BBC Sport presenter Gabby Logan has revealed that her daughter was shocked by an admission in her autobiography. Gabby, 53, shares 21-year-old fraternal twins Lois and Reuben with her husband Kenny Logan, 54, a former professional rugby player.
Daughter's reaction to cheating confession
Speaking to the Times, Gabby said her daughter Lois was far from pleased when she discovered Gabby had been unfaithful to a boyfriend while at university. Gabby said: "My daughter was very upset with me when she read in my book that I cheated on my boyfriend at university. She was horrified."
Despite this, Gabby felt it was important for her daughter to know this about her, as it gave Lois a fuller picture of her mother. She added: "A lot has not gone the way I would have wanted it to in my life, and it was good for her to understand that."
Family reactions to public disclosures
This is not the first time Gabby has mentioned that her children have been surprised by intimate details shared publicly. In a separate interview with the Times, Gabby said her children sent her a two-word message after she and Kenny, whom she married in 2001 after meeting in 1998, discussed their sex life on the Midpoint podcast they co-host.
She told the publication: "When Kenny and I did a Midpoint podcast episode about his prostate cancer, my kids found it toe-curling because we talked about our sex life. I'd get messages on our family WhatsApp, like, 'Enough now'."
Proposed move to France
Gabby also disclosed her family's astonishment when she briefly floated the idea of relocating to France for a year. Speaking on the Second Act with Ateh Jewel podcast, she recalled: "I remember coming down for breakfast once when the kids were about 10 and I said, 'Guys, I've had this really crazy idea but I think it could be really good. Let's go live in France for a year.'
"[I told them] 'the kids can learn French and I'll commute to work.' And honestly, you'd have thought that I had suggested we all join a commune in Ukraine or something."
The household ultimately remained in the UK, with the proposed French move never materialising.
