Amy Childs accidentally revealed her son’s name in a recent interview after keeping the child out of the limelight for 18 months.
The reality star, 29, gushed about how much she loves being a mum as she told The Sun: ‘I love everything about being a mum.
‘My daughter’s getting older now she’s three now and she’s just absolutely amazing. She’s a girly girl, and my little boy, Rich, is amazing. He’s a lovely little boy.
‘Being a mum is the best thing I’ve ever done and I love it.’
Amy’s son is named after his father, Ritchie, who she split with in the summer after two years of dating.
She revealed that she had decided to keep her son out of the limelight to protect his privacy, explaining: ‘We decided to keep him out of the public eye.
‘It was something when I was pregnant that we decided to do, and obviously I put Polly on social media, but with my little boy we just decided not to.
‘It is hard because sometimes I just want to show him off, but at the same time we did decide it.’
As well as Rich, Amy also has a daughter called Polly who she shares with her ex, Bradley Wright, though he is currently in prison.
She and Bradley had been on and off for several years before breaking up for good in 2017, six weeks after Polly’s birth.
Amy revealed: ‘I want a stable family unit. I’m not looking for someone to be my kids’ dads because they have dads but yes I’m looking for someone who will take them on as their own.’
She added that her own father has been a father figure to her daughter: ‘It is hard. Polly’s dad is in prison. She doesn’t see him. Polly calls my dad ‘dad’.
‘My dad is the only father figure Polly has known. I went to Turkey with my mum and dad and Polly kept calling me mum and my dad, ‘dad’.
‘It was so strange. Everyone kept thinking me and my dad were together. It was weird. But at the same time my dad is an amazing dad.’
