New photo My Kitchen Rules' Zana Pali shares the unexpected challenges of motherhood

They rose to fame for their sharp culinary skills and confrontational attitude on My Kitchen Rules in 2016.

But Zana Pali and Gianni Romano are showing off a softer side since the birth of their first child Leonardo last month.

Zana, 26, told The Courier-Mail on Sunday that motherhood had presented her with some unexpected challenges.

'The biggest challenge I find is the lack of sleep and the fact that 24/7 this helpless little munchkin is completely reliant on you for literally everything,' she said.

'It's completely different to before when you were able to leave the house for appointments whenever you wanted, go out for a date night or just work on your business.'

Zana explained that most of the time she and Gianni, 30, are so tired they sleep whenever they can grab a moment to themselves.

'It's so different!' The 26-year-old revealed that motherhood had presented her with some unexpected challenges

The lawyer-turned-food blogger added that nothing could have prepared her for going into labour for the first time.

She said there were even moments when she believed her body was going to give up. 

The business owner also confessed that she feared being unable to bond with  Leonardo after her pregnancy.

It's all about him! Zana said her focus getting through child birth was the fact she was about to bring the most important thing in her life into the world

'I was worried before birth that, "What if I wasn’t going to be maternal?", "What if I wasn't going to be a good enough mother?"' she said.

But the moment she cradled her son in her arms for the first time, Zana instantly fell in love.  

Zana and Gianni were initially cast as the 'villains' on My Kitchen Rules but eventually won over fans later in the season.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
