James Maddison expecting fifth child as partner pregnant with twins again
James Maddison already shares three children with partner Kennedy Alexa and now the Tottenham star has announced a second set of twins are on the way during an emotional post while on holiday
Tottenham star James Maddison has announced he and partner Kennedy Alexa are expecting a second set of twins, as they prepare to welcome a fourth and fifth child.
The England international already has three children, son Leo - born in 2021 - and twins Delilah and Rome, who arrived back in 2023.
Now Maddison's girlfriend Alexa has declared "bring on the chaos" as she posted an emotional video of the entire family on the beach while on holiday, holding baby scan photos and revealing her bump.
Maddison himself is then seen writing "twins again" in the sand alongside another message that said: "Maddison twins part 2". The odds of conceiving twins twice are thought to be around one in 50,000.
The playmaker posted the video on his Instagram story to his two million followers, with the caption: "Huge surprise to share with you all..."
The clip was liked by a number of his Tottenham team-mates, with Dominic Solanke writing: "Beautiful chaos!" while Pedro Porro and Mickey van de Ven both replied with heart in eyes emojis.
Meanwhile, England team-mates Jordan Henderson also wrote a message on the post, saying: "Congrats sheriff," while Jack Grealish said: "Congrats both. Unbelievable."
Alexa had only just celebrated Father's Day with Maddison as she shared another moving post hailing her partner. She said: "Happy Father's Day to the most incredible daddy!!! Me and the kids are so lucky to have you. So lucky we get to watch these little babies grow together. We love you so much."
It comes during a memorable period for Maddison, who won the first trophy of his Tottenham career last month after lifting the Europa League after a famous 1-0 win over Manchester United.
Alexa was there to see his triumph, despite Maddison being injured for the game, as she joined him for the pitchside celebrations and posted a picture of the pair smiling with his winners' medal.
She wrote: "What a wild ride! Words cannot express how proud I am of @madders & the team Day we will never forget, you make us so proud!!! COYS."
Maddison has been dating model Alexa since 2020 before first child Leo arrived a year later.

Love Island legend shares dirty villa bathroom secrets girls had to go through
EXCLUSIVE: Love Island alumni Malin Andersson is not a fan of the current series and has shared a few behind-the-scenes secrets from her time on the ITV2 dating show Love Island alum Malin Andersson, who appeared on the show back in 2016 for their second series, is not holding back when it comes to her thoughts on the current series. Now 32, the body positivity campaigner and mental health advocate says she watches the new Islanders with a very different lens. 'I'm 32 so I'm a similar age to them on there,' she says, 'but I can see through it all completely now.' Malin, who famously left the villa after being dumped on day 25 has since distanced herself from the Love Island world. 'I don't talk to any Islanders at all,' she admits. 'The girls lower their bar because of the show and that's what makes it toxic. They're not understanding their worth.' She's also not afraid to share some unfiltered behind-the-scenes secrets. 'I was constipated at one point in the villa because I held it in for ages,' she laughs. ' Olivia Buckland [now Bowen] did the same. We used to go on poo watch and made sure no guys were near the toilet. One of us would guard, and Cara De La Hoyde [now Massey] helped.' Though she doesn't stay in touch with former castmates, Malin clearly remembers the realities behind the glam – and wants this year's Islanders to remember their value. 'It's easy to get lost in the show,' she says. 'But you've got to know your worth.' Last week, Malin spoke out about hitting "rock bottom" after her time on the ITV2 dating show and called for it to be axed. "Love Island. It starts tonight...I'm quite shocked this show is still on air to be honest," she said in an emotional statement on her Instagram Stories. "I was on it 8 years ago, and in that 8 years I've turned pain into purpose and used my platform for good. Within the 8 years that have passed I've had to hit rockbottom to find a strength I never knew I had - and awaken to the truth of who we are. "However what young Malin didn't know was, how dangerous a show like this is - portraying toxicity as love, unrealistic body standards and women who maybe broken inside but wanting love for the wrong reasons - and thinking fame will save them.. and as for the men - similar things." Malin added that she wants a show that helps contestants"find love for ourselves first" before finding it in someone else. She added: "We don't need a show making women especially feel bad about themselves - or fuelling eating disorders. That's outdated now. It's not it." ITV has introduced extensive duty of care procedures during the show's run, with contestants being offered comprehensive psychological support before, during and after filming on the show. They are also asked to pause any posting to their social media accounts while they're on the show and to complete video training and guidance on language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, microaggressions, mutually respectful behaviour in relationships and behaviour patterns associated with controlling and coercing behaviour. The new series of Love Island began last week with a new line-up of singles stepping into the ITV2 villa and there has already been two shock dumpings and six bombshells.

