When Fiona Met Hayley

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

This love story starts with one woman sliding into another woman’s DMs. Fiona Falkiner is a model, she was a contestant and then a host on The Biggest Loser and the person who was in her DM’s? That was her now fiancé, Hayley Willis, who is a sports journalist. 

Hayley was a little bit drunk, scrolling through Instagram after a big night and thought - wow, she’s hot. And now? Well, their love is big, their chemistry is undeniable and their family is growing. 

From their first date to predatory paparazzi culture, to the birth of their son Hunter, here’s Hayley & Fiona…

THE END BITS:

With thanks to Hayley Willis & Fiona Falkiner
