Ollie Locke Rules Out More Kids as Apollo and Cosima Fly Business Class at Two

Ollie Locke has revealed he won’t be having anymore children with his husband Gareth after they welcomed twins together in 2023.

The Made In Chelsea star, 38, is a proud dad to Apollo Magnus Obi and Cosima Emily Bex, who he and Gareth welcomed in 2023 via surrogacy.

At the time of their birth, they were admitted to neonatal intensive care after being born prematurely at just 31 weeks. 

The twins, now healthy, have been living a life of luxury, with Ollie previously revealing how they’ve flown in business class and even on private jets.

Despite previously hinting at wanting more children with Gareth, the dotting dad has now revealed to the Daily Mail he’s not planning on having anymore children.

Ollie admitted: ‘I doubt it. We’ve got a boy and a girl. We’ve been incredibly lucky to get two lovely healthy children.’

He continued by expressing his gratitude that legislation now means he and Gareth could create their family, something other generations of gay couples were not afforded.

Speaking as he fronts iD Mobile’s Black Friday campaign, Ollie continued: ‘It’s just amazing that we’ve been born at exactly the right time where legislation, legalities, etc are all laid out and we’re allowed to do it.

‘I meet loads of men every month who are in their 50s or 60s through dinner parties and stuff, that always say I wish we had done it, but it just wasn’t legal. And they’ve been with their partners for 30, 40 years and they just said well it’s too late for us now.

‘So they’re the custodians of the battle that they put forward and they fought for us and so we can do it and so that’s important to us that they’ve been able to fight for what they believe in and that we get in Britain especially as lots of countries still don’t, but in Britain we’re allowed to, which for us that’s incredibly important.

‘I think having a third’s a bit selfish.’

His comments come after he told the Daily Mail in 2023 how there was five embryos remaining and he didn’t like the idea of ‘just getting rid of them’.

Describing his twins as ‘heaven’ for sleeping through the night, Ollie said teething has become a struggle.

He explained: ‘Teething is not ideal. That’s a horrible situation.

‘It’s pretty vile, but, and then as soon as it finishes, it carries on till you’re like seven, and then you get your wisdom teeth when you’re 13. So it’s it carries on most of your life until you’re adults.

‘The beginning’s not very nice at all because they can’t talk. They don’t know what to say, you don’t know what’s painful and where it is, so you’re guessing. So that’s the weird kind of guessing thing with children.’

Ollie and Gareth, who tied the knot in 2020 during an intimate ceremony with just 13 guests, still make time for themselves when not on parenting duties.

He explained: ‘As soon as the kids go to bed, and they’ve slept so beautifully since forever really, we then go downstairs and sometimes sit there.

‘We cook every night, at home when we’re not doing other bits of piece of work.

‘We have our time and that’s why we cook together and have a bottle of red wine and talk about work. But also talk about stuff that we need to do because we’ve got businesses and stuff like that and that’s our time together as well.’

The toddlers have already clocked up more airmiles than some adults, with Ollie previously sharing how they’ve taken 27 flights to date.

Speaking to Fabulous Magazine’s No Parental Guidance podcast, he said: ‘We’ve done private jets, we’ve done business class… and we did economy once, and it was a nightmare. Let’s just say we won’t be doing that again.’ 

He recalled one occasion where the twins ‘cried the entire’ flight when they sat in economy class for a one-hour trip to Dublin, Ireland. 

Ollie added: ‘Someone said ‘is this their first flight?’ and I said “no, it’s actually their 15th flight, they started off on a private jet”. 

Last year Ollie revealing he was held at knife point while his husband Gareth was forced ‘to hand over everything’ after a gang forced entry into their home in London. 

He detailed the horrifying encounter and shared pictures of his bruised back on social media on Wednesday – but did not disclose when the incident took place.

Ollie was followed back to his family home after enjoying a night out with friends when a gang forced there way in and told Gareth, 35, ‘they would stab Ollie if he didn’t hand over all desired belongings.’

He was prompted to recall the harrowing ordeal when he furiously called out the Mayor of London for not enforcing enough safety around London.
