Raising two young boys as a single dad is a hard task for anyone, but Jeff Brazier has gone above and beyond. When his ex-partner Jade Goody passed away in 2009 to cervical cancer, Jeff was granted sole custody of sons Bobby and Freddie, 19, and the trio have shared an unbreakable bond ever since. But one thing's for sure, the 45 year old - who split from Jade in 2004, five years before her death - has never shied away from encouraging his sons to talk about their mum.
Now, as Father's Day approaches, a source has told OK! that Jeff and Bobby's strong bond allows them to keep her memory alive. "Jeff and Bobby have such a strong bond - they’re not just father and son, they’re best friends," the source said. "They talk about everything together, Jeff encourages them and has never shied away from the subject of Jade.
They celebrate her and talk about fun times.
"They really are such a strong unit and it's helped Bobby to become the star he's become.” Bobby - who first shot to stardom in EastEnders when he joined the cast in 2022, and won an NTA for Best Newcomer - is clearly following in the footsteps of his famous parents. Jeff is a successful television presenter, while Jade worked tirelessly to raise awareness of her condition, after a successful reality TV career. Then, when 21 year old Bobby danced his way to the Strictly Come Dancing final in 2023, it was clear to see his biggest supporter was his dad.
