The UK's largest family, Sue and Noel Radford, stars of Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting, now have 13 grandchildren as their older children start families of their own. Sue has confirmed there are no plans for a 23rd child, stating "no, definitely not now".
The couple first became known as Britain's most populous family in 2012 when they featured in the original Channel 4 series 15 Kids and Counting. Since then, they have welcomed more children, with their youngest and 22nd child Heidi arriving in April 2020. As several of their children have grown up and begun families, the Radford clan continues to expand each year.
The Next Generation of Radfords
Their eldest daughter Sophie has three children: Daisy Mae, 14, Ayprill Louise, 12, and 10-year-old Leo Thomas. Their firstborn, Chris, who opts not to appear in the Channel 5 series, also has three children: nine-year-old Maisie-Paige, seven-year-old Jacob Colin, and five-year-old Oaklyn Nicholas.
Their third eldest daughter Millie has four children with husband Harley Passmore: Ophelia Jo, six, Chester Bleu, four, Elodie Jade, three, and Cooper-Jax, who was born just last month. Chloe, the second eldest daughter, is a mother to two children, Mila Eloise, four, and one-year-old Bodhi Reign. The eighth eldest child and fourth daughter, Katie, has a son, two-year-old Ronnie Hudson.
Growing Family Circle
Chris also has four step-children from his wife Nicole Spencer's previous relationships. Their names are Bailey, Ethan, Albie, and Tobias.
When asked about the possibility of having more children, Sue confirmed no plans for a 23rd, stating "no, definitely not now". She added: "We're definitely enjoying the kids getting older, and it's lovely being grandparents. We were thinking about this at the weekend because it's so lovely having children and grandchildren of similar ages as well, and watching them grow up in the bonds that they have."
22 Kids and Counting airs every Sunday at 8pm on Channel 5.
