A couple have welcomed baby number 19 - but haven’t ruled out another so they can have an equal number of boys and girls. Desiree Hart-Spegal, 35, has a giant blended family with her husband, Chris, 42, and they have raised 10 girls, and nine boys together.
The pair have eight children together - Christa, eight, Izabella, seven, Christopher Jr, six, Lily, five, Heavenly-Grace, four, Elliesiah, three, Breiella, one and Zeke, who is six months old.
Desiree has three children from previous relationships - Maliki, 18, Makaila, 17, and Andrew, 10. Chris had eight children before meeting Desiree - Skyler, 21, Gavin, 20, Braden, 19, Kaden, 16, Jayden, 13, Sarayia, 13, and twins, Chevelle and Donny, 10.
But the couple, who own a car dealership together, don’t plan on stopping and Desiree who “enjoys pregnancy” wouldn’t say no to baby number 20.
Desiree, from Forth Worth, Texas, US, said: “We’re really fertile. We have 10 girls and nine boys. I’m open to having a twentieth baby - to make it even. I don’t mind having more.”
After meeting through mutual friends in October 2013, Desiree and Chris had a whirlwind romance and married in July 2014. They started trying for a baby straight away and welcomed Christa, eight, in June 2015.
The couple moved from a four-bedroom house to a 3,700 square foot property to make room for their growing family. Now they all together - apart from Gavin and Skyler who live in Spokane, Washington - in a six-bed house.
Two older boys share a room while three younger boys share another. They have an older girls room with three girls, a mid-aged girls room with three girls and a younger girls room with four girls.
Desiree, who shares her room with her husband and their baby, stays on top of her busy household by
