Rebecca told The Sun, “We’re so on board when it comes to summer … I loved being with her and having that time together.”
She added, “It was difficult at times, don’t get me wrong, but I’m looking at it now and I think we will never get that time back and it was the situation that we are in. And Summer didn’t know anything else. ‘
During the lockdown, the mixed family spent a lot of time together, though Rebecca has denied they lived together and even used hashtags on Instagram group snaps to clarify this.
Rebecca explained the situation to HELLO! This summer spends three days with Harry and then three days with her.
Expecting: The 31-year-old Olympian is currently pregnant with her second child, a boy who will be her first baby with Andrew
She said, “We have found really good parents and our routine. You get the best of both worlds! ‘
Although both move on with new partners, Rebecca and Harry have remained friends and now focus on their daughter, who is their “main priority”.
The couple even joked that they play a “good cop, bad cop” routine at times, with Rebecca surprising her family when she turned out to be more lenient parents.
Rebecca also supported her ex Harry – whom she split with in 2016 – when he came out bisexual on Father’s Day this year.
Harry explained that he hadn’t spoken to his ex-wife about his sexuality when they were married and didn’t tell her until they were friends.
He said, “I never felt I cheated on her because I loved her and, as I said, never had the time to discover my full sexuality.”
All together: the swimmer gave some insight into the family lockdown and took photos of everyone together (pictured Summer, Harry, Micheal, Andrew and Rebecca).
During the lockdown, Rebecca and Andrew were working on their house to add an extension, meaning they didn’t always have a fully functional kitchen.
This made sticking to a healthy diet a little harder than usual, but Rebecca said she made sure she took time to exercise.
She revealed that staying fit was also important, as she put on about four stones with Summer during pregnancy, adding that much of that was water weight.
Pregnant Rebecca also discussed how her little girl was adapting to the idea of becoming a big sister.
She said that the boy was very attentive to her and loves to feel her growing bump every day and to show her siblings some love with a kiss.
The infatuated mother added that Summer is very excited that the baby will be born and keeps asking when her brother will be arriving.

Rebecca explained how to tell her five-year-old that death will be born after Christmas, but before they start celebrating Easter.
Rebecca recently revealed that her second child and first with Andrew is a boy.
She said HELLO !: “He was lying on his back with his legs wide open and showed us his full package. I could not stop laughing. It was such a fun, joyful moment. ‘
Harry and Rebecca split in 2016 after 18 months of marriage, and Rebecca announced that she was dating property manager Andrew Parsons in 2018.
She first confirmed her romance with Andrew in December 2018, marking her first relationship since her divorce from Harry two years ago.
Harry came out bisexual in June of that year and told BBC News that he had a relationship with another man in 2019 and said he didn’t feel like he could really say he was bisexual until this happened.
