Just last month, 29-year-old Jesinta spoke about adjusting to life as a new mother.
“In those first few months there really is no time for yourself, you really become very dedicated naturally to your child and all of their needs because they are so dependent on you,” she said.
“Now she is not so dependent on me, finding that time for myself is really important to look after yourself because otherwise your life becomes taken over by running the household and being a mum.”
Franklin struggled to fall pregnant with Tullulah and has spoken of her hope to have more children if possible.
“It took so long, I think by the end, it ended up being four years from the time we started trying to welcoming her,” Franklin said of her daughter.
“It was a four-year journey so I would totally be okay if it was just Tullulah because we love her so much and we dreamt and wished for her for so long.”
The couple have been married for four years.
