Financier Ben Goldsmith is celebrating the birth of his fifth child with his wife, the model-turned-society caterer Jemima Jones.
'We have named our daughter Paloma,' he tells me. 'It has the same meaning as Jemima: little dove.'
The son of billionaire tycoon Sir James Goldsmith also has two sons with his first wife, Kate Rothschild. Their daughter, Iris, tragically died aged 15.
Asked if baby number five, right with Jemima, will be his last, Ben, 43, declares: 'Definitely, yes!'
Iris, the eldest of Ben's children, died on his 280-acre Cannwood Farm estate in Somerset in July 2019.

He said that his kids continue to be inspired by Iris and that some are even getting involved in the environmental project set up in their sister's name.
'I think, that they themselves are interested in devoting their lives to environmental work,' he explained.
'I think they love the idea that in Iris's name, we're helping teenagers around the world to do the kinds of things that Iris will never have the chance to do.
'In fact, my older son Frankie, is going to go and work with one of our prize winners in Bali...He's studying engineering, and he's going to go and be an engineer on the team.'
