What has Kelly Brook said about children?

Kelly and her husband have no children together after Kelly made the difficult decision not to pursue motherhood after a number of traumatic experiences.

When in a relationship with her former fiancé Thom, she suffered baby loss at six months pregnant.

Speaking on a podcast about her loss, she said: "I had a miscarriage at six months, which was the most traumatic, horrific thing that I've ever been through. It was just the most devastating thing.

"It took me quite a long time for my body and for everything to kind of, I don't think you ever fully recover from that, but our relationship didn't survive that and I just had to pick myself back up and just move forward."

She went on to explain that the trauma of it led her to make the decision to not have children. Kelly said: "I just thought, “it's not in my world", I just don't want to go through that again."
