Ferne McCann has teased she wants more children with fiancé Lorri Haines just weeks after she was forced to hit back at split claims.
The former TOWIE star, 34, denied claims back in November that she’d parted ways with Lorri, 33, after they’d reportedly had ‘one big blow out over something and nothing’.
The couple share daughter Finty, 16 months, while Ferne is also mother to daughter Sunday, six, from a previous relationship. Lorri also has a son with a former partner.
But opening up on future plans as a blended family of five, Ferne told OK magazine: ‘I feel like I’m not done. But right now, I feel blessed. We’re a blended family of five [Lorri has a son from a previous relationship].
‘I just feel so happy with my girls and they’ve got such a lovely relationship – they’re already really close.’
Ferne recently told how despite the couple facing ‘tough’ times of late, her and Lorri are stronger than ever.

The TV personality, who is set to make her debut on Dancing On Ice next week, detailed her dismay at the ‘out of the blue’ split rumours as she revealed how the couple strive to make their romance work amid the difficulties of juggling their careers and blended family.
She told OK! magazine of the break-up speculation: ‘My heart sank – I even had family members messaging me and asking what had happened. But we are good. We feel like we have to justify ourselves sometimes because, you know, every couple has their ups and downs.
‘I think this is my first proper relationship and we are juggling so much with businesses and raising our children together; we’re a blended family, with lots of different personalities. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not constantly upbeat and positive, but we’re very much together and doing life together.’
She added of their busy lives: ‘When you’ve got multiple children, it’s a lot. We’re both busy working and it’s like any household, it’s about the moving parts. Sometimes we can be like passing ships if he’s in the office and I’m working – it can be tough.’
Ferne went on to say that she found the speculation on social media difficult as she found herself focusing on the ‘negative comments’, but added that she does have a ‘thick skin’ after years of being in the industry.
She added that it could have been easy for her to feel ‘anxious’ about the split rumours but instead she opted to just ‘park it’ and ‘move forward’.
Last year Ferne admitted that she and fiancé Lorri sleep in separate bedrooms – after confessing they previously sought help from an intimacy coach.
However, Ferne has now confirmed that the couple are ‘back in the same bed’ and have been ‘getting the intimacy back’ in their relationship.

‘You really have to prioritise it when you’ve got children, it’s easy for it to be bottom of the pile. We had a baby and are very busy. But now we prioritise intimacy, and communication is key’
She explained further: ‘You really have to prioritise it when you’ve got children, it’s easy for it to be bottom of the pile. We had a baby and are very busy. But now we prioritise intimacy, and communication is key. You get those rare moments where you can have quality time together.’
Despite getting engaged three years ago, Ferne admitted the pair were in no rush to get married as planning a wedding is a ‘mammoth task’ and she had other things to prioritize during this ‘big year’.
With her Dancing On Ice stint coming up and other work in the pipeline, Ferne emphasised that she doesn’t think she could take the ‘added stress’ of planning a wedding in 2025, suggesting that they may tie the knot in 2026.
