Barrie told the Sun: “I’ve fallen in love with Scott and he has done the same. I feel stupid at my age to have these feelings about someone other than Tony who is half my age.

“But when you know something is right, it’s right. We have not made definite plans but I would like to marry Scott. I’m not having a midlife crisis. This is the real deal.”

Barrie affirmed that he knows not everyone will “get it”, but insists that his family situation is more stable than many other families adding that “Dad’s got a new fella and we are one bigger happy family instead.”

“I’m not sure what the big deal is myself, things don’t always work out in relationships for one reason or another, but Tony and I are both very happy about the way things have turned out and regardless of the negativity regarding our relationship, we will both be there for each other through this very difficult time.”

Barrie is CEO of the British Surrogacy Centre of America launched in 2000 .
