He continued, “All that stuff I absorbed [over that time] is this library of wonderful content that I can now share with my daughter and my new son, and it’s just the best gift.”
Jamie and Ameka welcomed son Nash in February and announced the happy news on Instagram.
“Welcome to the world, baby Nash David Durie. Words cannot describe how grateful we are,” Jamie wrote.
Thank you to my beautiful @amekajane for making this dream come true.
Our family heart is full of three beautiful children. Thank you everyone for all your nice wishes, we are overwhelmed.’
It comes after Jamie, who has an adult daughter Taylor from a previous relationship, recently spoke to Woman’s Day about becoming a father again in his 50s.

“A lot is happening, but life is great,” he told the magazine.
‘I’m a father again! I always knew I would have more children. I think it just had to be done with the right person.’
The former Backyard Blitz host said he was in a much better position to be a parent than he was when he first became a father nearly 30 years ago.
He was only 23 when he welcomed Taylor with ex-girlfriend Michelle Glennock, a Las Vegas showgirl he met when they were both 18.
“It was just sheer madness. So at this point in my life I think I’m probably a better father now than I was the first time,” he said.
“Taylor is still my number one girl, but now that I can be home and spend quality time with Beau, I’ve created a connection I’ve never felt before.”
Jamie and Ameka, who met in Los Angeles in 2019, welcomed Beau in July 2021.
They had announced their engagement just months earlier in February 2021.
