Steve ‘Commando’ Willis shares a rare snap of himself with four of his children from three exes

He recently detailed the ‘challenges’ he faced co-parenting his four children with three ex-partners.

And on Tuesday, Steve ‘Commando’ Willis shared a rare picture of himself with all of his children – sons Jack, nine, Axel, four, and daughters Brianna, 21, and Ella, 12.

The 44-year-old took to Instagram to share the blended family moment with his 115,000 followers.  

‘All together,’ the former Biggest Loser trainer captioned the happy snap of the five of them sitting in a park at night.

The children can be seen smiling ear-to-ear alongside their father, who shot to fame for his time on The Biggest Loser, before appearing on Home and Away and Australian Survivor: Champions vs Contenders.

Steve shares Brianna from an early relationship; Ella and Jack from his relationship with ex-partner Froso; and Axel with Michelle Bridges.

In addition to his own children, Steve’s new girlfriend, F45 trainer Harika Vancuylenberg, has two kids from a previous relationship. 

While his youngsters sporadically appear with Steve in pictures on his Instagram, the photo of the five of them together was a first in 12 months.

The last time they were seen all together was in a short video uploaded to his account of the five dancing as elves to celebrate Christmas 2019. 

Steve recently detailed how having a blended family can sometimes be hard due to ‘compromises with exes and the challenges that come with that’.

‘That can sometimes be hard when sometimes you’re quite upset and angry, or the other parent in the circumstance isn’t doing things the way you’d like them to be doing things,’ he told New Idea on December 7.

Despite the occasional difference of opinion, Steve believes time can be a great healer, adding parents often communicate with each other better once a relationship ends.

In September, Steve told The Daily Telegraph he only spoke about his ex-partners in a ‘positive light’ for the sake of his children.

‘My children are their mother and me and [you need] to be mindful of that part within them and talk of the other parent in a positive light because otherwise children start to question their identity,’ he said.
