She wrote: ‘I can honestly say that. My favorite thing in the whole world is being a mother. It makes me so happy to see our little ones grow up and become part of their world.
‘I would love more. Whatever it is will be. But, my God, I love them (Joe is going to get a vasectomy when he sees this).’
