JUGGLING your newborn and other responsibilities can be a lot without having two other tots under four to take care of. Mum-of-three Poppy Hollins shared an insight into her life five months after giving birth to her son Reggie. Speaking on the NewlyWeds podcast, the influencer was joined by husband Jay Porter to discuss their lives, including what it's like raising three young children.

Poppy, 29, joked about how she and Jay, her childhood sweetheart, are now outnumbered by their kids. "So many people said: ‘The third will just slot in, you won’t even know he’s there’ well, they’re lying," she told hosts Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo.

"When there’s two, there’s one each, now we don’t have enough hands.". Jay agreed, explaining that they had been struggling to "balance normal life" on top of parenting, explaining "that it's a lot harder than we thought.". He also credited the "good team" they have helping them keep on top of everything, including their editors, PA, and cleaner who also "helps with a bit of nannying.".

"We’ve got a good team behind us and we still really struggle to find time to do anything," he said. And while both parents said four-year-old Rosa is "quite a good age," they described Frankie, two, as "feral.". They explained that Rosa is "such a good girl" who "just gets on with things" and understands that her baby brother is "delicate.".
