Jac, who also has three-year-old Ella with husband Dan Osborne, revealed she finds it “hard” to be a parent but added that she wouldn’t change anything for the world.

She wrote: “Cuddles with my littlest baby. Sometimes it’s so so hard being a parent. Sometimes it’s really easy. Having Mia had mostly been easy but we all have our moments. I am truly so lucky to have my healthy beautiful little girls and I wouldn’t change a thing.

“I can’t believe by the time I am 30 I will have a 7 and a 4 year old. I remember when I assumed I wouldn’t even start having kids till I was 32. Funny how life turns out.”

Adding that she hopes her kids will grow up to think she is a “cool” mum, Jacqueline added: “I sometimes have to stop and pinch myself that I am even a mother and that I have 2 daughters. Bloody crazy.

“I love my family so much and I am so grateful for so many people that help me in so many ways. My parents. My closest friends and family, my mother in law and my husband. Life has a funny way of working things out and I do sort of believe everything happens for a reason.”

It comes after Jac and her hubby Dan, 27, jetted off on a family holiday together earlier this month.

Jacqueline dubbed the trip with their girls as “the best holiday ever,” telling her fans on Instagram: “We were a complete family this time round and it was perfect.”

The couple, who got married last year, are now appear happier than ever following a rocky patch in their relationship this summer.

They temporarily separated after ongoing rows while Jacqueline was still pregnant with Mia, and shortly before Dan took part in Celebrity Big Brother.

However, some time apart seemed to do them good as former TOWIE star Dan moved back into the family home after his stint on the Channel 5 show and they say they are now stronger than ever.

Speaking to OK! magazine earlier this month, Jacqueline said of their reunion: “Our wedding rings are firmly back on and we’re stronger than ever.”
