Pitt became a household name in Australia after she was left with severe burns to 65% of her body in 2011, when the ultramarathon course she was running became engulfed in a bushfire. She has since gone on to inspire others as she focusses on motivational speaking.
Turia Pitt and Michael Hoskin are expecting a baby
While appearing on Channel 9’s 60 Minutes, Pitt announced that she is 15-weeks into her first pregnancy and will welcome her baby in December.
The 29-year-old burns victim and now motivational speaker said she shared the happy news with her husband in a casual manner – while he was brushing his teeth!
“I just walked in and I left the pregnancy stick there,” Turia said.
“It makes me really stoked that I’m still here and I get to experience this.”
In the lead-up to meeting their baby, Pitt told 60 Minutes she’s certain Hoskin will be "an amazing dad" because of how he has supported her in the past.
"He had to look after me for years, and he was so patient, so caring," she said. "I think those qualities, especially in a parent, are really desirable."
