SAM & BILLIE’S SURPRISE BABY PACT

Although the Faiers sisters have three young children each, insiders say they’re not done yet and want to share the experience together

Sam Faiers and partnerPaul Knightley celebrated the first birthday of their youngest son Edward last week and, in a heartfelt Instagram post, doting mum Sam wrote, “The first year is so special, I wish it didn’t go as fast.”

Also mum to Paul, seven, and five-year-old Rosie, Sam has embraced life as a mother-of-three, but sources tell Closer that she’s feeling broody again. And she’s not the only one, as her sister Billie has also set her heart on adding to her family, despite her youngest being only five months old.

And our insider reveals that the sisters – who are notoriously close – have been discussing the merits of falling pregnant together, saying, “With Edward turning one and Paul and Rosie getting older, Sam is feeling broody. Three kids is a lot but she feels if she’s going to have more, she may as well add to the chaos instead of waiting a while and getting used to things being a bit calmer. Edward is the most delightful baby but he is that little bit younger than the other two and Sam thinks it would be nice for him to have a sibling close in age, like Paul has Rosie. She’d also love another little girl, so she has two of each – that’s always been her dream.”

Billie also has Nelly, eight, and Arthur, six, with husband Greg Shepherd and while they’ve admitted to their lives changing after baby Margot arrived last December, they are loving having a bigger family. So much so, Billie won’t rule anything out yet – especially if Sam has another one.

DREAM HOUSE

“Billie’s in a similar situation, although Margot is slightly younger, but she’s always broody,” the insider continues. “At the moment she and Greg have said no more, but like Edward, there is a big gap between Margot and her siblings and Billie has thought about a closer brother or sister for her. They’ve just moved into their dream house, there’s more

than enough room and she can’t help but feel they may have one more. So both sisters have made a pact that if they do have a fourth, they’d like to do it together, be pregnant at the same time and then the youngest members of their family can all be really close, just like Nelly, Paul, Rosie and Arthur are.”

While Sam, 32, would love another girl, Billie, 33, is keen for another boy so that there’d be four of each in total. The source says, “They’ve joked that they could give Suzie the perfect set of grandchildren – four boys and four girls if everything goes to plan. Both of them are only in their early 30s so there’s plenty of time, but they feel if they’re going to do it
