Kelvin Fletcher and wife Liz previously revealed the poignant reason behind their twins’ unusual names.
The couple, who are already parents to daughter Marnie, five, and son Milo, three, are now enjoying life as a gorgeous family of six.
The boys arrived a week earlier than expected in the summer of 2022.
And, following their birth, they announced their names and the reason behind them.

Maximus was born first, weighing 5lb 15oz. His bigger little brother Mateusz arrived a minute later, weighing in at 6lb 2oz.
“Kelvin wanted to stick with an M theme but I was picking all sorts of different names. If we’d preferred a different name would’ve gone with it,” Liz explained.

Kelvin then revealed the meaning behind the boys’ middle names, with Mateusz being named after his doting dad.
Maximus, meanwhile, pays tribute to Kelvin’s late best friend, Steven.

He explained: “Crowther is the surname and nickname of my best friend, Steven Crowther, who sadly passed away of a heart attack a few years ago. He was only 39. Me and him were inseparable, like twins.”
Kelvin continued: “In my mind it’s Kelvin and Crowther: Part two. A mini version. I hope Maximus will be like him. He was hilarious, sensitive, just a lovely person.”
Kelvin’s a busy boy
Despite being a father of four, Kelvin doesn’t appear to be scaling back on his work commitments.
He’s on the box this weekend (September 24) with his Big Farming Adventure Show. And, if you enjoy that kind of thing, he’ll soon be back with another farming series – this time alongside all his family.
The series, titled Fletcher’s Family Farm, will be an eight-part documentary on ITV. Kelvin and his family left the city when they purchased their farm back in 2021. Sheep, horses, goats, pigs and alpacas all roam the 120 acres of working farm ground.
Kelvin’s Big Farming Adventure is on BBC Two, Sunday (September 24) at 3.05pm.
