Iongi's partner and the father to her young son, Reginald Sharma, died in August 2017 after a single punch at an Auckland party. The man accused of causing his death was found not guilty by a jury earlier this month.
Sharma who was of Tongan and Indo-Fijian descent was 25 years old when he died and Iongi was seven months pregnant with his child.
"It's tough raising a baby without him," Iongi said, "I still don't know how I'm going to explain to my son what happened, it's hard to explain because I feel like I still don't have answers."
