Britain's most feckless father has 15th child... with two more on the way
The jobless man branded ‘Britain’s most feckless dad’ for fathering 14 children has had another child – and two more are on the way.
Jamie Cumming, 34, from Dundee, who lives off benefits, has had 15 children by 13 different women – and is unable to pay maintenance for any of them.
Mr Cumming’s 19-year-old ex-girlfriend birth to his latest child, a son, two weeks ago. His current girlfriend, also 19, was last night due to give birth to another boy.
Feckless: Jamie Cumming, holding his son's hand, has had 15 children from 13 different women
A girl of 17 is understood to be expecting his 17th child in the New Year.
Mr Cumming’s mother, Lorraine, said last night: ‘He needs to take some responsibility. He’s an embarrassment and I’m having nothing to do with him.’
He first told his mother and his father Harry he was going to become a dad, aged just 17.
His girlfriend Kelly Dulley gave birth to a little girl in February 1995 and everyone believed the couple would go on to get married.
But once the baby was born, Jamie started a relationship with Kelly's cousin.
Their relationship lasted 10 years but the couple struggled to have a baby despite receiving IVF treatment through the NHS.
Trouble: Jamie has been branded Britain's most feckless dad
While they were trying for a baby Jamie had managed to father another child with a woman who gave birth to his first son in 1997.
She has since moved to France and neither Jamie nor his family have seen her or the child since.
Around the same time in 1997, Jamie got another girl pregnant - Kelly's cousin's friend.
In November 1998 he fathered another child after a one-night stand with a neighbour's daughter and less than three years later in July 2001 he became a father again.
Fourteen months later his sixth child, a boy, arrived and occasionally Jamie gives some money to the boy's mother but does not contribute towards his other children.
A few months later he fathered a seventh son and shortly after that in 2002 another woman gave birth to his eighth child, another boy.
In 2004 Jamie was in new a relationship and together they have three children - a seven-year-old, a two-year-old and a 13-month-old baby.
By December 2007 Jamie's tenth child had arrived and five months later his 11th son was born.
Jamie, who has five siblings, also fathered a child with an Australian woman who took their son back with her after she'd given birth.
Lorraine regularly keeps in contact with her 14 grandchildren and often meets with their maternal grandparents but she feels humiliated because her son is refusing to raise or support his own children.
He often spends Christmas day flitting between each of the women and will sometimes spend his money buying lavish gifts rather than buying food and clothes.
Other relatives have pleaded with him to stop fathering children but they believe he is addicted.
