Despite welcoming her second child – daughter Brooklyn Elisabeth – back in January, Vanessa Lachey says she is still trying to get used to the fact that she’s now a mum of two. Speaking on The Today show she said:

“It’s still very surreal to me that I’m a mother of two. It’s not really hit me yet. I’m still evolving as a woman and a mother.”

However, since welcoming Brooklyn and her brother Camden John, 2, with husband Nick Lachey, the model admits to becoming more empathetic. Retelling a tale she said:

“For the first time I was on an aeroplane [without the children] and there was a baby screaming, and I had this moment where I just wanted to go back there and hug them and hold them and love them. It was the first time I wasn’t like ‘Great, there’s a kid on a plane'”

The 34-year old is also a proud spokesperson of March of Dimes – a charity that dedicates itself to researching and trying to bring an end to premature birth, infant mortality and birth defects.
