Survivor star Monika Radulovic reveals if she plans to have any more children ... trends now

Monika Radulovic has revealed if she plans to have any more children as she opened up about her motherhood journey.

The former Miss Universe Australia star, 33, shares sons Luka, three, and Mateo, nine months, with her husband Alesandro Ljubicic.

The happy couple, who tied the knot in 2018, welcomed their second son Mateo in July, and Monika has spoken candidly about adjusting to life with two children.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Monika said she and her artist husband Alesandro are 'fulfilled' with their sons and aren't currently planning to grow their family further.

'One child is a lot, two children is a handful! It's so great but right now, we are completely satisfied and fulfilled with two,' she said while promoting Philips Sonicare's Mother's Day campaign.

'One child for each parent to help look after, and for now, we're extremely happy with our two healthy boys.' 

Monika told how the 'most challenging' part of motherhood for her has been having a second child as she discussed the difficulties of looking after two young kids.

'That's been the most challenging thing for me thus far in motherhood for sure,' she candidly shared.

'You've got one child who's aware of everything that's happening and they still really need you, and then you've got another child thrown into the mix! 

'An analogy I've heard that makes total sense is that it's like you've got a partner, and the partner says they want to bring another partner into your relationship, and you're going to love the new partner and it's going to be great - and I feel that's sometimes how the first child feels about their sibling. I couldn't have said it better myself!'

The Survivor star also admitted she has struggled with finding a new 'identity' as a mother, having previously been someone who valued herself based on her work achievements.

'What I can say has been challenging for me as a mum is a new self-identity because I always prided myself on being this go-getter and really type A personality and the way that I valued success was my achievements in my career and studies,' she said.

'When I became a mum, that took a huge step back and I prioritised my motherhood. But that sometimes means the most successful thing you've done that whole day is keep a child alive and fit - the house is a mess and you've not washed your hair and you're exhausted. 

'So for me, it was learning how not to get completely carried away by that but incorporating these small pockets of self-care.' 

Monika said she is also learning how not to be so hard on herself as a mother, having been a 'perfectionist' for most of her life.

'I over-analyse everything, I am a perfectionist, so that leans into parenthood of what could I have done better today as a mum, and that kind of thing,' she said. 

'Whereas different parents may be a bit more relaxed and easygoing and think 'that was plenty, I did my best and that was good
