‘Harry Is Terrible On No Sleep!'

Izzy and Harry Judd chat to new about the highs and lows of parenthood and their plans for Father’s Day

Harry and Izzy Judd are counting their blessings. The couple, who are refreshingly open about the fertility struggles they faced after getting married in 2012, are now parents to daughter Lola, four, and son Kit, two.

Their dream became a reality with the help of IVF but, despite their joy, Izzy’s past struggles with anxiety resurfaced with the pressures of parenthood – something Harry was able to empathise with after battling his own demons at the height of his McFly fame.

The couple met in 2005 when musician Izzy was playing violin on McFly’s Wonderland tour. And when we catch up with them for a chat, they are as frank as ever, with Harry admitting the daily routine with two little ones can be “intense”. But he adds, “Parents of teenagers remind me it goes by so quickly, so I know we’ll only look back on the good things.”

The pair tell us the past few months haven’t been too different from their usual life. “We’re used to having time together. Because of the nature of our work, we’re always in and out,” Izzy says. “I’m used to his dishwasher antics!”

Here, Harry, 34, and Izzy, 36, chat about how having kids changed their relationship and play dates with the other McFly offspring…

Have you enjoyed spending more time with the kids lately?
