One of UK's first gay dads welcomes baby girl with daughter's ex-boyfriend

One of the UK's first gay dads has welcomed a baby girl with his daughter's ex-boyfriend.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 55, made the announcement on his Instagram account and share a picture of the new baby he shares with 25-year-old Scott Hutchinson.

The couple met when Scott was dating his oldest daughter Saffron, 20 and the pair revealed they were expecting a baby of their own in March this year.

"We feel totally blessed x I love you Scott."

"The most amazing gift anyone can receive congratulations," said another.

Another added: "Congratulations to you all, a beautiful name for a much loved baby. Welcome into the world Valentina Willow. You are surrounded by many loved ones with your brother and sisters. Look forward to your pictures whilst growing day by day."

Barrie first made headlines more than two decade when he and husband Tony, 55, welcomed twins, Saffron and Aspen through a surrogate.

The couple went on to have three more children, Orlando, Jasper and Dallas, before setting up their own surrogacy company.

The couple hit the headlines again last year when it was revealed they had split up, and Barrie had started a relationship with Saffron;s former boyfriend, Scott.

The whole family made the unconventional decision to remain living together in their Florida mansion with Tony publicly supporting their relationship and their desire to have more children.
