Love after loss: Hayley Holt reveals how she’s finally found peace
Wrapped in a cosy jumper in the lounge of her new home, Hayley Holt is finally in her happy place. After a painful 18 months, which saw the TVNZ sports reporter and her partner Josh Tito deal with the sudden and tragic stillbirth of their son Frankie when Hayley was six months pregnant, the pair have shared a difficult path together.
But a year down the track, life is better and brighter, and Hayley and Josh have something to celebrate – the purchase of their first home together. As she takes Woman’s Day on a tour, long-term renter Hayley laughs that it took her a full week to feel like she wasn’t squatting in someone else’s home. But now, a couple of months in, she and Josh are finally feeling settled.

The lovebirds first started looking for houses in Auckland just as prices were peaking.
“That was really fun,” Hayley says dryly. “It’s just down to timing. If you don’t have enough money for your deposit, you can’t get in.”
So they started looking further afield, which led them to Warkworth, an hour north of the city, where they have a ready-made community with Hayley’s parents and many extended family members. Even with the daily commute to Auckland for her presenting gig on 1 News, Hayley says she has immediately adjusted to the new pace of life.
“Although I need to go and get glasses now because I’m driving at night,” she grins. “That’s what happens when you get old – you move to the suburbs and you buy glasses.”
Who Is Hayley Holt Husband Josh Tito?
Hayley Holt and Josh Tito’s friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship after they met as friends in 2018 and began dating a year later.
When the excellent news of her pregnancy first became public, she had not revealed the father.

They agreed to be co-parents for the child at first, but after spending more time together during the pregnancy and Covid-19 lockdown, they fell in love.
“We had Frankie to hold us together before we had Frankie, then the grief process held us, and now we have to hold ourselves together.”
The couple is celebrating the recent acquisition of their new house in Warkworth, an hour north of Auckland, just over a year later.
The couple considered buying in Auckland first, but the hefty housing prices pushed them to explore elsewhere.
Hayley’s parents, Robin and Murray, and her extended family live in Warkworth, so they have many familiar faces and support.
In New Zealand, one in every 500 pregnancies ends in a late stillbirth, either during or after 28 weeks.
