CARRIE Bickmore has always been immensely protective of her private life, but she’s opened up in an interview with Australian Woman’s Weekly, sharing details about her partner, her son and losing her first husband to brain cancer.

The host of Ten’s The Project is due to give birth to her second child any week now, and she looks impossibly beautiful in the magazine, showing off her bump at eight months.

“I’m so excited,” the 34-year-old tells the mag, “But I’m also slightly terrified. I think when you have done it once before, when you do it again, you know what you are in for.”

Bickmore says she had a tough time after the birth of her son. “I had a haemorrhage about 10 days after I had him. I think I still have anxiety about that hanging over my head.”

Bickmore, who is having a baby with her partner Chris Walker, credits the former producer of The Project with helping her put her life back together following the death of her husband Greg Lange in 2010.

The popular TV personality has always been careful to keep her partner and seven-year-old son Ollie out of the spotlight, despite the fact that she is so very much in it.

“The thing about life with Greg and my past is that I am always aware that I have a little boy, who I want to grow up and have a happy, contented, normal life, where he doesn’t have to hear his life lived through the media.

“I am very aware that I chose a life in the media, but my family didn’t, my in-laws didn’t, my son didn’t, so I’m protective in that space,” she tells AWW in an issue on stands this week.

Bickmore opened up in the interview about when Lange was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour, and the couple’s decision to marry. “We always knew it was a very, very serious form of cancer, but we didn’t have major discussions, nor would we focus on what it would mean in terms of time frames.”

Bickmore and Lange married in December 2005, despite his prognosis being so uncertain at the time. Their son, Oliver, was born in 2007. Tragically, Lang passed away in 2010.

Carrie posted a picture of her pregnant belly on Instagram.

“Greg is a part of my life every day,” she said. “He is there. I look at Ollie and I see Greg.

“I love that when I look at Ollie I see Greg in him because it means he is always present. He’s always there,” she said, adding, “my past will always be with me, I’m OK with that.”

Bickmore also speaks candidly about a miscarriage she suffered after the birth of her son.

“Ollie knew that I had lost a baby. I’d had a miscarriage early on, after I’d had him. I always spoke to him about it. I’m really honest about life with him.”
