Kelly Brook, who married Italian model and actor Jeremy Parisi in 2022, has been a panelist on Loose Women for several years and recently discussed a topic close to her heart
Glamour model Kelly Brook conceded she will “have to get her head around” not ever becoming a mum.
The 45-year-old star has been married to Italian model and actor Jeremy Parisi for three years, and was in a long-term relationship with Jason Statham before this. She never had children with Jason, 58, who has since gone on to have two young kids with model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to whom he is engaged.
And Kelly and Jeremy have not started a family, something Kelly addressed in an interview last week. The Loose Women panelist, originally from Rochester, Kent, said: “The time has probably run out, I don’t know, I just have to get my head around it.”
Expressing regret her relationship with Jason didn’t work, the media personality described the actor as “the best” in the candid interview. However, they split some years ago and, in 2010, Jason started dating Rosie, best known for her work for lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret.

Speaking to the Daily Mail this week, Kelly discussed how she might feel if she and Jeremy broke up and he became a father with someone else. The actress said: “If our marriage doesn’t end up successful in the long term, how would I feel seeing him go on and have children with other people? We made the decision early on that we wouldn’t have children, but I can’t say I wouldn’t be heartbroken.”
When the pair met – when Kelly was 36 – they reportedly agreed to prioritise a calmer lifestyle and neither felt drawn to having children. However now, around ten years on, Kelly has reflected and opened up about this choice. In a discussion on Loose Women late last year, Kelly had said: “It is the expectation (to have children)… I had thought ‘I need to just have this baby’ and ‘this might the last chance’ and ‘who knows.’ In my 30s, it consumed me to be honest.”
But the TV personality also said in this conversation she had suffered “several miscarriages” in her 30s. She described falling pregnant “by accident” and her sadness at the miscarriages, as well as the “backlash” she faced for not having children.
And women are choosing to have children later regardless of their education levels, argued Dr Miriam Stoppard recently. She alluded to a study led by Professor John Ermisch of Oxford ’s Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, which looked at the age and family education levels of mums having babies. The total fertility rate for England and Wales fell from 1.94 children per woman in 2010 to 1.55 children per woman in 2021, according to data from the Office for National Statistics.
