“It’s been so wonderful to have them over the past few days. Lyra has really enjoyed spending time with/her cousins ​​Zala and Tisa.

In a video update to her fans, she said: “I’m tired so Lyra is sleeping, the girls, Aljaz’s sister and her husband are away and the house is the quietest it’s been in recent days.

“But I really miss the noise. It was so nice for Lyra to spend time with her nieces and nephews, so that we could spend time with our nieces and our family.

“It’s so hard to have them so far away all the time, so when they’re here or we’re over there, it’s very sacred moments for us. But in our family we say quality over quantity and this was definitely a beautiful quality time and special memories for Lyra.”
