Channel Seven star Erin Holland gives shattering update on her long battle to have a baby with Aussie cricketer
Channel Seven star Erin Holland has provided her social media followers with a heartbreaking update about her ongoing fertility battle. The presenter, 36, hoped to start a family with her Australian cricketer husband Ben Cutting following their 2021 wedding – only to discover IVF was their best option to have a baby. Taking to Instagram this week, the former Miss World Australia confirmed they are still at square one despite four years of trying. 'Here we go again,' she wrote with an accompanying photo from a hospital. 'I'm (now) breaking up the highlights reel with some real talk. 'Many losses, many failed transfers down, today was all about exploratory surgery, internal 'renovations' and starting testing from scratch again to try and find some answers to the soul-destroying unknown. Taking to Instagram this week, the former Miss World Australia confirmed nothing has changed after four years of trying 'What's the missing piece of the puzzle? Injections, steroids, so many drugs... it's far more emotionally and physically draining than we ever bargained for.' Holland's emotional post also included a picture of several vials in a bathroom. 'Infertility feels like your face is pressed up against the glass of a club you so badly want to be a part of, but no one is letting you in,' she added. Among those to support Holland publicly included Nadia Bartel, Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou and fellow cricket presenter Grace Hayden. Holland also previously stated she 'let Ben down' after failing to fall pregnant and her 'sense of failure is overwhelming'. In recent years, Holland has been a regular on Seven's cricket coverage, including the men's and women's Big Bash tournaments. After hanging up his cricket spikes, Cutting has turned his attention to the property market, securing a role as an agent with U Real Estate in Brisbane. 'It definitely has the highs and lows like cricket does,' he told 'I've been doing everything from cold calling, to door knocking to letter box drops.

Channel 7 star's heartbreaking fertility update: ‘Here we go again'
Channel 7 presenter Erin Holland has 'broken up the highlights reel with some real talk' on her ongoing fertility battle. The 36-year-old's hopes of starting a family with her Australian cricketer husband Ben Cutting, 38, have been set back in recent years. The couple learned soon after their February 2021 wedding that IVF was their 'only real option to have a baby' but the process has proved challenging on several fronts. In a devastating update on Instagram this week, Holland detailed how they are almost back at square one nearly four years later. 'Here we go again...' she wrote with a photo from hospital. 'Breaking up the highlights reel with some real talk. 'Many losses, many failed transfers down, today was all about exploratory surgery, internal 'renovations' and starting testing from scratch again to try and find some answers to the soul-destroying unknown. 'What's the missing piece of the puzzle? 'Injections, steroids, so many drugs... it's far more emotionally and physically draining than we ever bargained for.' Erin Holland is searching for answers to her IVF struggles.

'My emotional support animal needs some work though,' she laughed. More seriously, Holland also sent a message to others in the same situation. 'Infertility feels like your face is pressed up against the glass of a club you so badly want to be a part of, but no one is letting you in,' she wrote. 'To all going through it, life can be tough… but my darling, so are you. Hang in there x.' Holland received support from high-profile friends and fans, from Channel 7 colleagues Lisa Sthalekar and Alex Hartley to Olympic gold medallist Shayna Jack and the likes of Tayla Broad, Chrishell Stause and Nadia Bartel. Holland first opened up on the IVF process in 2022 when the first round resulted in 'nothing viable'. 'As someone who went in just wanting to freeze embryos until the time was 'right', I've grappled with the confusing feelings of the loss of any 'normality' of this process, feeling like the universe was telling me I'm not meant to be a mother,' she said at the time. Ben Cutting and Erin Holland married in 2021. Credit: Instagram Holland shared that she felt a mix of emotions, including the 'guilt of letting Ben down, the 'am I even ready' thoughts, and feeling physically broken'. 'The sense of failure is overwhelming,' she said. 'The toll on the mind and body, the injections, the cost... but I'm so grateful for modern medicine - it will take a village to create this baby, let alone raise it. 'The fact that IVF is even a possibility blows my mind. I know it's only the very beginning of this journey, and I thought about only sharing it when it was over, if ever.' Holland has been a regular on Channel 7's cricket coverage across men's and women's Big Bash and international matches. She and Cutting both travel throughout the year presenting at and playing in cricket tournaments around the globe. Cutting suffered what Holland described as an 'unexpected bump in the road' last year when he went under the knife after months of back and nerve issues. Ben Cutting underwent back surgery in 2024. Credit: Instagram 'The last six months I've dealt with numb legs, weak legs, drop foot, severe nerve pain, days where I couldn't walk, a spinal surgery, and a ruptured plantar fascia,' he said. 'I still rehabbed my arse off and got back on the park and played some good cricket. 'This week capped it off, I went back under the knife, in an effort to play on. I am out, but I will be back.' Cutting most recently played in the World Championship of Legends tournament in the UK.

