On Sunday night, Esther said she โ€œisnโ€™t taking this time with Ralph for grantedโ€ following her three-year-old son Forestโ€™s traumatic birth in 2018.

โ€œForest went straight into the NICU for a week after his birth and I just remember having to leave him at the hospital (after my standard 2 days in America was up) and us having to drive home without our baby,โ€ she shared.

โ€œIt was one of the hardest moments Iโ€™ve ever had and went against every cell in my body. Iโ€™m not taking this time with Ralph for granted for a minute.โ€

Esther and Howard, who tied the knot in 2017, welcomed their first child Forest a year later.

The Aussie actress previously said thereโ€™s many things she misses about living in Australia, and hasnโ€™t ruled out moving home to raise Forest Down Under.

โ€œThere is still a part of me that would love to be close to my family, and Howard is definitely open to living in Australia at some point,โ€ she said.
