It has been a rollercoaster year for former Home and Away star Christie Hayes.

After experiencing a devastating miscarriage, the actress-turned-radio star is now safely into her sixth month of pregnancy.

The 38-year-old couldn’t contain her joy on a recent winter stroll by the Derwent River with her younger son Harley, near their home in Tasmania.

In exclusive pictures taken by Daily Mail Australia, Christie – who shot to stardom in 2000 playing teen wild child Kirsty Sutherland in the iconic Aussie soap – covered up her baby bump in a purple cable-knit jumper.

The host of Hobart’s Hit 100.9 Dan and Christie breakfast radio show is set to welcome a baby girl in a matter of weeks. 

She announced on air in May that she and husband Justin Coombes-Pearce – also a radio host on Triple M – are excitedly preparing to welcome their first child together after a gruelling four-year IVF journey.

There’s been plenty to celebrate for Christie in recent months.

Together with her co-host Dan Taylor, her radio show recently scored the coveted number-one position in the breakfast timeslot. 

The two have been hosting together since May 2022, and it’s the first time they’ve been declared number one, dethroning 7HOFM’s Sarah Mick and Johnno.

Christie told Daily Mail Australia her pregnancy is progressing well, and she is ‘getting really excited’ for the arrival.

‘It’s our first girl, so we’re happy,’ she said.

Christie is already a mother to Harley and his older brother Hendrix, 10, from a previous relationship.

When she announced her pregnancy, she included an emotional message to families going through IVF.

‘It’s been four years in the making … I am pregnant. We are ecstatic, we are safe, and we’re in the second trimester already,’ she said. 

‘I just want you to know that if you are going through IVF, I have been where you are. I know how hard it is. I just want you to know that it can happen. When you least expect it, your life can change.’

In a touching tribute to the baby Christie and Justin lost, she added, ‘After the rain comes the rainbow.

‘After losing a baby, two back-to-back chemical pregnancies, our miracle is finally here. And now, somehow, it makes sense. The final piece of our puzzle.’

‘To my fellow IVF warriors — I see you. I am you. If you’re still waiting, still aching, still hoping — please don’t give up. Your miracle might just be around the corner, your story is still unfolding and we never know what the next chapter holds.

‘Our beautiful boys and my darling husband and I couldn’t be happier.’

In April, Christie told New Idea magazine that losing their first baby ‘ripped our hearts out’.

They had brought a special Christmas decoration for the child they’d nicknamed ‘Sunflower’, which read, ‘Mummy and Daddy can’t wait to meet you in 2024’.

At the time, Christie spoke of being ‘hopeful but realistic’ about whether they’d become pregnant again. 

When announcing on 26 May this year that he was set to become a father, Justin shared an emotionally charged message to social media.

‘We’re finally in the “safe zone”, and I still can’t quite believe I get to say those words,’ he said.

‘We’ve walked through more heartbreak than we ever imagined – endless appointments, IVF rounds that didn’t work, moments we felt completely broken, and nights when we clung to each other and tried to stay strong when it all felt hopeless.

‘But through it all, we never stopped believing in this dream. There’s a tiny heartbeat growing stronger each day, and so is our love and excitement.’