Aussie cricket star reveals ‘humbling' career move
Next time you get a knock on your door and you're a cricket fan, you might just be bowled over. In a surprise move, Aussie cricket veteran Ben Cutting has started selling real estate, while his model/TV presenter wife, Erin Holland, has nearly finished getting her real estate license. Cutting, 38, has been working under the radar as an agent with U Real Estate in Brisbane, and already has a couple of big sales under his belt. His first transaction was a luxury apartment at 6/16 Riddell Street, Bulimba, which he sold for $3.3m, in conjunction with his colleague, Jonathan Peck. Cutting also recently sold a five-bedroom house at 3 Hurlstone Street, Wishart, for $1.885m. 'Starting afresh is quite difficult when you're competing with big brands like Place and Ray White in our area. 'I've been doing everything from cold calling, to door knocking, to letter box drops. So, does he ever get recognised? 'Sometimes. Other times I get told to f*** off; it's rather humbling,' Cutting said. As for Holland, she has one more module left to finish before she too can call herself a real estate agent — although you might not see her at an open time just yet. 'At this point in time, it's another string to her bow,' Cutting said. 'She's not going to go into sales full time tomorrow, but she might help out here and there and slowly build up from there.' It's not their first foray into property. The power couple is the driving force behind Golconda Property Group — a residential and commercial property development company. 'I'm still very much in the development side of things, but as you know, it can be a two or three-year process per project, so I've got a lot of downtime and I enjoy real estate, so it's a comfortable shift.' It comes as the cricket all-rounder puts his Cannon Hill investment property up for rent. Records show he's asking $1200 a week for the four-bedroom house at 14 Aster Street, which he bought for $525,000 in 2016. The glamorous couple are currently renovating a grand Queenslander in Hawthorne which they paid $2.86m for last year. On a 810sq m block, the early 1900s residence has six bedrooms, three bathrooms and original features such as soaring ceilings, traditional VJ boards and timber floors. 'We've nearly finished the back yard and are getting a cabana built,' he said. Cutting's demanding cricket career has been riddled with injuries, including two spinal surgeries within 18 months. But he will continue to play overseas; picking and choosing the tournaments that fit around his new work schedule.

Aussie star forced to flee to Dubai amid India-Pakistan conflict
Australian broadcaster Erin Holland says she remains 'rattled,' after being forced to flee Islamabad this week, as tensions continue to escalate between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir region. Holland was in the country working as part of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). But due to the ongoing tensions, matches were suspended and moved to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. India and Pakistan are locked in a longstanding dispute over Kashmir. The two countries have engaged in daily clashes since Wednesday, when India launched strikes inside Pakistan on what it called militant bases. India has said its strikes on Wednesday, which kicked off the clashes between the countries, were in retaliation for a deadly attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir last month. However, Pakistan denied India's accusations that it was involved in the tourist attack. Since Wednesday, the two countries have exchanged cross-border fire and shelling, and sent drones, and missiles into each other's airspace. According to casualty estimates on both sides, at least 48 people have been killed. Aussie Erin Holland appeared on Weekend Sunrise on Saturday, after fleeing Pakistan for Dubai following escalating tensions in the region. Credit: Seven Now, safely in Dubai, Holland spoke to Weekend Sunrise on Saturday of her experience. 'We had a game three nights ago which went ahead without a glitch and then the next day we'd heard that there had been some escalating tensions,' Holland told hosts David Woiwod and Sally Bowrey. '(After that) we kind of sat in limbo for 24 hours or so, not sure what was going to happen. 'If we were leaving, if we were continuing, we were eventually told that the PSL would move to Dubai. 'We were put on to a special chartered flight, which was organised for anyone who could basically get into Dubai without a visa or had a visa. 'So, for us Australians, that was wonderful news. '(When) we got to the airport, we found out the whole thing had been called off and things (tensions) have exacerbated since we left. 'I think there was an attack on the airport, about 3.5 hours after we left. 'So, feeling very rattled right now. 'But very grateful to everyone who's looked after us so incredibly well, and thinking about all of my peers, who are still on the ground and haven't been able to get out yet.' Woiwod asked Holland if she had witnessed any of the attacks. 'Definitely (heard bits and pieces). 'And there's been a lot of action in Islamabad over the last 48 hours. 'We've seen a lot of artillery on the roads. 'We've heard a lot of air traffic noise as well. 'I haven't sighted anything myself with my own eyes, but we've definitely been in situations where the day after we (the place has been attacked). 'So yeah, it's been a really unnerving few hours. 'I'm just really, really sad. 'The countries (involved, India and Pakistan) I visit both very frequently, working in cricket and have a lot of love for everyone.' Currently, about 15 Australian players are in the league. 'We all have been keeping in very close contact,' Holland said. 'We're a very small, closeknit fraternity, particularly the broadcasters as well. 'We come from all over the world, but there's kind of only a few of us that work here. 'I had six Aussies with me on the plane, Aussie cricketers who came out, so everyone's just looking forward to getting home to their families. '(I'm) kind of lost for words to be honest. 'It's been a really difficult time, and I think really a massive shame as well. 'Something that brings people so much joy has not been able to go ahead in a time that I think we could all use a really big lift.' - with AAP
