Jamie: ‘Jools is nuts for wanting a 6th baby at 45’
JAMIE Oliver has claimed that his wife Jools is ‘nuts’ for wanting a sixth baby.
The chef, 45, revealed that despite having five children his wife, also 45, is still keen to expand their brood, despite his fears that they’re already ‘on the limits.’
It comes after Jools revealed that she suffered a miscarriage during lockdown earlier this year, her third since welcoming son River in 2016.
Speaking on The Joe Wicks Podcast, Oliver said his wife is only ‘truly happy’ being a mother and is the reason their family is so big, but he admitted he may have reached his limit now due to his age.
Host Joe said: ‘Who’s the one who wants all the kids, is it Jools?’
Oliver replied: ‘Jools, she’s literally nuts and she wants another one. It’s definitely an interesting one but it’s her thing right, that’s all she’s ever dreamt of and that’s the thing that makes her truly happy.
‘She just loves being a mother and for that I’m grateful but I think, you know, at 45, we’re sort of probably on the limits.’
Jamie also revealed pictures of fitness guru Joe’s children Indie, two, and Marley, eight months, on social media makes Jools even more broody.
He added: ‘Your [social media] feed is terrible for her, it just makes her more and more broody.’
Jools and Jamie already share daughters Poppy, 18, Daisy, 17, Petal, 11, and sons Buddy, nine, and River, four. In July Jools revealed she suffered a miscarriage during lockdown, as she said she’d lost three babies since giving birth to son River.
Speaking on the Made By Mammas podcast, host Zoe Hardman noted Jools had been ‘pining for a sixth child’ before her 47th birthday next year.
Jools then admitted: ‘I really do, I really do but I’ve just had three miscarriages since then and I’m thinking… and a recent one three weeks ago and I’m thinking: “No, I dunno. I do want to, but I’ve got to mentally check that it’s a good idea to do”. And also physically because I am 45... so it’s a little bit dodgy.’
