Josie Gibson has opened up about her co-parenting situation with her ex-partner Terry Bond, the father of her five-year-old son Reggie.
The This Morning presenter said she is “really lucky” to have found a good middle ground with Reggie’s father, following “ups and downs” between them.
Opening up about the shared duties, the 39-year-old said: “I mean we’re not perfect, we’ve had our ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we’re really lucky.
“Reggie’s got a mum that loves him very much and a dad that loves him very much, and that’s what matters.
“I’m very fortunate he’s got the daddy he’s got, he’d never give up on Reggie and will always be there for him, and that means everything to me,” she told New! Magazine.
Gushing further about their father and son bond, she added: “When I see Reggie with his dad, I love it so much. I didn’t have that growing up, it’s so beautiful to see.”
Josie and Terry are said to have called time on their romance just four months after their son was born.
Speaking to the publication at the time, she said: “I never wanted to be a single mother, obviously, but there are things you can’t let go.
“So I hope I will smash life as a single mummy. Lots of other women do it.”
Josie has since gone from strength to strength in her career while juggling parenthood, but admits it’s not always been easy.
Previously speaking to Reach PLC, she shared how Reggie hates the attention that comes with the fame.
“He’s a funny little thing, he can’t stand it when people ask for photos,” she shared.
Imitating her son’s frustration, she continued, laughing: “He goes, ‘Mum, you always stop and talk to everybody, it’s doing my head in!
“We are going to be late. We are late for everywhere we’ve got to go to!’
“Obviously it takes me a while to get there, [he goes], ‘Mum, please just don’t stop and talk, I’m sick of the photos’. But, I like talking to people.”
Josie went on to say that despite Reggie only being five, she believes he won’t follow in her famous footsteps, but thinks he would be a great camera man instead.
Meanwhile, the presenter recently confirmed she is single and doesn’t have time for a relationship.
“It wouldn’t be fair on them [a potential lover],” she told The Mirror. “My time is split between my career and my son, where would anyone fit in?”
The This Morning presenter returns to TV this week for her brand new show, Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide with Josie Gibson, full of tips and hacks to make the big day as stress-free as possible.
