Gemma Atkinson says she has ruled out having any more children with partner Gorka Marquez after the recent birth of their second baby. The Channel 4 Hollyoaks actress appeared on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2017, where she met professional dancer Gorka, and the two began a relationship before getting engaged in 2021.
Since then, they have moved into a beautiful home in Manchester, and have two children together - four year old Mia, and son Thiago, who was born in July this year. And addressing whether they planned on having any more, Gemma took to her Instagram story to reveal that she was "never" doing it again, Birmingham Live reports.
Gemma explained: "Thiago is asleep... oh my God. Last night. Brutal. Brutal. We had a Tasmanian Devil in the bedroom and my scar was sore, you know, from picking him up loads. But do you know what? It's OK today but I am absolutely wrecked. I am just getting on with it but I know I'm never doing it again."
She added: "We hoped for two if we could and we've done that. I am never having another kid after this. When we had Mia, we said 'if we're lucky, we'll do it again' but I'll never do it again."
The BBC Strictly Come Dancing star says she and Gorka Marquez are happy not having any more children after being blessed with a boy and a girl.
Responding to an Instagram DM about her C-section scar in another Instagram story, Gemma said: "OMG same. Achey, throbbing and heavier bleeding again, just when you think you can stop using pads. I am stopping exclusively breastfeeding soon, so I'm looking forward to that. Aching to transfer from my scar area to my boobs when milk starts to go back. The joys nobody tells you about."
The pair announced that they were having their second child back in January,
