Engaged since a magical proposal under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Robyn and Laurie have gone from strength to strength and have found the first month of parenting surprisingly easier than expected.
"Overall, it's gone really well. You never know what to expect, but she's been really good as gold. It has been challenging at times, trying to get into a routine but we're finding it really rewarding," says Laurie.
Robyn explains: "I think we have been a perfect team and under high-pressure situations, so having this little baby, I think we've definitely had the experience that helped us handle it."
Laurie feels competing together on court has proved a factor in their positive start to parenting: "Through sport, you're made to be like a really good communicator so from the start we communicated how we were feeling and what we found challenging."
