Mollie King has confessed she is in ‘survival mode’ after welcoming her second child with her fiancé Stuart Broad.

The Radio One star, 37, and the former cricketer, 38, who already share a daughter, Annabella, 19 months, welcomed Lilianna in January.

And now, in an interview with MailOnline, Mollie has opened up about expanding her family and revealed she had a ‘tricky’ first weeks after bringing the newborn home.

She admitted that she felt like she ‘knew nothing’, but transitioning from one child to two was much easier than going from no children to one.

Mollie told MailOnline: ‘I feel like the first few weeks – it was the same with Annabella – I did find it quite tricky.

‘You’re just really in that sort of survival mode of, you’re up all night, you’re feeding constantly, but now I’m at that stage where I’m really able to sort of enjoy it and take the most of each moment.

‘I really felt like I knew nothing when I had Annabella.’

Shortly after Mollie gave birth to Liliana, her fiancé took a trip abroad to be a sports commentator for the South Africa premier T20 cricket league.

During this time, Mollie relied on her mother and her in-laws to support her while she juggled the demands of parenthood.

While Mollie explained that the timing of his trip wasn’t ideal, she had enjoyed spending more time than she is usually used to now that she has been on maternity leave.

Mollie, who has joined forced with toy company Hasbro, told MailOnline: ‘He went to South Africa for 5 weeks quite soon after she was born, which wasn’t ideal timing, so my amazing mom and mother-in-law really stepped in and helped me out with that.

‘But since he’s been back from South Africa. It has just been so lovely to have that family time while I’m on Matt leave.

‘It’s been nice to sort of feel like the four of us are a little used it and most of that time. I know how precious the time is.

‘I know how quickly it goes by. So yeah, we’ve been really trying to like make the most of each day and do fun activities and get out.’

The cricket sensation and the DJ met back in 2012 through mutual friends, but didn’t begin dating until six years later.

A friend asked Mollie to send Stuart a get-well message while he was recovering from an injury, marking their first link.

But they didn’t strike up their romance until 2018, when Mollie appeared on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Despite forging a strong bond, the couple briefly split for five months at the time but rekindled their relationship in 2019.

Mollie also spoke about how her eldest daughter has been looking to children’s programme, Peppa Pig, following the announcement of Mummy Pig’s viral pregnancy announcement.

Following Mummy Pig’s viral pregnancy announcement, Hasbro toy company has released results from a brand-new survey that explores parents’ atтιтudes towards introducing a new sibling into the mix.

Their results found that a whopping 96 per cent of parents agree it’s important to plan how to tell your child you’re expecting a baby, and only 31 per cent of parents feel ‘very prepared’ when it comes to answering difficult questions from their child about how babies are made.

This is something that Mollie has related to herself as she told MailOnline she was very nervous about bringing Liliana home to meet Annabella.

She said: ‘I was really nervous about it, I didn’t how she (Annabella) would be.’

‘I was like, oh my gosh, how is she (Annabella) going take to this because she is our world, and our world revolves around her and I want her to feel like that’, she added.

‘I want her to feel really loved and like our worlds revolve around her.

‘But, when we have the second one, that is sort of split, our worlds revolve around both of them, Annabella and Liliana equally.

‘So I was really nervous as to how she would be, but I think where she is very young at the moment she wouldn’t actually remember life now without Liliana, and she’s only been here for three months, but she is so caring, she is so kind.

‘I’m sure she’s convinced that they’re best friends already, although I’m sure Liliana’s not that aware of that.’
