Rosanna Davison has opened up about the unique bond her twin sons Hugo and Oscar share, as well as revealing what their older sister Sofia is like.
The Irish model also shared how seeing her three children head off school has been a bittersweet experience. "I do miss having them around the house. When they were babies I used to pack them up in the pushchair and bring them out to the park. They were babies during lockdown, everything was closed and my husband Wes was home from work.
"It was such a nice time in a way. It was a strange and sad time as well, but for us, it was lovely to have Wes at home. It was a slower pace of life," she told RSVP Magazine.

Rosanna revealed she gets up before 6am usually because her sons have been waking at half five recently. "We leave for school
at eight. I find I have to be really organised with my time to make sure I get everything done like work commitments, supermarket trips and housework.
"I actually have become more efficient since having kids. If I get everything done, then the afternoon is just about them. I do a
lot less procrastinating, I have limited my sitting around and scrolling time – until the kids are in bed anyway!"
Rosanna says the family play outside when the weather is nice, and they do baking and Lego if its rains. "Weekends are all about family time."
Thankfully, all three of Rosanna's children get on really well. "Hugo and Oscar, being identical twins, are absolutely devoted to each other. It’s a privilege to watch them grow up together. Obviously they fight, most days I am playing referee, but at the same time they’re very close.
"They share a bedroom and in the mornings, I hear them wake up together and they chat for ages. Then they come running into me and we have a cuddle in bed. They always say, ‘my brother is my best friend’.
"They are in the same class in school so they are never really apart. If I have to separate them for some reason, like when I am bringing one to the doctor, they miss each other so much and keep asking where the other one is. They are so happy to reunite."
Sophia enjoys being a big sister. "She’s the boss of the house. What they say about girls wrecking your head and boys wrecking your home is true! The boys are quite messy, they scribble on the walls and pull down the curtains [laughs]. I have learned to laugh with those things now.
"Sophia is a fantastic child, she’s a mini me in personality and looks. She’s got blonde hair and brown eyes too, she’s even left-handed like me. The twins are very like Wes with blue eyes."
Rosanna also reveals how she takes time for self-care while balancing parenting. "It’s definitely a juggle. Before kids, self care used to look like going to the spa and booking a weekend away. Now it’s having 10 minutes to yourself to have a nice shower, and use nice products like the Human+Kind body scrub and shower soufflé.
"I do have a little more time now that they are all in school until 3pm every day. That gives me half the day back, I can go to a Pilates class and the gym, which is another big part of my self care."
