Jennifer Hawkins’ life looks a little different these days, compared to her past as an international model.
In recent years, the former Miss Universe Australia’s days are filled with early mornings, nappies and cuddles as she has totally embraced family life, marriage and motherhood.
In 2013, Jen and husband Jake Wall tied the knot but they initially struggled to fall pregnant due to a fertility battle. The model and businesswoman later discovered she had endometriosis.
“As a woman and a type A personality, I’m used to planning everything. I think this will happen, then this will happen. It seemed like a lifetime as month after month people constantly asked us when we were going to have a baby,” Jen told Stellar Magazine in 2019.
However by October 2019, Jen and Jake were parents to their precious daughter, Frankie Violet. During an appearance on The Morning Show, the smitten new mum made it clear that it’s the highlight of her life.
“I’m absolutely loving it, but it’s not glamorous at all is it?” she remarked.
“There’s so many things you laugh about, like the spews and poos and everything that happens. You’re with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so it feels like she’s been with me for two years. You’re up feeding, sleep deprivation, everything. Everything changes when you become a mum.”
For the next two years, Jen would share precious moments with Frankie, like her daughter eating cake with her fists and trying on her mother’s oversized heels.
But Jake and Jen’s oasis of three grew to a perfect four when their son Hendrix Hawkins-Wall came into the world in October 2021.
Taking to Instagram to share her joyful news, Jen wrote: “Hendrix Hawkins-Wall. Welcome to the world, our sweet boy. 🤍🤍🤍.
“What a week it’s been! Our little man wanted to say hello to the world earlier than expected and has needed some extra care but is now doing so well and is healthy and strong!! We could not be more grateful or more in love!! 🥰 •20/10/21• @jake_w_wall.”
Following his birth, the proud mum-of-two gave her fans a glimpse inside their cosy world by posting a video of Frankie and Hendrix bonding – a moment that sings to every parent’s dreams.
Frankie is enamoured by her little brother in the family footage after planting a kiss on him, and their dad can be heard saying, “It’s your baby bro! Say hey Hendrix,” in the background.
So, bask under the sunshine of the model’s young family by poring over this gallery of their priceless moments.

Little Hendrix is learning how to walk!
She really is just like a regular mum. Jen got down on her hands and knees in the grass to play around with her two bubs one winter weekend in August.
“My little date,” Jen captioned this darling photo of Frankie enjoying a babycino one a chilly winter morning.
In August Jen treated fans to a slew of photos that proved she’s got the mum-of-two juggle down to an art with Hendrix in the harness and Frankie holding tight to her mum’s hand on a beach walk.
She also made plenty of time for her baby boy, seen here cuddling up as close as he could get.
So that’s how she gets such toned arms! Jen hoisted Frankie up for a cute kiss in the sun.
It’s easy to imagine Jen and Jake living a very glamorous life at home, but as this picture from September 2022 proves, even famous parents enjoy the little things. Jake snapped this sweet moment between Jen and their kids as they watched the sun set together.
“Happy 3rd birthday to our Frankie girl!!! You brighten our world and have shown me the deepest most intense love!! I am so proud to be your mummy! And proud of who you are – so caring, sweet, funny, silly and sensitive! We love you so much!” – Jennifer did a special post on Instagram for Frankie’s 3rd birthday.

Kisses from older sister to younger brother!
No better feeling than snuggling your little ones.
