As their daughter Billie Rose marks 18 months, All Blacks hero Beauden Barrett and his wife Hannah could have a budding athlete on their hands. As Hannah tells Woman’s Day, the little girl has already adopted her famous parents’ love for keeping active.
“She’s just a runner – she runs everywhere!” grins the 27-year-old mother and influencer. “So it’s going to be interesting to see what she’s like when she’s older.”
It’s hardly surprising Billie’s always on the move. With athletic genes thanks to her rugby star dad and former hockey player mum, she’s also accustomed to seeing Beauden, 30, race around the field and Hannah on her treadmill.
Although Hannah’s always been sporty – playing hockey for Auckland and Wellington through university, and spending lunch breaks at the gym once she became an accountant – she admits pregnancy presented new challenges and, like many first-time mums, she struggled with her body and fitness after welcoming Billie.
“I kept active during pregnancy with walking and low-impact Pilates, which was good mentally and it also helped being fit for the birth,” says Hannah, who shared her 2019 wedding to Beauden in the pages of Woman’s Day.
“But afterwards, I struggled quite a bit during those first three or four months while adjusting to motherhood. I didn’t get to the gym anywhere near as much as I would’ve liked, then we moved to Japan, so I wasn’t gym-ing at all.”
