Sir Jacob and his wife have six children in total, also including Aldfred, Anselm and Sixtus<\/p>\n
Sir Jacob served as Leader of the House of Commons and Brexit Opportunities minister in Mr Johnson’s administration.<\/p>\n
He then became Business Secretary during Ms Truss’s short tenure as PM.<\/p>\n
Sir Jacob resigned from Government in October last year when Rishi Sunak replaced Ms Truss in No10.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since then\u00a0he has joined TV channel GB News where he fronts his own show, titled ‘Jacob Rees-Mogg’s State of the Nation’.<\/p>\n
Sir Jacob and his wife have six children, also including Aldfred, Anselm and Sixtus.<\/p>\n
He has previously revealed he’d like to have a seventh child but admitted Helena ‘is not so keen’.<\/p>\n
The couple last had a child in 2017, with the arrival of son Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher.<\/p>\n
The other children’s full names are Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Peter Theodore Alphege, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam and Mary Anne Charlotte Emma Rees-Mogg.<\/p>\n
Despite having so many children, Sir Jacob has previously revealed that he has never changed a nappy.<\/p>\n
He ruled himself out from running to replace Theresa May as PM in 2019 by saying he had too many children to do the job.<\/p>\n
He admitted taking charge of No10 would be ‘very difficult’ because he is a ‘family man’.<\/p>\n
