One of UK’s most feckless dads who has 16 kids by 10 women ‘finally settles down with partner’
ONE of the UK’s most feckless dads who has 16 kids by 10 women has finally settled down with his partner, say friends.
Keith MacDonald, 37, made a name for himself as a love rat dad after costing taxpayers more than £2 million in benefits to fund his tribe.
After becoming a father for the first time aged 15, his antics didn’t stop.
Notorious Keith travelled up and down for the country to meet women – and even conceived two kids on a double decker bus.
Despite years of multiple flings ending in kids, he has now settled down with a mum to one of his sons.
The unemployed dad-of-16 has finally committed to girlfriend Kimberley Welford, 37.
Managing to lock him down, Kimberly said the pair have been happy together since 2015.
According to the Mirror, Keith told pals he is serious about Kimberly and is in a permanent relationship with her.
The couple first met eight years ago and have a six-year-old son – who is the “double” of Keith.
It’s understood the child is Keith’s final and 16th – so far.
Dubbed the ‘Sunderland sh****r’, Keith previously boasted about his refusal to use contraception.
On a TV documentary entitled 40 Kids By 40 Women, he said he travels to Birmingham to “pull girls” because his reputation is so bad in his home city of Sunderland.
Despite his then-partner being heavily pregnant, he confessed he was still desperate to meet new women.
He was even shown trying to chat up potential hook-ups at a bus stop.
Previously praising his fertility and chat-up skills, Keith said: “The last time I had sex was nine months ago and the person’s pregnant.
“It’s easy – they never seem to say no. Just chat them up on the bus.
“That’s what I do… If they like you, they like you.
“Get their number and text them and arrange to meet when you come off the bus. I just pick them up like that.”
Keith first hit the headlines in 2011 when he tried to fake his own death in order to deny responsibility for his ninth child.
A year later, in November 2012, he was found guilty of common assault and of stealing from one of his ex-partners after an argument over a cheese toastie.
