Jeremy Kyle has been absent from ITV following the 2019 cancellation of The Jeremy Kyle Show after the death by suicide of former participant Steve Dymond. However, the 59-year-old will soon be back on screens with Kate Garraway's Life Stories.
Away from his controversial shows, the star is a doting dad to his six children, with the latest addition to his brood arriving in January 2024. Jeremy shares his six children with three different women, but it appears that the TV star no longer plans on expanding his family. Speaking to The Sun, he said: "The world has definitely changed since I first became a dad [at the age of 24]. One thing never changes – no sleep, no money, no sex! But six is a great number. Six is three on each side to carry my coffin, so I think I'm done."

Harriet
The former Jeremy Kyle Show host shares his eldest daughter, Harriet, 35, with his first wife, Kirsty Rowley. The former couple welcomed Harriet in 1990 and parted ways five months later.
Jeremy became a grandfather for the first time in 2018 when Harriet, then aged 28, welcomed a daughter called Isla. Upon hearing Harriet's baby news, the TV star was reportedly "over the moon." Harriet has reportedly welcomed a second child since Isla.
Alice
Jeremy went on to marry Carla Germaine in 2002. The couple subsequently welcomed three children: Alice, 20, Ava, 19, and Henry, 15.

"Alice is about to go to university; Henry is about to go to boarding school; Ava has just got eight GCSEs. It's amazing, she's severely dyslexic. It's incredible what she's done, amazing. I'm so proud."
Ava
The presenter's teenage daughter, Ava, hit the headlines after she was hospitalised for a nasty spider bite.

Henry

Oliver
Jeremy and Victoria welcomed their son Oliver in 2020. Sharing details of their pregnancy news, Jeremy told The Sun at the time: "Vick and I couldn't be happier to say we're expecting our first baby together… We've told our families and everyone is delighted. It's the best possible thing that could have happened, and we're excited about preparing for his or her arrival in January."

Meanwhile, speaking on TalkTV, Jeremy shared a candid glimpse inside his life as a father. When asked about the home comforts he misses since returning to work, the father-of-five revealed: "Not being there at bathtime! No, I'm kidding. I would love to be there every night. Oliver and Victoria have changed my life."
Iris
Jeremy became a father for the sixth time on 26 January 2024 after he and Victoria welcomed their daughter, Iris. Sharing news of the birth online, he wrote: "She's finally here… Iris Rose Victoria Kyle arrived today at 12.31pm, weighing 7lb 6oz. Mummy was absolutely incredible, and we are just so blessed to have our beautiful new daughter."
