BBC Sport presenter Gabby Logan gets emotional while driving past a school, reminiscing about her children's school days. Her husband Kenny jokingly comments on her reaction.
Gabby Logan was playfully labelled 'weird' by her husband Kenny after she shared an emotional moment that brought her to tears. The BBC Sport presenter had previously become emotional on her podcast while talking about experiencing an ' empty nest ' as her 19-year-old daughter Lois went off to university, and with her son Reuben, also 19, being a professional rugby player for Northampton Saints and often away from home.
Gabby recounted on a festive edition of her Mid Point podcast, which featured her family, how she recently teared up driving past a school: 'I was driving up the area we live in and there's a grammar school near us and they obviously finished with a half day and the bus unloaded and all these boys with their black puffer jackets all got off, about 14, 15, and I found myself filling up a bit.' Kenny humorously remarked: 'That's weird. You were driving along and a whole lot of boys got off a bus and you started crying.' He went on to express his belief that it's important for children to be 'able to fly' and leave home with excitement rather than feeling their absence is a burden to their parents. Gabby clarified that her tears were sparked by memories of Lois and Reuben finishing school for the term, reports Wales Online. She expanded on her thoughts: 'I was remembering you guys being at school, having the end of term feeling and that lovely feeling when you're a teenager and you finish school and having you to ourselves for a few weeks and not having the routine of school. When you're a parent and you have kids at school you are then in a routine that you did necessarily choose. 'You are in a routine that the state has decided they want you to be in. Christmas in particular, the kids are absolutely shattered and you have time to smother them. And I kind of took myself back to that period.' Kenny confessed he too missed the days when their children were younger, now resorting to sharing 'funky pictures' in the family WhatsApp grou
