EXCLUSIVE: 'I wish I acknowledged his pain more': Studio 10 star Tristan MacManus' wife Tahyna Tozzi speaks of their heartache after suffering three miscarriages in four years

Tahyna Tozzi and her Studio 10 star husband Tristan MacManus, are proud parents to daughter Echo Isolde, four, and son Oisín Lír, one, but along the way, they also suffered three miscarriages in four years.

The couple address their devastating losses in Tahyna's debut documentary MuM (Misunderstandings of Miscarriage), released on Stan this month, in a bid to help normalise miscarriage and unpack the stigma. 

Tahyna, 34, told Daily Mail Australia this week, that upon reflection, she wished she 'acknowledged' Tristan's 'pain and grief more'.

'He was my rock and was incredibly supportive. Looking back, I wish I acknowledged his pain and grief more,' she said of Tristan, 38. 

'Tristan also experienced a loss and that is one of the themes I wanted to showcase in MuM, that it can affect partners and family members and we should acknowledge their process.'   

MuM includes footage captured of Tahyna's pregnancy losses from her second miscarriage onwards, and other personal stories from friends including actresses Claire Holt and Teresa Palmer, and adoption advocate Deborra-Lee Furness.

Tahyna hopes the documentary will normalise miscarriage and unpack the stigma.

'The more women and men that join the conversation about miscarriage, the more we can normalise it and hopefully help families to better cope with their own experience of pregnancy loss,' she said.  

Tahyna admitted that filming was confronting, and at times, she 'wanted to stop'.

'I experienced both pregnancy and miscarriage during the process of making MuM and was exposing both me and my family in such an intimate way, that I was scared on so many levels,' she confessed.

'But I knew that the message behind MuM was much bigger than me and my story, so I didn't want to let my own fears stop me,' Tahyna continued.

'Looking back, I also realised that the process of making the film was my way of coping, understanding and accepting my grief, and honouring the babies I never got to meet.'

Inside Paedophile Island: Incredible pictures show Jeffrey Epstein cavorting with scantily clad young women where he provided gourmet food and beauty lotions and spent hours watching topless teens in Girls Gone Wild 'for inspiration'

Jeffrey Epstein spent an hour of his day watching explicit episodes of Girls Gone Wild while working out and cavorting with nubile young women at his private Caribbean island, as seen in these photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com. The perverted financier, who committed suicide at age 66 in August 2019, would ride his exercise bike as he watched the X-rated footage -featuring bare-breasted college girls - because it was 'inspiration' for him, a source who spent time on the island told DailyMail.com. Epstein, who reportedly demanded sex three times a day, was transfixed by the graphic videos that showed young women flashing their breasts to the camera in bars and nightclubs.   New details of his sinister life have further been exposed in never-before-seen photographs of his private island Little St James, which was dubbed 'pedophile' and 'orgy' island by disgusted locals. Epstein appears in the series of images surrounded by nubile young women, including s...

Ministers have been told that Phase One of controversial rail line HS2 could cost £800million more than planned. It comes just six months after a budget increase saw total predicted costs for the first stage of the high-speed line soar by £20.6billion to £43billion.

This includes the need to remove more asbestos than expected. Another 'significant cost pressure' worth £400 million has also been identified during the development of designs for Euston station. Mr Stephenson warned that further investigation is being carried out which 'could identify further pressure'.