Man United target Mbeumo speaks out on Thomas Frank's departure
Bryan Mbeumo has publicly addressed transfer speculation linking him to Manchester United and Tottenham after a season where he scored 20 goals for Brentford. Manchester United's initial offer of £45m plus £10m in add-ons was rejected, while Tottenham has intensified their pursuit following the appointment of ex-Brentford boss Thomas Frank. The 25-year-old praised Thomas Frank's impact on his development as both a player and a person, highlighting Frank's tactical intelligence and ability to build a strong team dynamic. The forward acknowledged the transfer speculation as part of football life, reflecting on his best Premier League season and Brentford's near miss in chasing a European spot. Manchester United are reportedly preparing a second bid for Mbeumo, while Tottenham hopes Frank's presence and Champions League football will give them an advantage.

Laura Anderson makes brutal Father's Day dig at ex Gary Lucy
Laura Anderson has taking a very public swipe at her ex, Hollyoaks star Gary Lucy Laura Anderson has taken a savage swipe at her ex Gary Lucy, who she shares her one-year-old daughter Bonnie with. Yesterday on Sunday (June 15) millions of dads across the UK were celebrated on Father's Day. However, many others find the day to be a difficult one for numerous reasons and the Love Island star sadly appeared to fall into that bracket over the weekend. Taking to her Instagram stories to share an obvious dig at Bonnie's dad, she uploaded a short clip of her giving the camera a sarcastic thumbs up, as she wrote: "Cheers to the single mums who feel sh*t for their kids on Father's Day." The former Capital Scotland host welcomed Bonnie in September 2023. Laura and Gary, who met on Celebs Go Dating, had a tumultuous relationship and shocked fans when they announced their split just days after Laura revealed she was pregnant. The former couple have had an off and off relationship since but it appears they are now officially on bad terms with Laura even branding Gary, who has four other children with his ex-wife, as a "deadbeat dad". Gary appeared to reignite his feud with the Love Island star after warning that "dads matter". The 43 year old made the veiled dig while sharing a throwback video of himself and his son Theodore, six. Gary was filmed in a restaurant beside Theodore and they could be seen giggling about "spicy" food together. The actor then gently grabbed his son's cheeks and said: "Look at that face, that gorgeous face.." The clip finished with Gary giving Theodore a kiss. Gary shared the video on Instagram but also seemed to have taken a swipe at Laura in the process. Laura has not held back in the past when it comes to taking aim at Gary over how often he sees their daughter. Reigniting the row, he captioned the footage: "Good enough to eat … Gorgeous Boy #dadsmatter." Picking up on the subtle dig, one follower replied: "Thought you had a girl with Laura..?" Laura has since moved on with her new Scots boyfriend, Clark Robertson, who plays for Dundee Football Club. The Love Island star went public with her new beau, who originally hails from Aberdeen, in October last year and is said to be hopeful he is the one. Clark, 31, has two children of his own, his eight-year-old son Cole and a five-year-old daughter named Mimi, who he shares with his ex fiancé Karla Ray. Laura and Bonnie recently moved into a luxurious new mansion which boasts an enormous garden and gorgeous coastal views. The reality star gave fans a walk through tour of her new pad but she has been careful to keep the exact location of it under wraps. It is also not known whether or not Clark has officially moved in with the mum and daughter but Laura definitely has the space to accommodate him in the future in her huge new home.
