Sir Tom Jones told us all he’s a Sex Bomb, so it’s surely no surprise that the She’s A Lady hitmaker also has an estranged son.
Tom, 84, has two sons, but one of which is rarely spoken of. His eldest son, Mark Woodward, 66, is the only child from Tom’s marriage to his late wife Melinda Trenchard.
But Mark also has a half-sibling, Jonathan, now aged 36. However, they are not believed to be in touch, nor is Tom said to have much of a relationship with his younger son.
So what happened? And why are they estranged? We take a look…
Tom Jones’ youngest child
The Voice coach Tom Jones’ youngest child is Jonathan Berkery, although he goes by the name of Jon Jones. He was the outcome of a short-lived fling between the-then married Tom and 24-year-old model Katherine Berkery.
Their relationship began in 1987 and is said to have lasted just a few days. However, Katherine became pregnant and later gave birth to their son Jonathan.
Despite a DNA test in 1989 proving that Jonathan was his son, Tom refused to publicly address the matter for decades. In fact, it was only in 2008 upon the release of a new music album that Tom finally confirmed he is Jonathan’s father.
‘I just fell for it’
