He also hinted at tying the knot again, sharing: "Marriage is absolutely something I'm thinking about. It just hadn't felt right since Jade died. It was such a public marriage and had so much heartbreak. Time has healed a lot." His wedding photos with Jade were sold to financially secure her children, EastEnders actor Bobby Brazier, 20, and Freddie, 19.
As well as this, Jack can't wait to start a family of his own, explaining: "Children would be amazing, it's something me and Ellie are thinking about. It's been a privilege to be a step-dad to Bobby and Freddie. I'm so proud seeing them in the limelight they're natural at it. They remind me so much of Jade."
Jack also shared his baby plans
Jade's tragic passing encouraged more women to get tested for cervical cancer. She unfortunately missed an appointment in 2008 to remove abnormal cells, which later led to the cancer spreading through her body.
Jack ended his heartfelt conversation by reminding women of the importance of a cervical screening, encouraging: "I keep urging women to get screened. That was a huge part of her legacy."
