Motherhood Made Rochelle Humes Miss Her Father

Rochelle Humes has spoken of her life without a father figure, saying she didn't understand the importance until she had her own children with husband Marvin Humes.

The TV presenter has Alai-Mai, six, and two-year-old Valentina Raine and was raised solely by her mother Roz Wiseman.

In an interview with You magazine, she said: "Having a dad was just something I never knew. I didn't realise how much I was missing until I got married and had children of my own and saw how much their dad means to my girls."

The former Saturdays singer has never reunited with her father Mark Piper, but did recently meet her half-sisters Lili, 23, and Sophie, 20, as well as half-brother Jake, 23, for the first time.

Reflecting on the family get together, Rochelle said: "Meeting up with them felt like the missing piece of the puzzle. When we sat down, all I could think was that my dad must have some pretty strong DNA because it wasn't just the way my sisters looked, it was the way they spoke, the way they moved - everything about them I recognised from myself.

"They always felt bad because they'd had my father in their lives but I told them I didn't want them to feel that.

"They were my brother and sisters and we didn't need to involve parents. We told our daughters Alaia and Vali they had two more aunts and an uncle. It's become a bigger family, which has been wonderful."
