Gorka Says No to Baby Three: Gemma Atkinson's Broody Moment
20 Nov
Summary
- Gemma Atkinson expressed interest in a third child, but Gorka Marquez firmly refused.
- The couple, parents to Mia and Thiago, debated expanding their family on their podcast.
- Gemma cited perimenopause as a reason for her wavering desire for another baby.
Gemma Atkinson has confessed to occasionally considering a third child with her fiancé, Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka Marquez. The couple, already parents to daughter Mia, six, and son Thiago, two, discussed their differing views on expanding their family during a recent episode of their podcast, 'Lost In Translation.' Atkinson, 41, brought up the subject after feeling broody following their youngest son's recent health check, but Marquez, 35, immediately shut down the idea.
Marquez firmly stated that their current family unit, including their dog Benji, is "perfect" and firmly rejected the notion of more children. Atkinson humorously suggested she'd rather have another dog if a baby were to appear, but later attributed her wavering to perimenopause. She playfully suggested Marquez should undergo a vasectomy to remove the choice, referencing her brother-in-law's positive experience with the procedure.
The couple, who met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2021, are also planning their wedding. They are undecided whether to tie the knot in England or Marquez's native Spain to accommodate guests. Atkinson also recently shared an emotional Father's Day post about her reluctance to change her surname, feeling it would sever the last tie to her late father.
