Australian model Cheyenne Tozzi has opened up about raising her daughter Dahlia De La Lune solo.
The local catwalk queen and then boyfriend Marlon Teixeira welcomed their daughter in September 2018 and had planned on raising her together in Cronulla.
However, the relationship broke down not long after the birth and Tozzi has since been parenting 17-month-old Dahlia on her own.
“I have got Dahlia on my own,” Tozzi told Sunday Confidential.
“Family support is so important. I have such a loving family. We are all strong women.
“It’s not too hard. Sometimes you think, ‘Oh my god!’ I remember the days when I could lay on my face and relax, now we watch The Wiggles 15,000 times in a row’. So I’ve gone from Jay Z concerts to The Wiggles.
“But Dahlia is great. She is very funny and very calm. She is just starting to give a bit of attitude.”

Tozzi took some time off after having Dahlia to be “Mumma Bear”, but is starting to ease back into the modelling industry.
“It is hard to jump straight back into this type of work,” she said.
“I have been going back and forth to America. I am here for another couple of weeks because my sister (Tahyna) is launching the Australian Women’s Film Festival in March.
“I have got my project with Haiti where we are building a medical centre for our school and I’ve got a few projects going with the UN women.”
Tozzi’s latest modelling gig is with cult brand Camilla, a brand and designer she has known and loved for a long time.
“I have never worked for Camilla before but I’ve known her for so long,” she said.
“My mum shot their campaign a little while ago.
“It is nice to work with such strong awesome girls.”
