Celebrity Gogglebox star Denise Van Outen has revealed she won’t be expanding her brood with boyfriend Eddie Boxshall but a wedding may still be happening.
TV presenter Denise and Eddie met six years ago through mutual friends, and while the pair are now living together, the couple have been taking things slow for the sake of Betsy, Denise’s 10-year-old daughter who she shares with ex Lee Mead.
Meanwhile, Eddie has two children from a previous marriage.
During a recent interview with OK! Magazine, the Celebrity Gogglebox star admitted Eddie previously wanted to have a child, but she now confessed she thinks the time has passed.

“Well, that ship has sailed now! About three years ago we had a chat and said, ‘If it happens, it happens’,” she began.
In 2018, Denise sold her 17th Century Kent farmhouse, and moved in with Eddie in Essex.
“But since then we’ve moved into our house and we both want to enjoy this next chapter of our lives as we are.
“Betsy’s still young enough that we get to enjoy the fun kid things with her. And we’re excited for the future.”
Eddie, who works as a commodities trader, revealed he’s happy with the current set-up, explaining: “I’ve got kids of my own and Betsy feels like my daughter, too.”
Despite not having children, the couple share their own “furry baby” as Denise added: “That’s why we got our French Bulldog Tilly. She’s our furry baby!
“And Eddie’s kids are grown-up so, in a few years, we’ll have grandchildren staying over at our house.”

While children may not be on the cards, a possible popping of the question could well happen.
Denise laughed: “I don’t know, we’ll see [laughs]. We’ve always said we’d never rule it out.
“It’s not something we’ve spoken about much because we’ve taken everything in our relationship at a slower pace.”
