Updated 02:54am on 10 Jun 2008



Ulrika Jonsson has given birth to her fourth child, it was announced yesterday.

Malcolm Monet, brother to Cameron, 13, Bo, seven, and Martha, four - all born to different fathers - arrived on Saturday night weighing 10lb.

'I'm delighted and hope my family is now complete!' said Miss Jonsson.

Ulrika has finally given birth to her fourth child - a son Malcolm - by a fourth father

The television presenter, 40, married for the third time when she wed advertising executive Brian Monet in a secret ceremony in March this year.

The pair met in Sweden two years ago and he moved into her Berkshire home before proposing last August.

However, the Swedish star is no stranger to controversy when in comes to her private life and she was unflatteringly labelled a '4X4' after announcing her pregnancy in October last year.

Jonsson's first child, Cameron, was the product of her five-year marriage to cameraman John Turnbull.

She has daughter Bo from her short-lived relationship with German hotel boss Markus Kempen and another daughter, Martha, by second husband Lance Gerrard-Wright, whom she met on her TV show Mr Right.

However, the former weather girl has hit back at critics in the past saying: "I don't give any thought to the fact that I will have four children by four fathers.

'I have three amazing, beautiful children. The fact that relationships with their fathers didn't work is not solely my responsibility.

'I never had my life planned out - obviously - but I had always dreamed of having lots of children at my feet and rather cherished the idea of a large family."

She defended her actions claiming she was picked on because she was a woman and pointed to stars such as Rod Stewart who has been married three times and has seven children.

She has also had high-profile relationships with former England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, Gladiators star James 'Hunter' Crossley and footballer Stan Collymore.

Mr Monet, whom she jokingly calls her 'toyboy', was previously married to another Swede and moved from the US to live with her 15 years ago.

The marriage lasted seven years but produced no children.

A spokesman for the couple said that Mr Monet, 39, was 'in awe of his son and looking forward to celebrating his first Father's Day.'

What is the media obsession with the "four by different fathers" so what! Life happens like that for some women.
