It's a busy household for chef Jamie Oliver, who shares five children with his wife Jools. The couple married in 2000, and are doting parents to Poppy Honey, Daisy Boo, Petal Blossom, Buddy Bear, and River Rocket.
Jamie previously told TV Week about his ever-expanding tribe: "I've tried to put the brakes on a few times and it didn't work. Women are very powerful, and I'm not very good at restraint or control.
"I can give you a stronger answer, like, 'Look, five is enough. I'm struggling already to get them in the car. I can't even have a car anymore. I drive a ***** bus. We don't need any more kids.' But you would be under the idea that I have control of this situation. So, we'll see."
