Charlie Brooks shares daughter Kiki with ex-fiancé Tony Truman
Charlie, 40, shares daughter Kiki with nightlife entrepreneur Tony Truman who owns the infamous O Beach Club in Ibiza with Wayne Lineker.
The couple split in 2006 when Kiki was two but remain close and often spend the festive season together.
The actress told presenter Kate Thornton while appearing on Yahoo UK’s White Wine Question Time: “We are going to grow old together, just in a very different way. He is absolutely my family, and nothing will ever change that.
“He’s a character. I love him to bits. He can be an arsehole sometimes, but nobody’s perfect, are they?
“My ex-partner Ben, who I was with for five or six years, who’s an amazing human being, you know, we woke up on Christmas Day together, all of us. Tony would come down; we’d all get into bed and open the presents together with Kiki.”
