For Julia Bradbury, the journey to motherhood wasn’t easy, but now she couldn’t imagine life without her three children. The presenter and nature enthusiast, 50, suffers from endometriosis and previously feared that she’d never be able to conceive.
However, at 41, she and partner Gerard Cunningham welcomed their son, Zephyrus, now nine, before undergoing numerous IVF attempts to conceive twin daughters Xanthe and Zena, now five.
‘It has been the most beautiful experience,’ reveals the former Countryfile host. ‘I feel incredibly blessed and very lucky that I’ve been able to enjoy motherhood. It’s no secret that I underwent IVF to have my girls and it’s very rewarding.’
Julia – who last year explored her roots in ITV series The Greek Islands – also reveals that her children have made her want to be a better person.
She explains, ‘You need to do everything you can to make sure that they have the best possible lives. I think it makes you less selfish and it definitely rounds off a lot of your “bad” bits!’
