In December, she welcomed her third child, daughter Margot.
And Billie Shepherd detailed the struggles of motherhood this week as she admitted it was hard to find alone time with husband Greg.
The ITVBe reality star, 33, admitted her busy parenting routine made it difficult for her to “find time to have a proper conversation with him”.
Earlier this month, her sister Sam admitted she moved into her spare room with son Edward nine months ago instead of sharing it with her partner Paul.
And as if following her example, Billie explained that she did the same, telling The Sun Fabulous magazine: “I moved into the guest room with Margot because I slept with her.”

Billie and Greg are also parents to eldest daughter Nellie (eight) and son Arthur (five).
And since Margot was taken in, the family has started to become a house of five, which means adjusting to their everyday life.
The blonde beauty explains that the evenings look a little different these days: “Before, Margot, Greg and I could put the two older children to bed and eat together. But now the food is on the table at 17:30 at the latest, otherwise the night goes on!’
And as a father of three, Greg has had to take on more responsibility for Nellie and Arthur, as Billie continued: “Greg has to take care of the other two a bit more now.
“And it’s hard to find time to have a proper conversation with him because I’m exhausted after the bedtime ritual. I moved into the guest room with Margot because I slept with her. As soon as Nellie and Arthur are in bed, I’m in bed with the baby,” she said.
Despite struggling to find time for each other, Billie explained that she and her husband recently managed to “day date” baby Margot.
Billie is close to her sister Sam and could have gotten parenting advice from her brother.
Earlier this month, Sam revealed that she sleeps with son Edward in the guest bedroom of their home and hasn’t shared a bed with partner Paul Knightley in six years.

Speaking on the Parenting Hell podcast, she said: “Paul and I haven’t shared a bed in six years. We’re still in separate rooms.”
“I’m in the guest room with Edward, who I recently put to bed, but he’s still only in the room with me.”
She went on to tell hosts Josh Widdicombe and Rob Beckett that her older children sleep in the bedroom with partner Paul and that it’s a routine the family “never got out of.”
‘For [youngest child] Edward came over, it was like two and two – like an adult and a child.’
Billie shared, “And it’s hard to find time to have a real conversation with him because I’m exhausted after the bedtime ritual.”

“And we never really made it.”
When asked how the couple managed to have two more children without co-sleeping, Sam cheekily admitted they still have a corner and said: “You have to be resourceful I guess.”
“It works, but it’s getting a bit much now.”
