Remember the strange tale of Barrie Drewitt-Barlow?
Drewitt-Barlow first made headlines in 1999 when he and his then-boyfriend, Tony Drewitt-Barlow, became “Britain’s First Gay Dads.” Together, the pair sued –and won–the right to both be listed as the father on their child’s birth certificate. The pair eventually had five children together.
Then, last year, Drewitt-Barlow landed in the headlines again when he announced he was engaged to Scott Hutchinson, a man 30 years his junior. He’d first met Hutchinson as the boyfriend of his daughter, Saffron. Together, Hutchinson and Drewitt-Barlow also have another daughter, Valentina, born through surrogacy last year.
Now Drewitt-Barlow has landed in the headlines again, this time for his fiance Scott discussing their sex life in detail. Saffron Drewitt-Barlow tells the British tabloid The Sun the two just can’t hold back.
“Scott talks about their relationship all the time,” Saffron says. “One time he was telling me they had sex in the car, and I had to say, ‘OK, I don’t really want to know about your sex life with my daddy.’ But he wouldn’t stop. Apparently, they were on the motorway and just pulled into a lay-by and did it there.”
“If he was telling me about someone else I’d be fine, but it was so cringey and just not something I want to hear,” she adds.
Related: First, he married his daughter’s boyfriend. Now, a baby.
Saffron also clarifies that she doesn’t mind seeing her dad showing affection to her ex/stepfather. The couple also doesn’t seem to mind, either.
“Seeing them kissing doesn’t bother me, though,” Saffron says. “I actually like it as it makes me happy knowing they are happy together. Plus, they don’t care, they do it anywhere and in front of anyone. You can walk into the kitchen and there they are, having a snog.”
“Don’t get me wrong,” she says. “I see it sometimes and it makes me want to throw up, but I wouldn’t just stand in the kitchen and watch. I walk away.”
As a sign that Saffron supports the couple, she also says she’s willing to help them have more children.
“I want to donate my eggs to help Daddy and Scott have more children,” Saffron told The Sun. “I don’t think Daddy likes the idea too much, as he’d be the biological grandparent of the child and Scott would be the biological dad, but I really want to help. I’ve already frozen my eggs for them, so Daddy and Scott just have to say the word.”
Now that’s a supportive daughter.

So creepy.
MrKWalker68
Gross. Nasty. STFU and go the hell away. ???????
jcool
she doesn’t want to hear about it but somehow thinks we do? not everyone should do interviews.
Creamsicle
Not the way I’d do it, but also not my family. I will say though that must be quite a successful family to be able to afford that many surrogates and rounds of IFV.
Kinkslola
I want to throw up. What’s next? A threesome?
ShiningSex
hilarious and gross at the same time. what a terrible dad
lustyjusty
Stop giving these people the platform and attention they are seeking!
Mehki
So many things wrong. Where to start? And, dude, when someone doesn’t want to hear about your sex life? STFU!

Doesn’t Don Barrie remind you of a character that Mike Meyers would create for Austin Powers to fight?

There’s a good chance he started dating the daughter primarily for money, opportunity and to get to her father, where the real money and security is. It’s definitely an unsettling story. But I do know a guy whose husband used to date his sister. The daughter is probably sincerely happy for them. And I try not to judge. Everyone has their own dimensions and ethics. Everyone has their own version of family. Everyone has their own version of contentment. Everyone has their own motivations and journeys. And if you find someone that you fall in love with and truly want to commit to, that is what it is. I just could never do that to my child and put my child in that kind of position. Both guys come off like absolute narcissists and rich rednecks who don’t take anyone else’s feelings into consideration, which might make them the perfect couple.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if the guy “dated” the daughter for only like a couple weeks, and it was never anywhere close to a “real” relationships. Yet, they’ve all just ran with this story and pumped it up for the publicity and sensationalism. It’s perhaps best to not continue giving them that attention.

I can’t wait for the Netflix or Amazon or HULU series based on this tangled family!

