Laurina beamed with joy in a short video taken at the hospital as she repeatedly kissed her newborn's head. She and her partner James Black glowed in their first family photo with little Archie. He is the couple's second child, after Laurina gave birth to big brother Bastian in November 2022, via caesarean section.

She and her partner James Black glowed in their first family photo with little Archie. 'We had to opt for a C-section because Bastian's heart rate was dropping with every contraction,' she wrote at the time. She went on to explain Bastian, now two, had a knot in his umbilical cord that was causing the problems with his heart rate.

'It wasn't until they pulled him out and realised there was a "true knot" in his umbilical cord that was causing it,' she added. 'The contractions were cutting off his oxygen [because] of the knot!'. In May 2022, Laurina told the Herald Sun she had started to believe having a baby wasn't 'in my cards'.
