Kelly Brook reveals

Kelly Brook’s words have resonated with a lot of women.

Kelly appeared on Thursday’s Loose Women and one of the topics up for debate was ‘judged for not having kids?’

Alongside Denise Van Outen, she discussed the pressure that is placed on many women to start a family or have more children.

The model and actress spoke about the frustration she feels at constantly being asked about starting a family.

“I mean obviously people always ask me because you know, my biological clock is ticking and I’m approaching 40 and people are like, ‘When are you going to have children?'”.

Kelly explained then how she has to react in that situation.

“And I have to say that I have tried to have children, I just haven’t been lucky. I’ve had several miscarriages and it’s just you know when you ask that question to someone, you got to think ‘hang on, there might be a medical reason why they’re not having children”.

This is a very valid point and the other women on the joined in the discussion as you’ll see below.

Kelly has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Jeremy Parisi since 2015.

The 38-year-old spoke about how she suffered from a miscarriage in 2014 with her ex-partner Thom Evans, and said it was one of the “most painful things” she went through.

Denise is also often asked whether she will have another child with her partner Eddie.

The actress is already mum to 8-year-old Betsy, whom she had with her ex-husband Lee Mead.

The 44-year-old confessed:

“I get asked a lot. I get it constantly, because I’m with Eddie.”

“We try a lot but nothing’s happening.”
