RTE Fair City star Gerard Jordan welcomes eighth child into world as he opens up on ‘difficulties' of having big family
RTE Fair City star Gerard Jordan has welcomed his eighth child into the world. The 34-year-old, who's best known for his role as Steo Nash in the hit soap, met his partner Jo 11 years ago and the pair both shared a dream of having a big family. Advertisement 2 Gerard Jordan stars as Steo Nash in Fair City Credit: RTE 2 Gerard has eight kids with his partner Credit: RTE Gerard told The Irish Independent: "I have always loved the idea of a full, lively house. The kind of place where there is always laughing or someone needing a snack or needing something.' The actor became a dad at just 25-years-old and said while it seems "young", he felt "very mature" and knew it was something himself and Jo both wanted. The pair now have eight children; Jasper, 10, Hugo, nine, River, seven, Sage, five, Saint, three, Zen, two, Enzo, one, and Halo, who is just 12 weeks old. The family-of-ten lives in the Liberties, Dublin. Advertisement read more on fair city As well as Gerard's glitzy showbiz job, he works for a company that sells credit card terminals. He explained: "I'm not back [in Fair City] until August so it's a big gap. You have to have something else going on because otherwise you would run out of money very quickly with eight kids." Gerard spoke about how himself and his partner make sure to budget "perfectly" for their big family by forward planning. He said: 'There's a lot of mouths to feed. There's a lot of outgoings with kids… with certain trips with school, and things that bubble up. So you have to have an 'emergency fund' packed away and ready to go."

He said: "You have to pay the bills and unfortunately with the acting stuff, it pays the bills when it's good, but when it's bad, you could be out of work for a year or six months… so I had to do something else." A look at tonight's episode of Fair City After several years, he was approached by the late DWTS judge Julian Benson who encouraged him to "get back in the game" - which he did and his kids love watching their daddy on the TV. The Dubliner also revealed he often gets double-takes from those passing him in the shops and are in disbelief at how many kids he has. Advertisement 'SHOCK' Gerard said: "I was in Lidl the other day and I was buying size five nappies and size six nappies, and this woman turned around and said, 'Oh, do you have many yourself?' And I told her, [and] she went, 'What! I have two. I couldn't imagine eight'. 'And then [other times] when we go out shopping, people would go, 'Are all these yours?'. Gerard said that the "initial" reaction for strangers is shock but once it wears off they remark that it's a "good thing" and that "it's really nice" to have a big family. He added: "If you are going to have a big family, you have to circle your life around the children.

The annual contest saw women from across the country compete for the title live on national television. The competition celebrated "cookery, nurturing, and basic household management skills" - but what was shown on screens didn't always reflect the reality of life for Irish women at the time.

Many recalled their direct experiences of marriage bars, lack of contraception, Magdalene laundries, financial vulnerability, boredom and shame, all while being contestants in the competition. From 1982 onwards, the competition aired on RTE and featured not just the contest itself but also footage of the women at home.
