It seems everything TV personality and host Sonia Kruger does, she does so with style and grace.

And motherhood has been no exception for the star.

It hasnโ€™t always been easy however, as Sonia struggled to fall pregnant to partner Craig McPherson.

While Craig had six children from a previous relationship, Sonia longed to be a mother herself.

Being over the age of 45, doctors told Sonia her chances of falling pregnant were zero, and the coupleโ€™s attempts to conceive both naturally and through IVF were unsuccessful.

โ€œWe tried IVF and it wasnโ€™t successful,โ€ she told The Australian Womens Weekly in 2012.

โ€œThe doctors were very clear with me too, that for women over the age of 45, which was the age we attempted IVF, the success rate is zero.

โ€œYou still believe it can happen, and you see stories, and you think maybe that can happen for us, but the odds are definitely very slim.โ€

Luckily for Sonia, at the age of 49, a close friend donated an egg and the TV host fell pregnant. Nine months later, she gave birth to her daughter Maggie.

โ€œIt has been a long road, but Craig and I are delighted to finally confirm we are having a baby,โ€ she told the Herald Sun when announcing her pregnancy.

Just a year later, Sonia told The Australian Womenโ€™s Weekly she would love to have a second child, but is hesitant.

โ€œItโ€™s been such a joy for me, Iโ€™m just so happy,โ€ she said of motherhood. โ€œI would love to [have another child] but, I really feel like I shouldnโ€™t push my luck!โ€

โ€œLuckily for me, sheโ€™s pretty measured actually. Sheโ€™s seven now, so sheโ€™s kind of grown out of that phase,โ€ Sonia told Now To Love in July 2022.

โ€œThey really do start to mature a little bit when they go to school and we have the best time just hanging out together.โ€

She also revealed that Maggie is developing an interest in her mumโ€™s glam job โ€“ or at least the beauty side of it.

โ€œLittle girls, they start to gravitate towards makeup at quite a young age, but I keep saying to her, โ€˜you donโ€™t need anything, your skin is perfectโ€™,โ€ the doting mum says.

And Maggie is turning into Soniaโ€™s little mini-me, just look at the photos weโ€™ve collected below for proof.

Welcome to the world, Maggie! Sonia announced the arrival of her daughter, born in January 2015 with this cute sneak-peek of her feet.

Not long after, Sonia shared this first snap of the precious bub.

There may not be much room left in the bed for Sonia, but it doesnโ€™t seem like she minds. The Big Brother VIP host captioned this candid photo: โ€œWoke up like this.โ€
