Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and his fiancé Scott Hutchinson welcomed their son Romeo Tarquin into the world on August 12 via a surrogate.

And since then, they've spared no expense lavishing the newborn with gifts.


Drewitt-Barlow said per the New York Post they've "literally bought every designer that you can imagine" for Romeo already.  "Burberry, Versace, Dior, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, if a designer sells baby clothes we have snapped them up," he added.

Clothes are at least, you know, a practical purchase for a baby, but that's not all Drewitt-Barlow and Hutchinson have bought.

We just spent $2.8 million on a yacht for Romeo and named it after him," Drewitt-Barlow said. "It is currently in Miami where Saffron [my eldest daughter] is boarding, with her new boyfriend and heading over to Cuba and the surrounding islands for two weeks."

There's a reason for the crazy amount of spending, though.

Drewitt-Barlow explained, "We want to give him the same start in life as the other kids so we have set up a trust fund for him. Tony [my ex] gifted him $1.15 million and I matched it for him.

"We will obviously build up a nice portfolio of things for him over the next few years."

Drewitt-Barlow appeared on the television show Below Deck, and he and his  ex-husband Tony Drewitt-Barlow, 56, have a combined fortune of $204 million, which they continue to share even after their split.

Drewitt-Barlow and Hutchinson also have a 2-year-old toddler Valentina, who has seemiungly welcomed her new baby brother with open arms.  It probably helps that she is lavished with gifts as well.

"She has a personal chef, a whole play room full of the latest gadgets and toys, full time live-in nanny and a team of house staff that take care of her every need, including a full time hair stylist that styles her hair every day," Drewitt-Barlow said.
