Gemma shared: “We’d like Thiago to be involved now so we’re going to have to wait another year or so.”, reports the Mirror. When we first got engaged we said we’ll get Mia walking down the aisle and then Thiago came along… and there’s no time! ”
The star confessed that she and Gorka haven’t even nailed down what sort of wedding bash they’re after. She went on to say: “We were toying with just going to a registry office and then having a big party after. But I think my mum would like to see me walk down the aisle so no plans yet but one day it will happen.”

Gemma also opened up about life with their new baby, saying it’s “twice the chaos” but equally “twice the love”. She added: “I think we’re doing alright. Everyone said twice the stress, twice the exhaustion, but it’s also twice the love and twice the lovely chaos.”
“We know Thiago is our last baby because we’ve been blessed with a boy and a girl. And you get to relive Mia through him again, although he’s his own person. Gorka was feeding him last night in his rocking chair and he said it reminded him of when Mia was like that, because we’re never going to get this stage again. So, we’re just trying to soak this in more and appreciate it.”

“He’s definitely slotted in, and I think you’re a lot more chilled with the second because you know you can do it. I guess you’re tired and knackered, but you were anyway! And Mia’s a fantastic sister. She’s so hands on with Thiago.”
“We were a bit late for school today and she’d forgotten to give him a kiss, so she had to run back in the house and give him a kiss before we left. So, we’re very lucky. It’s like a nice little complete family with chaos. Two kids, two dogs and a Spaniard! “.
