Shaughna Phillips, known for her appearance on Love Island, has shared details about her family life with boyfriend Billy Webb and their two daughters, Lucia, three, and Sophia, nine months. Phillips detailed the unconventional start to her motherhood journey, noting that she welcomed Lucia while Webb was in prison and became pregnant with Sophia during his day release.
Webb was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2023 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine. He was released after serving 12 months from a Category D prison, a low-security facility that permits day releases for inmates. This early release allowed Webb to be present for the birth of their second child, Sophia. Phillips mentioned that Webb is now actively making up for lost time with Lucia.
"They're like two peas in a pod, and he often says he can't believe he missed this with Lucia," Phillips told the Daily Mail. "He didn't know what he was missing at the time, but now he's got something to compare it to." She added that Lucia is devoted to her father and unaware of his past absence.
Despite previously stating she was finished having children after Sophia's birth, Phillips revealed that she and Webb are now considering a third child. She humorously noted that she has an IUD, preventing impulsive decisions, but acknowledged a shift in her perspective after realizing Sophia would soon no longer be a baby. She anticipates having another girl if they were to have another child, as both she and Webb identify as "girl parents."
Their immediate focus, however, is on renovating their home, which has also postponed any plans for marriage. Phillips joked that Webb cannot afford the ring she desires while their house is still undergoing renovations. She emphasized that their children have created a strong commitment between them, stating, "Without kids, we could get engaged, married, and split up within a month; with kids, you're in it together."
Phillips also discussed her post-partum fitness journey, attending the gym three times a week and following a fitness plan. She admitted that her diet is a significant challenge. She has been sharing her progress on social media without filters and stated that online criticism does not bother her significantly, given past personal hardships, including the death of her father.
Reflecting on her Love Island experience, Phillips advised aspiring contestants to approach the show with realistic expectations, focusing on having a good experience rather than aiming for significant fame or financial gain. She stressed the importance of a strong support network of family and friends for navigating the pressures associated with the show.
