Earlier this month, Hope, 36, welcomed a new family member to her Melbourne home: a Cavoodle puppy named Stella.

Hope told her social media followers the dog was named and chosen by her children Svea, three, and son Ahi, two.

“If you’re not a dog person, keep scrolling,” Hope joked in the post.

‘Meet the newest addition to our family, Stella.

“She’s a Cavoodle and she was chosen and named by my damn adorable kids.”

In June last year, Thattil praised the ‘love of her life’ as she gave a rare insight into their relationship on the Jess Rowe Big Talk Show podcast.

“It’s amazing and challenging, and it’s making me grow in ways I’ve never experienced before,” she said.

‘In the past, I thought that if I wanted a career, to be the person I thought I should be, I had to sacrifice everything else.

“But here I am with real love in my life. With someone [Hope] I love very much.’
