Turia became a household name after she was left with severe burns to 65 percent of her body in 2011, when the ultra marathon course she was running became engulfed in a fire.

The 29-year-old revealed the couple were expecting their first child earlier this month, admitting she took five tests before she finally told Michael.

“When that first test came through I was just like "f***". Then I thought I needed to stay calm,” she told 60 Minutes.

With an overjoyed Turia due in December, the athlete admits having a family was something she and Michael had talked candidly about following her accident.

"It wasn't a deal breaker for us,' she told Australian Women’s Weekly.

“We talked a lot about it. Some couples split up if they cannot have kids, but we would have found something else.

“We might have adopted or pushed our energy in another direction.”

Just two weeks ago Turia showed off her baby bump in a series of adorable snaps while shw was on safari.


The couple posted the snap on Michael’s Instagram, with Turia wearing a baggy blue shirt that showed off her blossoming belly.
