Amy Childs: Children, Partner, Net Worth, and Health (2025)

Arthur Clarke Bennett • 2026-10-13 • Reviewed by Oliver Bennett

If you’ve kept up with British reality TV over the past decade and a half, Amy Childs hardly needs an introduction. The Essex personality first popped up on our screens in 2010 as an original cast member of The Only Way Is Essex and quickly became one of its most recognisable faces (Closer). Yet the public version of Amy — glam squads, pink boutiques, and perfectly contoured cheekbones — only tells half the story. The other half involves four children, a rarely seen son, a 2025 wedding, and a home burglary that briefly pushed her offline in 2026.

Born: 7 June 1990 ·
Occupation: Reality TV star, model, businesswoman ·
Known for: The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE)

Does Amy Childs have four children?

Yes. Reports from multiple outlets put Childs’s family at four children: an elder daughter, a son, and one set of twins (Mother&Baby). The names public reporting consistently uses are Polly, Ritchie, and twins Amelia and Billy. Her eldest daughter Polly was born in 2017.

How many baby fathers does Amy Childs have?

  • Polly’s father is publicly identified as builder Bradley Wright (Heart).
  • Ritchie’s father is generally identified only by the first name Ritchie and described as a businessman (Heart).
  • Billy Delbosq is the father of the twins (Mother&Baby).

So the public record points to three fathers across four children, although Childs has never released an official family breakdown.

Is Amy Childs still with her twins’ dad?

Childs is married to Billy Delbosq, the father of her twins. They began dating in 2021, welcomed twins on 6 April 2023, and got engaged after the twins were born (Mother&Baby). Earlier coverage suggested wedding plans had been postponed, yet later reporting in 2025 described an intimate London ceremony.

The pattern

Childs’s relationship timeline mirrors a wider reality-TV pattern: a very public romance, a quick engagement after children, and a wedding that takes longer than fans expect. The 2025 marriage, though, closed that loop.

Does Amy Childs daughter see her dad?

Polly’s father, Bradley Wright, is part of the public record, but Childs rarely shares details about custody arrangements (Heart). By the standards of tabloid coverage, the fact that Wright’s name is publicly attached to Polly yet his presence is absent from Childs’s social media suggests a co-parenting setup kept deliberately away from the cameras.

Does Amy Childs have a disabled child?

There is no public reporting to support that claim. The verified public record lists four children, and none of the mainstream coverage suggests any of them has a disability. Claims about a disabled child appear to be internet speculation rather than documented fact.

How old are Amy Childs twins now?

The twins were born on 6 April 2023, so they are two years old as of 2025 (Mother&Baby). Their fuller names are reported as Amelia Mae and Billy River (Entertainment Daily).

The takeaway: Childs’s family tree is more complex than a typical celebrity profile, but the core facts are consistent across sources. What varies is tone, not substance.

The pattern: Childs’s family structure is complex but well-documented across multiple sources, with consistent naming and timeline details.

Why does Amy Childs never show her son Ritchie?

Strictly speaking, she does not show him frequently. Ritchie was born on 1 September 2018 (Heart), and while his name and birth date are public, he appears far less often in Childs’s social media than her daughters or the twins. The likely reasons are privacy and a protective instinct, neither of which Childs has fully explained on the record.

Does Amy Childs son Ritchie live with her?

Public coverage consistently describes Ritchie as part of Childs’s household, and she has spoken about her children as a unit without suggesting any of them lives elsewhere. The absence of details about his father — the media only use the first name Ritchie and describe him as a businessman (Heart) — points toward a custody or privacy arrangement that Childs has chosen not to publicise.

The catch

Every child in Childs’s life is a public fact, but Ritchie is the one fans do not see. The asymmetry is real: fans know his name, birthday, and father’s first name, yet almost nothing else. That is not an accident; it is a boundary.

What this means for fans asking “why”: the question has no clear answer in the public record. The most honest position is that Ritchie’s limited visibility is intentional, and speculation about custody disputes or estrangement is unsupported.

How old is Amy Childs partner?

Billy Delbosq’s exact age has not been confirmed in any major outlet. What is known: he is a businessman, he appeared on First Dates before meeting Childs (Closer), and he and Childs began dating in 2021 (Mother&Baby). The age gap, if any, has not become a documented talking point in the press.

Is Amy Childs still with her twins’ dad?

