Dad, 50, gets engaged to daughter’s ex boyfriend while on holiday with them BOTH – and they’re having a baby together

DAD Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has revealed he's proposed to his daughter Saffron's ex-boyfriend Scott Hutchinson while on holiday with her AND him to Croatia.

Barrie and ex partner Tony Drewitt-Barlow hit the headlines in 1999 as the first gay men in the UK to father twins born through surrogacy.

Now, more than 20 years later, Barrie has split from Tony and hooked up with their adult daughter Saffron's ex-boyfriend Scott Hutchinson.

Barrie and Scott told in March how they were having triplets together, while living in the same house with Tony.

But now he's revealed there is just one baby - a little girl who is due on October 28.

And now Barrie has, while holidaying with Saffron and Scott, proposed to his daughter's ex.

Happily Scott said yes with Barrie writing in comments on his Instagram feed: "Yes, last night" when someone asked "Are you and Scott engaged?"

The romantic proposal took place on the island of Hvar, just off the coast of Split.

Barrie, releasing a video it, decorated a boat with rose petals and numerous candles.

Centrepiece was a diamond ring. He teased in the vid: "What happened here tonight? I wonder what it could be? There's Champagne, there's roses, uh, uh, uh, oh... what do you think happened here?

"And is that something over there... whooooa."

He then posted a close up of a diamond and silver ring, later sharing images of him and Scott and him and Saffron together.

Barrie previously revealed how he and Scott were expecting triplets, subsequently saying it was just one baby.

Saffron, now 20, briefly dated bisexual Scott, 25, months before he fell in love with Barrie.

Previously Barrie, 50, originally from Manchester but living in Florida, told The Sun: “I am overjoyed to share the news that Scott and I are pregnant with triplet girls. We are using a surrogate and she’s fallen pregnant at the first attempt.

“Our surrogate, Marie, is a lady from San Francisco we have worked with previously for our agency, the British Surrogacy Centre.

“This will be her last surrogacy and she wanted to do it for Scott and I.” They chose the egg donor based on her “gorgeous” looks and high IQ.

Barrie said: “We found a beautiful, young, educated egg donor before the surrogate. “We met 15 egg donors at the Beverly Wiltshire hotel, the hotel in the film Pretty Woman.

“We decided that would make the perfect setting to find the woman who would add the part of the DNA for our baby girl."

Tony, 55, who was with Barrie for 32 years, has no plans to divorce and is living in a separate wing of their £6million home.

He is said to be “delighted” at the new additions to their “very modern family”, although he hasn't commented on it on his own Instagram page.

Tony and Barrie’s first children were twins Saffron and Aspen.

“Our family has too many boys and too much testosterone! So we used sex selection to even things out. We know we are having girls,” he added.

Now he and Scott are shopping to furnish a Burberry-themed £100,000 nursery for this daughter, described as “the ultimate princess palace”.

Barrie said: “We are thrilled we are going to become daddies again.

“Tony is excited too, although it does underline that our marriage really is over after all these years, so it is very bittersweet.

“But we are all going to remain living under the same roof. Tony is Dad, I’m Daddy and while at the moment Scott is stepdad, soon he’s going to be Daddy Two.

“We are happy, we want to co-parent our kids and that’s all that matters. If people don’t get it, that’s their problem, not ours.”

The pair, who are worth a combined £40million from various business ventures including a global research company, used their experience having Saffron and Aspen to set up their own surrogacy agency in 2000.

They then welcomed son Orlando in 2003 and twins Jasper and Dallas in 2010. Tony and Barrie don’t know who is the father of which child — and some have different egg donors — meaning potentially they are not biologically linked to the kids.

And the mind-boggling connections between the siblings will become even more confusing with Scott and Barrie’s daughter, as they have decided they don’t want to know which of them is the biological father.

Barrie said: “All of our biological connections are about to get even more complicated but we just regard ourselves as a very modern family.

“As far as we are concerned they are brothers and sisters. What does the biology matter as long as they are loved and have a stable home?

“There are far more dysfunctional households than ours, we are just unconventional, as our kids have three parents who adore them.

Even though Saffron, a make-up entrepreneur, had dated Scott, she has given their relationship her blessing. She said last December: “As long as they’re happy, I’m not bothered.”
