Abbey Clancy, 40, has stated she "really wants another baby" with her husband Peter Crouch, 45, but expressed concerns about being "too old" for another child. The couple, who married in 2011, already have four children: Sophia Ruby, 15, Liberty Rose, 11, Johnny, eight, and Jack, seven.
During an episode of their podcast, The Therapy Crouch, Clancy shared her desire for a larger family, saying, "We're suckers for the old kids malarky, we love it don't we? I really want another baby but you won't let me. I'm too old but I'd love a newborn..." Crouch humorously responded, "We'll be grandparents soon!"
Clancy noted that if they were to have another child, she would need to conceive quickly due to her age, anticipating being around 43 when the baby was born. She drew a parallel to her own mother, who had her sister at age 40.
In previous discussions on their podcast, Clancy has spoken about societal perceptions of women at age 40, feeling that they can become "invisible." She remarked on how men often seem to age more gracefully in the public eye, questioning why wrinkles on women's faces are viewed negatively.
"My friend Liberty is coming on and she's 54 and I'm 40 and we were talking about how you become invisible at 40," Clancy said. "You know, for a lot of people, they do feel a bit overlooked and can lose confidence. We're still alive and still want to be romanced and have fun and live life to the full."
Clancy also touched upon the differing societal standards for aging between men and women, stating, "But men age so much better than women. You don't go to a man, 'oh my God, he's so wrinkly'. You know, society says that about women. Why aren't we allowed to have wrinkles on our face?"
She also joked about Crouch approaching 50, remarking, "I can't believe I'm going to have a 50 year old husband soon. Four years." He retorted, "Er five years."
The podcast has also featured lighter moments, such as an episode where Clancy admitted to becoming "absolutely p****d" during a wine-tasting session with Crouch and a friend. The tasting involved various wines, and Clancy's enjoyment led to her becoming inebriated, prompting a jest from Crouch about the session taking a "turn."
