Big news for Turia Pitt as Aussie celebs chime in with their support
Turia Pitt, burns survivor and ultramarathon woman, has announced that she is expecting her second child with her partner, Michael Hoskin.
She announced the news via Instagram on Saturday, announcing that they were expecting “Baby #2”.
“When Michael and I want to share big news, I insist on creating a Beyonce-inspired video montage,” Pitt posted on Saturday.
“Baby #2, we can’t wait to meet you.”
She added: “PS I promise we’ll find you a more appropriate name soon.”
Footage in the video montage shows Pitt and Hoskin cuddling on a balcony, playing with their first-born son Hakavai and attending an ultrasound appointment where there’s a glimpse of their new baby on the way.
There’s also footage of Pitt showing off her baby bump, which garnered support from Aussie celebrities.
“OMG! Congratulations! Another one through to the keeper,” champion surfer Layne Beachley wrote.
Supermodel Megan Gale posted: “Beautiful news! Congrats guys.”
Pitt and Hoskin welcomed Hakavai back in 2017, which is six years after Pitt suffered burns to 65 per cent of her body after a bushfire in Western Australia.
Pitt was competing in a 100 kilometre ultra-marathon when she was caught in the flames.
She lost seven fingers, endured six months in hospital and spent two years in recovery. She also endured over 200 operations during her time in hospital.
