Jeff Brazier reveals he’s planning to propose to girlfriend of eight years Kate Dwyer and have more children as he credits new love with helping his sons through grief after Jade Goody’s death
JEFF Brazier has admitted he’s ready to take the next step with his girlfriend of eight years Kate Dwyer.
The 38-year-old wants to propose by the end of the year and is keen to have children with Kate.
He credits Kate for helping the boys deal with the grief of losing their mum, who died after a battle with cervical cancer in 2009 aged just 27.
Speaking about whether or next they would get married and have kids, Jeff told : “We've discussed it, it's going to happen. I think we're working our way to it.
“What's going to be exciting to me is seeing the kids as older brothers, they'll be incredible. And it'll teach them about other responsibilities for them.
“It'll be fantastic for me too, I'll get to experience parenting within a relationship and actually be married, because I haven't experienced that – not even as a child.
“It'll be like putting things on track, being a real human being who is married and has a child with someone that he loves and stays with.
“Not that I didn't love Jade, but to be with someone where the relationship blossoms and goes from strength to strength... it's what we all try to create.”
Jeff went on to say Freddie and Bobby had a “lovely” relationship with Kate, and admitted he wanted to pop the question by the end of the year.
He added: “It would take something quite cataclysmic to stop that being the case. That's big for me to say, I've never said that before, but I'm feeling really good about it all.”

Jeff made an effort to make sure that the two boys never forget their mum - and told Woman's Own that they “miss her most when things aren't going well.”
“We have Mum’s Day once a month, where we do a big activity and dedicate it to Jade. It’s my job to keep their account of memories of their mum topped up.
“Not all the stories about Jade are suitable – some magazines are in a drawer that will be available to them as adults if they should wish to view them.”
Jeff Brazier is taking part in the new Dolmio No Drama campaign, which highlights how a family favourite like spaghetti bolognese can bring families together and help diffuse dinnertime dramas.
