He also has daughters Kitty, 33, twins Eliza and Amelia, both 31, and son Louis, 30, with ex-wife Victoria Lockwood and Edmund, 20, and Lara, 18, with ex-wife Caroline Freud.
The former couple confirmed their divorce in a statement released in June.
"It is immensely sad," he said on June 8. "I just want to devote myself to all my children and grandchildren, and I wish Karen every happiness in the future."

She also shared a photo of a large iron gate and brick fence in a field with her two sheep, Lucky and Minty, standing in front of it.
"In this picture, one of my favorite projects, the gates to the walled kitchen garden, with Lucky and Minty posing," she continued. "I know many of you have been asking what we found when we did the excavation. You won’t believe it! Can’t wait to share. And for those of you who have been asking, don’t worry, Lucky and Minty will be coming with me. ❤️In the meantime, I hope you are all having a wonderful summer."