Yes — Delbosq is both the twins’ father and her husband. Early reports after their engagement mentioned postponed wedding plans, but 2025 coverage reported the couple married in an intimate London ceremony.

Amy Childs wedding

The wedding itself was a low-key affair by reality-TV standards. No televised special, no magazine exclusive; just a small ceremony that aligned with Childs’s recent shift toward guarding her private life.

The takeaway: Delbosq’s age is a detail the media have not verified, and Childs has not offered it. The relationship facts that are public — 2021 start, 2023 twins, 2025 marriage — matter more than a number.

What illness does Amy Childs have?

Childs has spoken publicly about struggling with her health, but she has not fully revealed a specific diagnosis. In interviews, she has described health difficulties that affected her energy and wellbeing, and coverage has framed them as an ongoing condition rather than a one-off episode.

Because the details remain partial, this section is best treated as what it is: a health situation Childs has acknowledged, with boundaries she has kept. The public should not fill the gaps with a diagnosis.

How much is Amy Childs worth?

Net worth figures for Childs are estimates, not audited statements. One widely cited figure comes from Celebrity Net Worth, which describes her as a multi-millionaire based on her TOWIE earnings, product lines, and media work. The exact number varies by source because Childs’s business income — salons, boutiques, clothing and cosmetics lines — is privately held (Closer).

Where does Amy Childs live now?

Childs lives in a large Essex mansion. In 2026, that home was targeted by burglars, an incident that reportedly prompted her to take a break from social media. The burglary became one of the few recent events that pulled her personal life back into headlines against her will.

Why this matters

The gap between tabloid net-worth estimates and reality is always wide, but for Childs the gap is wider because her wealth is tied to small beauty businesses, not a single salary. Any specific million-pound figure should be read as an estimate from an aggregator, not a bank statement.

The implication: location and money are two areas where the public record is thin. The only reliable anchors are the aforementioned Essex base, a documented business career, and the 2026 burglary.

Timeline

  • : Born Amy Andrea Childs.
  • : Joined TOWIE as an original cast member (Closer).
  • : Left TOWIE after two series; fronted Channel 5’s It’s All About Amy (Celebrity Net Worth).
  • : Daughter Polly born (Mother&Baby).
  • : Son Ritchie born (Heart).
  • : Returned to TOWIE (Closer).
  • : Began dating Billy Delbosq (Mother&Baby).
  • : Twins Amelia and Billy born (Mother&Baby).
  • : Married Billy Delbosq.
  • : Essex mansion burglarised; social media break.

The timeline shows Childs’s transition from reality star to a family-focused public figure navigating private challenges alongside her career.

Confirmed facts vs what’s unclear

The distinction here is not about judging Childs’s choices. It is about separating what has been documented from what fans have filled in.

Confirmed facts

  • Born 7 June 1990 and publicly known as Amy Andrea Childs
  • Four children: Polly, Ritchie, Amelia, Billy
  • Twins born 6 April 2023
  • Married Billy Delbosq in 2025
  • Original TOWIE cast member in 2010

What’s unclear

  • Exact net worth
  • Billy Delbosq’s precise age
  • Specific health diagnosis
  • Ritchie’s father’s identity beyond a first name
  • Why Ritchie is not shown on social media
  • Full details of education and early career before TOWIE

In low-confidence territories like celebrity wealth, the honest editorial move is to name the gap rather than fill it.

Quotes from the coverage

“Childs has four children: Polly, Ritchie, and twins Amelia Mae and Billy River.”

— Mother&Baby (parenting publication)

“She left TOWIE in 2011 after two series.”

— Closer (celebrity magazine)

“Her son Ritchie was born on 1 September 2018.”

— Heart (entertainment broadcaster)

“She has been described as a beauty therapist, reality-TV personality, businesswoman and influencer.”

— Closer (celebrity magazine)

One consistent line across sources: Childs is described as both a family figure and a businesswoman, with the balance shifting as her life has changed.

Summary

Amy Childs has spent 15 years in the public eye, and her life now has two tracks that rarely intersect: the polished TOWIE persona built on glamour and business, and a private family reality involving four children, a partner she married in 2025, and a home burglary she likely never wanted to make public. For readers who follow her as a celebrity, the lesson is to hold tabloid vagueness — net worth, health details, family arrangements — more loosely than documentary fact. For fans who want to respect her boundaries, the choice is clear: enjoy the content she chooses to share, or step back, because the parts she does not show are not an invitation to guess.
