Baby joy: Jools and Jamie Oliver, with daughters Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo at the London premiere of Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince last year, are expecting another child to add to their broodHe already has three beautiful daughters. But Jamie Oliver has made no secret of his desire to have a boy.
Yesterday it was clear that the celebrity chef had wasted little time in trying to make his wish come true.
Eleven months after third daughter Petal Blossom Rainbow arrived, Oliver and his wife Jools revealed that they have another child on the way.
Blossoming family: The happy parents just days after little Petal's birth in April last yearThey said in a statement: 'Jamie and Jools Oliver are delighted to announce that they are expecting their fourth child.' The baby is due in September.
Names could be interesting if it does turn out to be a boy as the couple have a fondness for ones with a floral theme.
Petal's sisters are called Poppy Honey, who is coming up to her eighth birthday, and Daisy Boo, who will be seven next month.
Mrs Oliver, 34, a model and writer, suffers from polycystic ovaries and had her first child through IVF but conceived naturally for her second and third.
Her husband, also 34, has previously said he would consider adopting a boy.
When his wife was pregnant with Petal, he said: "It would be great to have a boy, as I am in a totally oestrogen-filled house. But I really don't mind as long as it's healthy.'
He joked that he needs another man in the home as 'back-up' when he gets bossed around by the girls.
Oliver has also spoken of how motherhood was always his wife's greatest ambition.
He said: 'She just wanted to be a mother and that was it. I didn't understand at all. Why would you want to be a mother? We all want to have jobs and careers, don't we?
'Everyone around me was the same. Until she became a mother, I never understood how honest she was being. She's a mum and that's her world.'
Oliver also told how the couple, who will celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary in June, reviewed their childcare schedule once the children arrived to give his wife some rest at weekends.
Sharing the good news: Jamie posted this message on TwitterHe said: 'I used to work seven days a week until Poppy was born. Then Jools said: "Right, Mondays to Friday are yours, the weekend's mine".'
The chef, who is thought to be worth £40million through his five restaurants, books, advertising deals and TV shows, added somewhat honestly: 'Anyone looking after three kids knows it's hard. Being rich makes it easier.'
