Pia then wrote in another post that Lara keeps her going, even during the dark moments in her life.

“Have you ever loved a kid so much that's not your own? I'm sure aunties out there can relate.”

She then continued, “Whenever life gets a bit too much for me and I go into a dark place, I always think about Lara and I look at our photos together.

“Family is everything. Thank you @sarahwurztbach for bringing this angel into this world!”

Sarah also has a son named Logan.

Lara's birthday is a sort of breather for Pia Wurztbach, who recently tested positive for COVID-19. She assured everyone that she feels a lot better and is already free from the virus.

According to her last Instagram post on January 7, “I'm one day away into completing isolation with my sister, @sarahwurtzbach who also caught it. We both tested negative already, thank God.

“The worst is through. I am recovering well. I am beyond grateful my parents are safe.”
