You may recognise Tammin Sursok as the rebellious Dani Sutherland on Home and Away or Jenna Marshall on Pretty Little Liars, but it’s her adorable family snaps that we can’t get enough of.

The South African-born Australian actress and her husband Sean McEwan are proud parents to daughters Phoenix, who turns six in October and Lennon who was born in January 2019.

Tammin and her husband tied the knot in a dreamy Italian wedding back in 2011 but has admitted that having a baby can be tough on any marriage.

“Our first date night was three weeks after the baby was born, and he fell asleep at the table,” she told The Morning Show‘s Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur.

“This was the best family photo we could get.”

That said, Tammin is clearly head over heels for her partner and professed her love in a sweet Instagram post in honour of Father’s Day.

“From the minute you stepped into the role you rose to the occasion.You have sacrificed and given all that you are and we call you our hero. I have no idea what I would do without you parenting beside me. You woke up at 3am this morning to take care of the baby and let me sleep,” she captioned her post.

But the path to motherhood hasn’t been all smooth-sailing for Tammin.

The Pretty Little Liars star confessed on The Morning Show that she quickly fell pregnant with her eldest daughter but when she and her husband decided to have a second child, she suffered two miscarriages.

“I got pregnant really fast again and we lost that baby in the doctor’s office actually,” she revealed. “And it was pretty far into my pregnancy, so it was quite shocking. When things like that happen, you never think it’s going to happen to you.

“But they’re so common, and we don’t talk about it. And then I had another miscarriage before Lennon, so two back to back so I was pregnant for a year.”

An Aussie girl at heart, Tammin has spoken about splitting their time in Australia and the US 50/50 as she wants her children to be more carefree than careful.

Speaking about Phoenix on Today Extra in 2017, the former Home and Away star said, “I want her to feel free and not so stressed about her body image and beauty and all those things that don’t instil strength and compassion, resilience, fortitude, all that kind of stuff.”

Tammin has previously hinted that she and Sean are considering having a third child and it’s clear that motherhood suits her.

“It’s messy and sticky and scary and exhausting and hilarious and joyful and painful and magical and beautiful and happy and overwhelming and just the most incredible thing ever,” the actress described it on her Mother’s Day post this year. “I feel honored. I feel tired and I feel so damn lucky.”

What an adorable family of four!
