The couple also share three biological daughters Nathan was ‘child number 79’ but the foster mother just knew there was just ‘something so amazing’ about him.

‘Nathan was very happily living with his foster carer and then when he came to us, he was completely traumatised by that move.

Fortunately, the couple didn’t have to worry about Nathan bonding with their older children as it turns out, they were already familiar with each other.David revealed: ‘They all met Nathan, what we didn’t realise was that the younger ones had met [him] when he was with his foster family. They met him before we met him from the time he was four months old and playing with him. They didn’t know it was that Nathan we were talking about.

‘By week 12 it was like, right kiddo you’ve got to sort this out. It did feel really rejecting and it was really hard sometimes.The couple began an online course called Non-Violent Resistance which they say ‘completely transformed our parenting for Nathan’.‘He cried with me for the first time, proper tears,’ the musician recalled.‘I think that was September 2019 and it was like, my boy’s found his tears. It was such a precious moment to have him cry and then it was like he couldn’t stop.
