She also spoke candidly about their battle with unexplained infertility, saying they tried for over a year to get pregnant.
Unexplained infertility is when a couple have been trying to fall pregnant for around a year and haven’t been able to do so, despite typical infertility issues being tested for and ruled out.
‘It’s actually is a good outcome, as much as it is frustrating, it’s one of the best outcomes you can have,’ Renae explained.
But she said the whole process was ‘physically and emotionally draining’.

Andrew revealed he found it hard to watch his wife go through the heartbreaking process.
‘It was just like having a dark cloud over her head the whole time, which was really upsetting to see – when you’re someone who wants to see them at their best and happy,’ he said.
The pair eventually fell pregnant on their second round of IUI – or artificial insemination, which is considered less invasive than IVF.
