Tara Pavlovic may have shot to fame as the fun-loving nanny who appeared on Matty J’s season of The Bachelor, but these days, her most important role to date is being a mum.
Tara and her husband Nick Shepherdson welcomed their first child, a son named Paddy, into the world in May this year, and since then the 31-year-old has proved she is every bit the supermum.
On Thursday, the former reality star weighed in on the highly-divisive topic of smacking children, saying it’s a parenting technique she doesn’t condone.
“I won’t ever smack Paddy. So even if Nick wanted to that’s something I would NEVER allow,” she revealed on Instagram.

Tara also explained that Nick wants to send Paddy to a public school, while she would prefer he goes through the private education system.
“This is also something we are trying to negotiate,” she said.
She then revealed when she plans to give six-month-old Paddy a baby brother or sister, saying she would ideally fall pregnant “early next year”.
“I really struggled being pregnant so the thought of another nine months of that WITH Paddy is hectic but I want them close in age,” she said.
The former nanny was also refreshingly candid about her post-partum sex life, admitting she was “petrified” the first time her and Nick had sex following Paddy’s birth.
“I also didn’t feel like my usual ‘sexy’ self having milk tits. It felt kind of wrong. But now I’m like YOLO,” she joked.
Tara advised any first-time parents who are struggling to maintain their relationship to be open and honest with each other.
“Speak about your roles as parents, in the home and as partners. Speak about what he expects you to do as a mum and what you expect him to do as a dad,” she said.
Tara revealed the hardest part about motherhood has been finding time for herself.

“I really struggle with taking time out for myself while working and being a mum,” she admitted.
“I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day and I have this to-do list in my brain and it’s never complete and everyday I spend chasing my tail.
“I struggle to turn my brain off and just zone out when I have things I need to do. It’s something I’m working on.”
