Glamour model Kelly Brook has confessed she will “have to get her head around” never becoming a mum. The 45-year-old star tied the knot with Italian model and actor Jeremy Parisi three years ago following her long term relationship with Jason Statham.
She never welcomed any kids with the Fast and Furious star, 58, who has since gone on to have two young children with his fiancée model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Kelly and Jeremy have decided not to start a family, something she addressed in an interview last week.
The Loose Women star, who originally hails from Rochester, Kent, said: “The time has probably run out, I don’t know, I just have to get my head around it.” Expressing her regrets that her relationship with Jason didn’t work, Kelly described the actor as “the best” in the candid interview.
Their relationship ended in 2004 after seven years and in 2010, Jason started dating Rosie, best known for her work for lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret, the Mirror reports.

Speaking to the Daily Mail this week, Kelly opened up about 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.”
The pair, who starred on Celebrity Race Across The World together, met when Kelly was 36-years-old. They reportedly agreed to prioritise a calmer lifestyle and neither felt drawn to having kids.
However, around a decade on, Kelly has now reflected and opened up about this choice.
Speaking on Loose Women last year, Kelly 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.”
However, Kelly has been pregnant before, revealing that she 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 kids.

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, showed that women are choosing to have children later regardless of their education.
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.
