Jools Oliver is a doting mum-of-five, and often posts photos of her adorable brood, in particular her youngest child, seven-month-old River Rocket, who was born in August last year. On Instagram on Wednesday, the Little Bird designer posted a sweet natural shot of River smiling into the distance – looking like the happiest little boy in the world! Fans couldn’t help but observe his striking likeness to his famous TV chef dad, Jamie Oliver, with one writing: “A mini Jamie,” while another commented: “So much like daddy.” A third quipped: “He’s a handsome lil dude, image of his daddy.”

Jamie and Jools are also the parents to Poppy Honey, 15, Daisy Boo, 13 and six-year-old Buddy Bear. Speaking about their hectic family life, the celebrity chef dad told HELLO! Online: "Since Poppy was born, I just have to start at five, finish at ten at night, Monday to Friday. I have my structured holidays, my structured weekends, and I try to be a good boss and a good dad." Another tip on how to juggle work and play?

Family is incredibly important to both Jamie and Jools – and despite having already having a full house, Jools recently said she would consider having another baby in the future. "I'm getting older, but I'd definitely do it again if I could," she admitted last week. "I think Jamie's finished, but you never know. River's six months now, so we're past the really difficult sleepless first few months. He's such a joy."

Although busy with their brood to look after, Jamie and Jools are clearly still head over heels in love. Speaking in a previous interview, Jamie said that while he doesn't think marriage is "easy", he and Jools "love each other to bits". He added: "She's a wonderful person, kind and she's very sweet and sensitive and caring."
