“We’re having a baby!!! Finally after 7 years!!!”

Tanya had previously spoken to the news outlet about six painful IVF trials, which had not succeeded and their faint hopes of conception. In March 2024, she had told the news outlet that she acknowledged her and the doctor's efforts, but the process had been "eating" her "alive." For over seven years, she had sustained "infertility sadness" due to "stage 4 endometriosis", as revealed by the news outlet. The latest news comes after her recent weight loss during her journey.

Tanya Hennessy took to her Instagram stories on July 25 and added hilarious photos of her dog's alleged reaction to the pregnancy. In a series of photos, she described Butter Keith's 'reactions' to the news.

Tanya had talked about her weight loss in a recent podcast, Something To Talk About, by Stellar magazine. She acknowledged that her weight loss had piqued curiosity among her followers and explained,

She added that she had gained approximately 50 kilos due to "work", "eating badly", and stress. She continued,

I gained a lot of weight in the media, and then I was like, can we just not talk about my body? Can I just be a creative being who isn’t their body?”
