The Direct Answer: Billie Faiers's Children
'Billie Faiers's kids' is one of the most searched questions about Billie Faiers, and it deserves a properly dated answer. The direct answer: three children. Every age in this guide is current as of October 7, 2026, worked out from confirmed dates of birth. Children's ages shift every year while old articles stay frozen in time, which is why this page states its reference date up front — October 7, 2026 — and ties every age to a specific birth date you can verify.
| Child | Born | Age (Oct 7, 2026) | Parents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nelly Shepherd | July 10, 2014 | 12 | Billie Faiers & Greg Shepherd |
| Arthur Shepherd | March 7, 2017 | 9 | Billie Faiers & Greg Shepherd |
| Margot Shepherd | December 2, 2022 | 3 | Billie Faiers & Greg Shepherd |
That table is the quick answer, and everything below it is the context that makes the answer meaningful. You will find how each child arrived, the milestones in Billie Faiers's family life in chronological order, and an honest account of what the family shares publicly versus what it keeps private. All of it was verified against public sources as of October 7, 2026.
Nelly Shepherd (Age 12)
Nelly Shepherd, Billie Faiers's 1st child, was born on July 10, 2014. Nelly is 12 years old as of October 7, 2026. Nelly Samantha Shepherd was born on July 10, 2014.
The birth itself was a public milestone, handled the way Billie Faiers handles most family news: personally and on the family's own timeline. Nelly Samantha Shepherd was born on July 10, 2014. Like most celebrity births, the announcement came when the parents were ready — not when the press demanded it — and the details released afterward were limited to what the family wanted the world to know. That pattern, announcement first and privacy after, has defined how Nelly's childhood has been covered ever since.
As Nelly grows older, the family's approach has stayed steady: share the joy, guard the details. Billie Faiers rarely discusses the children in interviews beyond proud-parent generalities, and the children's day-to-day lives — school, friends, hobbies, struggles — stay out of the press. For a family living partly in public, it is a notably disciplined boundary, and it has held for years without slipping. That discipline is the reason this guide can state the birth date with confidence and must hedge on almost everything else.
One underappreciated aspect of Nelly's story is how ordinary the family's ambitions for the child appear to be. Billie Faiers has not positioned Nelly as a brand extension or a future star; the public posture is that of any proud parent — delighted, protective, and determined to let the child become whoever they become. In a culture that monetizes everything, that restraint is itself noteworthy, and it has earned the family goodwill from fans who watch celebrity childhoods with skepticism.
Arthur Shepherd (Age 9)
Arthur Shepherd, Billie Faiers's 2nd child, was born on March 7, 2017. Arthur is 9 years old as of October 7, 2026. Arthur Shepherd was born on March 7, 2017.
Arthur's name has its own small story. Arthur Shepherd was born on March 7, 2017. Names carry weight in celebrity families — sometimes they honor relatives, sometimes they mark a fresh start, sometimes they simply sounded right to two new parents — and Billie Faiers chose this one deliberately before announcing it to the world. In the years since, the name has appeared in birth records, birthday tributes, and the occasional headline, becoming inseparable from the child's public identity. Whatever the private reasoning behind it, the public record is settled: this is the name, this is the birth date, and everything else on this page is built on those two facts.
Public records and the occasional family outing are essentially the whole public file on Arthur. Billie Faiers has kept it that way for years, resisting the considerable pressure to turn family life into content. There is no family reality show, no monetized childhood, no tell-all. Fans know the birthdays and the milestones; everything else is the family's own business, and Billie Faiers intends to keep it that way for as long as the children are minors — and probably long after.
Looking ahead, Arthur's story is still being written, and the family will decide how much of it becomes public. For now, the verified facts are the birth date, the name, and the parents — everything else is either private or speculative, and this guide declines to speculate. What can be said with confidence is that Arthur is growing up in a stable, deliberately guarded household, which is more than many celebrity children get.
Margot Shepherd (Age 3)
Margot Shepherd, Billie Faiers's 3rd child, was born on December 2, 2022. Margot is 3 years old as of October 7, 2026. Margot Shepherd was born on December 2, 2022, the couple's third child.
Margot's name has its own small story. Margot Shepherd was born on December 2, 2022, the couple's third child. Names carry weight in celebrity families — sometimes they honor relatives, sometimes they mark a fresh start, sometimes they simply sounded right to two new parents — and Billie Faiers chose this one deliberately before announcing it to the world. In the years since, the name has appeared in birth records, birthday tributes, and the occasional headline, becoming inseparable from the child's public identity. Whatever the private reasoning behind it, the public record is settled: this is the name, this is the birth date, and everything else on this page is built on those two facts.
