sam & billie: ‘we’ll have our next babies together’
What’s better than being pregnant at the same time?
They’ve already got their hands full with four children between them, but Sam and Billie Faiers are keen to add to their broods – and want to get pregnant at the same time. Speaking at the TV Choice Awards – held at the Hilton on Park Lane, where they were up for Best Reality Show for The Mummy Diaries – the sisters were asked if they would have a third baby at a similar time, and both exclaimed, “Yeah, of course we would!”
Sam – who has three-yearold Paul and 20-month-old
Rosie with boyfriend Paul Knightley – added, “It’s easy to be pregnant together. We didn’t go to a club together for four-and-a-half years!” However, Billie – mum to Nelly, five, and Arthur, two – says a new arrival or two will completely change their family dynamics. “For a long time now, it’s just been these four, whereas before it was one, two, three, four after the other,” she said. “Rosie is still our little baby, but she is like a little girl now... a little lady.”
And it might not happen soon, as Billie, 29, wants to celebrate her 30th in style and Sam is keen for Paul to be in school. “I wouldn’t want to get pregnant until the end of next year. I want to get my 30th out the way - I’ve got so much work and stuff going on,” Billie – who married Greg Shepherd in March – admitted.
Sam, 28, is yet to put little Paul in nursery as big Paul isn’t keen, but says once he goes to school next year, she’ll consider having another one. “Mine are still both at home with me, so [I won’t get pregnant until] they are in school, or when little Paul is in school. I wouldn’t even think about having another one until at least one is in school.”
And she admits she’s going to find it hard when he does go, saying, “It gives me butterflies in my tummy. I just think that’s a whole different chapter of life. They could be in school for years, potentially until uni. You just don’t know how long they are going to be gone for.” n
