Caprice explains why she hasn’t told her four-year-old sons they’re not really twins

Caprice has explained why she hasn’t told her four-year-old sons that they’re not really twins.

The US model gave birth to one of the boys herself, while the other was born via a surrogate three weeks earlier.

The 46-year-old had opted to use a surrogate due to fertility issues she and husband Ty were experiencing.

Caprice told Lorraine: 

“They are sort of like twins – born three weeks apart. Eventually I’ll tell them. Gosh they are so cute.”

Four-year-olds Jax and Jett are both Caprice’s and Ty’s biological sons, but one of them was born via a surrogate after the pair found they were struggling to conceive.

The model also said that she didn’t tell her sons about her brain tumour and the subsequent surgery she had to undergo.

Caprice discovered she had a tumour in 2017 during filming for Channel 4’s The Jump. 

She said:

 “I told them my bandages were a hat. They said I want that hat too, and I replied not this kind of hat.”

Caprice later told Hello! magazine that shooting the show “saved my life.”

“The Jump saved my life. I had headaches that were not going away and my vision was beginning to act up so the show’s production insisted I see their doctor.”
