Adrienne Porter lost her first husband and 'childhood sweetheart' Mark when the professional racing car driver crashed at Bathurst in 2006.

The couple shared a two-year-old son, Flynn, who is the spitting image of his father.

For years Adrienne, 42, couldn't entertain the thought of meeting someone else, until fate would have her attend a function and meet veterinarian John Rigley, 39.

'We met at a function back in 2010... I wasn't actually meant to go because I'd been really sick but my girlfriend made me,' the Gold Coast native told FEMAIL.

'John was a friend of her husband's. She'd never thought to set us up but as serendipity would have it, we hit it off.

'I don't think we came up for air for about four hours…just talked and talked and talked. 

'I really wasn't sure if I'd ever find anyone that could occupy my heart again like Mark had but John does a million times over. He's the most incredible human. 

The pair were married two years later and immediately started trying for a baby, something Adrienne thought would happen 'straight away'

'I mean, I know all people say that about their spouses, but John is some kind of wonderful. 

'He adores Flynn, he never ignores the fact Flynn's dad is still and will always be a big part of his life, in fact he honours that which is so important to me. 

'John's a vet so obviously he's compassionate but when I see him work, I see what he puts into his practice it makes my heart so warm. 

'He's had to put up with so much from me through this whole journey and is the most humble human you'd ever meet.'

The pair were married two years later and immediately started trying for a baby, something Adrienne thought would happen 'straight away'. 

'We got married in April 2012 and I thought I'd be up the knock by May. Except it didn't happen that way. At all,' she said.

'I knew something wasn't right after four months and that's when we went to my specialist. Over the six years we spent in IVF, our list of issues became as long as your arm – basically that our chances of conceiving naturally, and using my own eggs were fairly slim.

'We got married in April 2012 and I thought I'd be up the knock by May. Except it didn't happen that way. At all,' she said (Flynn pictured left)

'I didn't want to accept it at first but after about the 10th failed cycle I knew we had to try a different approach. Find someone who could help us.'

After 1,439 needles, hundreds of thousands of dollars, six years and a devastating miscarriage Adrienne knew it wasn't working. 

'I wrote a post asking for help on my blog thirtysomethingmama.com, that I needed eggs,' she explained.

'A very dear friend then called up and offered us hers. She was a perfect fit. I couldn't speak. Her kindness will never ever be forgotten. 

'To offer up a part of yourself in such a generous way is something quite extraordinary. It's such a process to go through, the egg collection.'

Finally, Adrienne saw those two little lines on a pregnancy test and the family were gifted the news they had so badly wanted.

Their daughter, Evie Lauren Rigley, was born in April 12 this year.

'Our little miracle Evie Lauren is the blessing that has made our family complete,' she said.

'Looking back on what we went through over six years... It was hell at the time. 

'One in six women in Australia go through infertility and it is the most grueling, painful, emotionally challenging experience to have to put your body and soul through. 

'But I refused to give up, even when John was at a turning point, I said we had to keep going. 

'We needed the final piece to our puzzle and look, it paid off, now we have this most precious baby girl who lights up our life every day. 

'As Flynn says: "She's the best thing to ever happen to our family". Now we are complete.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
