The eldest children are 15-year-old Taylor, who is “as sporty as they come” and university student Megan, 20.
Apart from Megan, they will all need a new school and have only ever known life in Leicester.
Despite their fame and fortune, Rebekah insists they are a “normal family”. She adds: “I’m just a normal mum, just like everyone else.”
Rebekah goes on: “Jamie and I have been together for nearly 12 years. We have five kids but if you include Jamie in that, it makes six!”
Speaking about her eldest two, Rebekah adds: “Taylor and Megs are from previous relationships, but Jamie has literally stepped up and is like a dad to both of them.”
Who are the dads of Rebekah Vardy’s eldest two children?
Rebekah had her eldest daughter Megan with her former partner, an electrician called Mark, in 2005. She was 23 years old when she became a mum for the first time.
The couple split soon after.
According to reports, Megan’s birth surname was Nicholson. This was Rebekah’s maiden name. In 2016, Megan legally changed her surname to Vardy and Jamie went on to legally adopt her as his own.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Jamie is so excited. He already plays the role of Megan’s dad and she refers to him as Daddy – but making it legally binding will make it extra special.
“The adoption process only began last month and there is a lot of paperwork ahead but the whole family know it will be worth it. It will bring them closer together than ever.”
Taylor, meanwhile, also has a different father to his siblings. Rebekah welcomed her son during a relationship with former lower league footballer, Luke Foster.
Rebekah and Luke were engaged, but they split six years into their relationship. Luke now works as a property developer and is believed to still be in his son Taylor’s life.
