Our love is very real... we want to have 8 kids
.. well Joey Essex says eight but girlfriend Jessy Potts wants four
EXCLUSIVE AFTER becoming the most talkedabout Love Island contestant ever, Joey Essex is settled back into what was once his bachelor pad.
The 34-year-old Towie legend left his five-bedroom house a single man but then he met Jessy Potts during his stint on the 11th series of the ITV dating show and everything changed.
He is now loved-up with “exclusive”
JOEY ESSEX girlfriend Jessy and they are already making serious plans for the future.
Joey says: “We’ve already spoken about kids. We both want a big family.
“But we’re having a bit of a tiff at the moment. She wants four, I want eight. Imagine how great that would be? “I’m ready. I’d do it tomorrow. “Maybe even tonight.”
The couple left the Love Island villa hours before the live final, after being voted the “least compatible” couple by their fellow islanders.
Their savage departure came after accusations that Joey had been faking his feelings for 25-year-old Jessy, and was just playing games.
But Joey insists the relationship is genuine. He tells OK! magazine: “If anyone focused on just me and Jessy as a couple, and not all the other drama, you’d see we were very genuine.
“From the minute I met Jessy, I never looked any other way.
“We took our time, had fun and enjoyed each other’s company. We weren’t in it to win it. We just wanted to be together.”
Leicester-born Jessy is not fazed by the scepticism around Joey’s motives and has the full support of her family.
She says: “From what they’ve seen, they like him.” She’s also not worried about Joey’s wandering eye. She says: “I completely trust him.”
Joey hinted recently that he’d had his fill of reality TV but that might change.
He says: “The Jessy and Joey Show? There’s nothing else to do.”

As Brat summer continues, Charli XCX is set to land a No.1 with her single Guess, featuring Billie Eilish.
The singer’s album Brat sparked the trend for party girls showing they are enjoying the summer with unashamedly raucous nights out.
So it was fitting that Charli celebrated her 31st birthday in typically Brat style, wearing micro hotpants. Guests at the bash in Los Angeles included actress Anya Taylor-joy, collaborator Billie – who sang Guess with her at the DJ booth – another collaborator Lorde and a bunch of other Brats.
