Jodie Kidd has expressed fears she will not be able to have a child with ex-Royal Marine fiancé Joseph Bates.
The model and TV personality, who hasn’t named a date for her wedding yet, turned 44 this week, while Bates is 35.
She said, ‘If I have a younger man, I’m going to worry when he’s 43 and doesn’t have a kid, and I’m about 50, and suddenly he says, ‘Oh, I want a baby,’ and I’m sitting on my Zimmer frame.’

“I think it would have been cliché in a restaurant. But this was private, fun and different.’
Her ex-Royal Marine partner told how he had been planning the proposal for some time.
“I kept thinking, ‘Shall I do it now? Is this the right place?’ I wanted it to be private, but I kind of have an ad-libbed,” he admitted.
The couple, who began dating in 2017, are planning a wedding on a friend’s property in the West Country, but have not confirmed a date yet.
It will be Joseph’s first marriage and Jodie’s third.
