Jay Kontzle first joined the cast of Emmerdale back in 2018 and made a major impact as he went on to marry Dawn (played by Olivia Bromley) earlier this year. Since getting hitched, the couple have been eager to start a family of their own in the ITV soap. However, when they saw a little girl was in need of a home, the couple decided to go down the foster route instead, welcoming Clemmie into their home. Here’s everything you need to know about Jay Kontzle’s family life away from the cameras.

How many children does Emmerdale star Jay Kontzle have?
Emmerdale star Jay is married to his artist wife Mimi who he has two children with.
They share a daughter Kaibo, aged six, and their little four-year-old boy Zian.
But last month, Jay and Mimi announced that they would be expecting their third child.
This came as quite a shock to the actor, as the couple didn’t plan on having any more children.

He explained to OK! Magazine: “Mimi called me during my lunch break on set and told me, I was sitting eating lunch in the sun, and all of a sudden I went hot and started dripping with sweat.
“I was a bit shocked! Before that, Mimi had said she wanted to get a pregnancy test and I said, ‘A pregnancy test? That’s a lot of money that, especially with the cost of living going up.’
“Then I was in work and she decided to throw a spanner in the works over lunch!”
It isn’t known exactly how far along Mimi is, but going by the size of her bump, they could be welcoming the fifth member of their family by the end of the year.

As of yet, there has been no talk of what gender their unborn child could be.
However, as Mimi is of Chinese heritage, they will be giving them a Chinese name like they have done with their first two children.
According to Jay, Zian means peace and waves, whereas KaiBo is about family.
Their followers are bound to find out the gender and baby’s name in the coming months.

Jay and Mimi first met when she attended one of his concerts in Cheshire when he was still part of his former band The Mend.
The group featured on Britain’s Got Talent with The Mend making it all the way to the live finals before being kicked out.
Mimi was at the gig with her sister who was a big fan, and their paths crossed during the show.
Jay and Mimi got married in 2017 and welcomed their daughter a few weeks later.
In Emmerdale, Billy and Dawn welcomed Clemmie into their home but she is still very shy.
She is scared of leaving her social worker’s side but with Lucas’ (Dexter Ansell) help, they are able to get Clemmie to come out of her shell a little.
Will Clemmie be able to warm up to her new surroundings or are Billy and Dawn facing a losing battle?
Emmerdale airs four nights a week on ITV.
