Steps star Ian ‘H’ Watkins on single parenting ‘hell’ after split from partner

The Celebrity Escape to the Country star Ian H Watkins welcomed his sons via surrogacy in 2016 and split from his ex Craig Ryder in 2017.

In one of his previous interviews, Ian opened up about the challenges of a single parent and why he didn’t hire a nanny to take care of his twins even though he could afford to. He said those who pride themselves on “beautiful voile curtains and white bedspreads ” or “tidy playrooms and immaculate children”, probably have hired help in the form of nannies, PR team and social media managers. When he flexes his creative muscles in his art studio, such as while “painting a landscape”, Macsen and Cybi are by his side “getting messy with their crayons.” Too cute, isn’t it?
