Sophie Ellis Bextor On Life With Five Kids

Sophie Ellis Bextor has insisted that life as a mother of five is easier than raising a smaller family.

The singer welcomed her youngest son Mickey four months ago with her husband Richard Jones and finds that things "fall into line" with so many children. They also have Sonny, 15, Kit, 10, Ray, seven and three-year-old Jesse.

She told You magazine: "It's an anomaly, having five children - I'd have questions too. And I know this sounds weird, but I sometimes find having four or five easier than having three.

"On paper it sounds like hard work, but actually they kind of fall into line, because there are other people they can ask for help, more hands on deck.

"Plus, we always take a mate for our eldest on holidays now, too - so this summer it will be Richard and I and six kids. So you should ask me again after the summer when I can tell you it was actually a nightmare."

The 40-year-old did admit a downside to having such a big family, however, as they don't get out on many family outings without at least one complaint.

"There are a couple of kids who are always enthusiastic," she commented. "Jesse, who's three, and Ray, who's just turned seven, they're both up for anything, and it's not their age, it's their character.

"Whereas Kit, who's ten, has always been more reluctant. And Sonny is a teenager, so it's really important that he has his own space, but I just say to him, 'Look, we've got to get you out of the house once a day and we still really like seeing you. You're still part of the family so you've gotta stick it out for a couple more years.'

"But he's quite reasonable about that and he's very sweet with the little ones, quite helpful.' I dunno if I'd risk nappies. Bit unpredictable at this stage."
