Congratulations are in order for Turia Pitt and her partner Michael Hoskins who have welcomed their second child, a baby boy.

The marathon runner and motivational speaker took to Instagram to share her happy news with a sweet photo of the newborn.

In a sweet Instagram post, the mum-of-two penned: “Maeva i te ao nei! Welcome to the world Rahiti.”

Of course, the post was flooded with messages of congratulations from Turia and Michael’s family, friends and fans.

Turia announced her pregnancy with a gorgeous video montage that featured herself, Michael and Hakavai before she proudly displayed her baby bump at the end.

“When Michael and I want to share big news, I insist on creating a Beyoncé-inspired video montage,” she captioned the sweet post at the time.

“Baby #2, we can’t wait to meet you 💛PS I promise we’ll find you a more appropriate name soon 😂,” Turia joked.

With one more little family member, things are bound to get a little hectic in the Pitt/Hoskins household, but Turia clearly loves being a mum.

In fact, our hearts filled with joy when she described the feeling of parenthood in a sweet Instagram post in January.

“You know that feeling of falling in love? It’s kind of like you’re high (thank you dopamine and oxytocin). Having a baby is like having this feeling on tap. It’s like the honeymoon phase that never ends.”
