Ruth explained: "Eamonn's very close to his children and I was very aware when I had Jack that they didn't feel pushed out. [...] 'As soon as she has that baby that'll be us and Dad won't want to see us or know us'. [...] Jack, although he didn't grow up with his older two brothers and sister ... they're so close. He turns to them for advice and they talk all the time. It's so lovely and I think that's because we maintained this kind of very civil, friendly ... y'know I never tried to be their mother, that's the other thing as well."
