It’s not every day you see someone juggle new motherhood and prime-time television like a pro—but Laura Woods just did exactly that.
On Wednesday night, the popular presenter made a graceful return to our screens, stepping back into her Champions League hosting duties for TNT Sports.
Back in the Spotlight for Barcelona vs. Inter Milan
After a short but well-deserved break, Woods was front and center for TNT’s broadcast of the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Inter Milan.
She took her place alongside football pundits Steve McManaman and Owen Hargreaves, guiding viewers through the evening’s coverage with her usual warmth and sharp insight.
Her return marks just three months since giving birth to her son, Leo, in January—a milestone she shares with her fiancé, former Love Island contestant Adam Collard.
Teasing Her Comeback Online
The 37-year-old gave fans a heads-up about her return the night before.
She posted a photo of herself watching Arsenal with baby Leo, and when a curious follower asked when she’d be back on air, she cheerfully replied, “tomorrow (Wednesday)!”
She didn’t stop there. Woods also hinted that she’ll be heading to Paris next week as Arsenal attempts to turn their semi-final tie around and secure a long-awaited spot in the Champions League final. “Hmm. Not the end of the world, but not the best.
On to the next. See you in Paris, Gooners,” she posted—her usual blend of football passion and optimism.
Embracing Motherhood While Staying Stylish
Though she’s kept a relatively low profile since giving birth, Woods has still shared glimpses of her new life with her followers.
One recent highlight? Attending a friend’s wedding with Leo and Collard.
Dressed in a stunning pink bridesmaid dress from the brand Six Stories, Woods admitted that finding outfits post-baby hasn’t been the easiest.
“I find it very difficult to dress since having my little man, unless it’s in a tracksuit,” she confessed on Instagram, expressing gratitude for discovering the brand and even giving them a little shoutout.
Baby Leo didn’t miss out on the fashion fun either—he wore a miniature suit jacket from House of Cavani to match his dad’s look.
Leading TNT’s Champions League and Boxing Coverage
Laura Woods has been the face of TNT Sports’ Champions League and boxing coverage since July 2023.
Her return this week not only marks a personal milestone but also a professional one, as she resumes one of the biggest broadcasting roles in football.
It’s clear that while motherhood is her newest and most important title, Woods hasn’t missed a beat when it comes to delivering top-tier sports coverage.
