Jeff Brazier has said he is working to become a 'better man' following a difficult year that saw his marriage end and tensions with his sons. The 46-year-old reality star split from Kate Dwyer, 35, in the summer, though the breakup was only confirmed last month.
Family drama also unfolded after Jeff feuded with his son Freddy Brazier, 21, over time spent with grandmother Jackiey Budden, mother of the late Jade Goody. His other son, Bobby Brazier, 22, has reportedly distanced himself amid the tensions.
In a Boxing Day Instagram post, Jeff reflected on his personal growth, writing: 'I'm used to carrying the heavy stuff and I honestly believe I can do that and thrive at the same time. Life will always push and pull it's just at this point, the lessons are only making me more resourced and capable.'
He added: 'I'm at the point of pure gratitude for the tough stuff because it has shown me how to become truly safe for anyone that needs me and that's the man I want to be.'
Jeff also hinted at reconciliation with his sons in a Christmas Day message, saying they shared the day with his mother and brother. Last month, he confirmed the split from Kate, praising her as 'each others safe space' and noting they 'gave everything and more' over 12 years of marriage.
