The
surprising news, however, comes two years after Mr. Hutchison and Saffron
disclosed their plans of having their own twins via surrogate since the relationship was never sexual.
Twins Saffron and Aspen will, however, clock 20 in December. They were conceived using donor eggs from Tracie McCune before being carried by Rosalind Bellamy in surrogate
They fought in court for their right to be on their children's birth certificates as father and father
‘I am not having a midlife crisis. This is the real deal.’ Mr. Drewitt-Barlow said
While Aspen does have an identical twin, Orlando aged 16, via another surrogate, Donna, the couple’s second set of twins was given birth to nine years ago
The pair began to drift apart as their sex life dwindled and Mr. Drewitt-Barlow's snoring forced the pair into separate beds

Husband Tony also suffered from cancer in 2006 and suffered bad health for the last three years
While he is now in remission, it was his hospital admission for osteoradionecrosis in his jaw that sent Mr. Drewitt-Barlow into the arms of Scott
Tony encouraged Mr. Drewitt-Barlow's new relationship, and even acted as a mediator when the couple decided to break the news to Saffron
