Forget anything you’ve heard or thought about The Bachelor Australia fan favourite Laura Byrne not wanting to have kids.
The 30-year-old accessories designer loves the idea of raising a family – but she’s not willing to settle down with just anyone to make her dream a reality.
“I want to have kids one day, which is a conversation Matty [Johnson] and I have had,” Laura reveals to TV WEEK.
“My parents split up when I was three. I’m close with them both. But Mum raised us. It was hard.”
After seeing her mum struggle, Laura’s prepared to wait for the right man.
“Mum was an absolute wonder woman for doing it, but I want to be in a team when I have kids,” she says.
Fan favourite Laura looks pretty happy with Bachelor Matty.
Laura adds her mum had it tough “having three kids and doing it all on her own”.
“I really want to be in an awesome relationship, and have that be the basis of having a family,” she explains.
“I don’t want to settle just because I feel like my biological clock is ticking.”
Thankfully, her parents’ divorce hasn’t deterred Laura from trying to find true love.
“I’ll weigh it up. ‘Is this someone I can grow old with?’” she explains.
“I’m not someone who wants a relationship because it’s fun for right now. I’d rather be on my own than in something OK or lacklustre.”
