MUM'S THE WORD
Caprice reveals her four-year-old sons still believe they’re twins – despite one being born by surrogate
CAPRICE has admitted she hasn't told her two sons that they are not actually twins, despite giving them the same birthday.
The American businesswoman and model, 46, revealed on Lorraine today she is yet to drop the bombshell to four-year-old Jett and Jax who were actually born three weeks apart - one naturally by her and another via a surrogate.

Appearing on the ITV morning show, the star opened up about the dilemma she faces telling the close brothers how they were born at different times, despite being so close in age.
Caprice told host Lorraine Kelly: "They are sort of like twins - born three weeks apart. Eventually I'll tell them. Gosh they are so cute."
While they are both her and her husband Ty Comfort's biological children, each son arrived into the world in different circumstances.
One was born via a surrogate after his parents initially struggled to conceive.

However, just a month after their surrogate became pregnant, Caprice realised she had also become pregnant naturally.
Caprice revealed she also kept her sons in the dark about her life-threatening brain tumour.
Recalling seeing her sons after her operation, she said: "I told them my bandages were a hat. They said I want that hat too, and I replied not this kind of hat."
In February 2017, Caprice discovered she had a brain tumour after Channel 4 bosses encouraged her to be seen by doctors on TV show The Jump after she complained about headaches and blurred vision.

She told : “The Jump saved my life. I had headaches that were not going away and my vision was beginning to act up so the show’s production insisted I see their doctor.”
In April last year Caprice broke down on Loose Women as she recalled going under a seven-and-a-half hour operation to stop the tumour and revealed she found it hard to say goodbye to her young sons.

She said: “I started to break down and cried hysterically. I said: ‘Am I going to die?’"
“I didn’t know if it was cancerous, I was in the dark. I had my body scanned again and the doctor said it is benign but it’s a grower.”

She explained: “I told the boys I was going away for work. I didn’t know if I was going to see them again.”
Caprice told the all-female panel that she initially kept the news a secret.
She said: “I was such a pillar of strength because I thought this was the right thing for my family.”
