to the twins at 48 after having two anonymous donor eggs implanted.
“Every day they melt my heart with things they say and do. Like when they wake up in the mornings giving me cuddles saying, ‘I love you Mummy, I missed you when I was sleeping.’ I seriously don’t remember what life was like without them, and I don’t want to.”
Tania, now 51, says becoming a mother after being inspired by famous older mums like Sonia Kruger and Mary Coustas, who also used donor eggs, is even more fulfilling than she or her partner of nine years Chris Rogers, 37, dreamed parenthood could be.