There was a UK documentary about the first two gay dads and it was truly stomach-churning. The displayed all the worst qualities of rich people with no taste, and their children were already insufferable brats because they’d never heard the word “no” in their lives. They’d be on board for another documentary without question. I just hope there are some TV executives somewhere with the good sense not to go there.

Why do we have to keep hearing about these people?

“I don’t think Daddy likes the idea too much, as he’d be the biological grandparent of the child and Scott would be the biological dad…”
Depends on who’s supplying the sperm. If daddy and daughter that’s incest (even if in a test-tube).
Sounds like a good way to get a kid with two heads or whatever.
Catholicslutbox
Some People will do anything for money.
Who’s the biological father?
ho
The dad is a jerk.
Truly so.

Geez… Toxic patriarchy and heteronormativity on parade. Old white dude is threatened by men his old age and needs younger, submissive partner to confirm his status as “dominant” (aka “straight-acting”) male partner. Partner must also be good looking to confirm older partner’s status as “successful.” Younger partner looks to older partner to provide a sense of “security” and material “success”, which is empty. Eventually leads to, “I cannot be fulfilled as a human being unless I have a kid”-thinking that is overwhelming the planet. We were supposed to be nature’s natural population control.
I thought we were better than the hets…

A lot of guys (especially if they have money or good looks) go for much younger people. And there’s a bunch of different reasons why. Sometimes it is about things like “gay” insecurities, a damaged ego and wanting control. But that’s not always the case. There’s dudes who go after closeted or “straight” guys primarily due to internalized homophobia and viewing “straight” guys as generally superior. There’s guys who want to be with a woman primarily for sociological and ego purposes despite being “gay”/overall homo-leaning when it comes to the romantic, sexual, affection, emotional investment, relationship contentment spectrum. Some people go after conventionally good-looking folks to show their “success” and their appeal. A lot of people go after whoever they go after for a variety of reasons. However, marrying a guy 30 years younger than you, a dude who used to “date” your daughter to whatever capacity and then using that story for attention and publicity- it all is a bit icky.

No offense, but most of your analysis seems to spring entirely from your imagination. We know that Don and Tony Split. That’s it.
If you know why, enlighten us. And if you are privy to the roles the current couple play in their relationship and who is dominant or submissive in sex, please enlighten us.
The notion (given that there are so few of us) that we were “supposed to be nature’s natural population control” is ridiculous. More an indication of how little you know about evolution and biology than anything else. Nature’s natural population control was demonstrably infant mortality, disease, lack of resources and predation. Modern population control is demonstrably a better standard of living (average family size goes down as health, wealth and the autonomy of women increases).
Yes, putting the moves on your daughter’s boyfriend, 30 years younger, is undeniably creepy, but that is really all we know. Speculation (especially based on suspect “social theory”) however is barely one step above imagination.
And why would you assume we are “better than the hets”? People are people…all subject to the same errors and foibles.

When an adult calls their father Daddy you know something is very off.
DarkZephyr
She calls him “Daddy” because she calls her other father “Dad” or the like. Its how they differentiate.

What happened to the other guy?
“I loved him when he was a puppy. Now he’s a dog.”
DarkZephyr
Tony still lives with them and carries on as if he’s fine with this train wreck. I dunno. Maybe he is. *shrug* That being said, I noticed on instagram he hasn’t changed his avatar photo from when he and his ex-husband were still together whilst Barrie has definitely changed his instagram avatar to match his current relationship with Scott. Makes you wonder.

As long as they are decent parents to their kids who cares about their drama. Seems like she wants to be a reality TV series with these two. Don’t let it happen.

Years and years of therapy for that baby girl when she grows up.

My backyard neighbors were lesbians. They both each had a baby. Then one changes from female to male. They have now divorced. Now the one who still lives in the house has a VERY HOT younger boyfriend. My husband and I find this very interesting and can’t wait for the next chapter!
Did I mention the “VERY HOT” boyfriend?
MusicBoi74
Sick…that poor kid. (Both the baby, the girl, and her ex-boyfriend). And “daddy” is a pervert.