Growing up as Billie Faiers's child means growing up adjacent to fame without necessarily being famous. Margot has been kept largely out of the spotlight: no reality-show childhood, no sponsored baby posts, no tabloid-friendly meltdowns — just the occasional glimpse when Billie Faiers decides a moment is worth sharing. It is the modern celebrity-parenting compromise, and this family practices it with unusual consistency. The result is a childhood that looks, from the outside, remarkably normal: school, friends, family holidays, and a parent who happens to be well known.
Placed on the family timeline, Margot's arrival marked a turning point. Before the birth, Billie Faiers's public story was primarily a career story; afterward, it became a family story too, and interviews from that era onward return to parenthood again and again. The birth did not just add a person to the household — it rearranged Billie Faiers's priorities in the way first children (and second, and third) always do, shifting the center of gravity from work to home.

Family Life & Parenting
The Shepherds' family life has been documented on The Family Diaries. Billie has spoken about the juggle of three children with very different ages.
The household behind the headlines runs on the same things every family runs on: routines, school calendars, and the small daily negotiations of 3 children sharing one roof. Billie Faiers's public career sets the schedule around the edges — tours, filming blocks, press weeks — but the center of the family's life is deliberately ordinary. That ordinariness is not an accident; it is the stated goal of parents who grew up, in many cases, without it.
The children's relationship with fame varies by age and temperament, but the parental policy does not: no child is pushed into the spotlight, and none is used as content. Older children who choose public lives of their own — acting, music, social media — do so on their own terms. Younger ones are simply kept out of it until they are old enough to decide for themselves.
Money and fame distort most parenting conversations, but the fundamentals here are recognizable: bedtimes, homework, sibling squabbles, and the eternal parental project of raising decent humans. Billie Faiers has the resources to outsource everything and appears to outsource very little that matters. The children are described, when they are described at all, as grounded — a word that keeps recurring in the rare interviews where Billie Faiers discusses family, and a word that suggests the ordinary work is being done.

Nelly Shepherd is 12 years old (born July 10, 2014); Arthur Shepherd is 9 years old (born March 7, 2017); Margot Shepherd is 3 years old (born December 2, 2022). The span from eldest to youngest is 9 years.
How the Ages Were Calculated
A note on method, because celebrity children's ages are notoriously misreported. Every age on this page was calculated the same way: take the verified date of birth, count forward to October 7, 2026, and state the completed years. Where only a month or year of birth is public, the age is given as stated in the source and the imprecision is flagged rather than hidden. Where a birthday falls within days of October 7, 2026, the guide says so explicitly instead of letting the number quietly go stale.
This matters because most of the internet's answers to 'how old is' questions are undated. A fan wiki edited in 2023, a magazine profile from 2024, an AI answer with no timestamp — all of them freeze a child's age at the moment of writing. This page does the opposite: it names its reference date (October 7, 2026) in the lede, in every section, and in every FAQ answer, so the numbers are checkable and the reader always knows what 'now' means.
Why You May See a Different Age Elsewhere
If you have seen a different age for one of these children elsewhere, there are a few usual explanations, and none of them require anyone to be lying. The most common is staleness: an article written months or years ago stating an age that was correct then and is wrong now. Children's ages change annually while articles live forever, and search engines do not always surface the newest version.
The second explanation is the birthday edge: a child born in October, read about in early October, may be listed at the old age by sources that have not caught up — or at the new age by sources jumping the gun. This guide handles those cases by naming the exact birth date and the exact reference date (October 7, 2026), so you can do the arithmetic yourself. When sources conflict on a date, the guide says so rather than picking a winner silently.
What's Next for the Faiers Family
As of October 7, 2026, the Billie Faiers family is in its mixed ages: the family spans babies or toddlers through school-age children The next milestones are the ordinary ones that matter most to families — birthdays, school years, holidays — unfolding mostly out of public view, as Billie Faiers prefers.
Stepping back, the throughline of this family's public story is steadiness. There are no custody sagas playing out in headlines, no children thrust into fame before they can choose it, no contradictions between what the family says and what the records show. The birth dates check out, the timeline holds together, and the privacy boundary has been respected for years. That consistency is why a guide like this one can be written with confidence: the facts are stable because the family is stable.
Family guides like this one go stale fast, because children keep having birthdays. Every age on this page is anchored to October 7, 2026 and to a verified birth date, so you can recalculate any of them yourself. This guide will be revisited as the family grows or as new milestones become public.
