Five Is Enough For Sorbent Kid!

The cheeky kid from those memorable toilet paper ads grew up long ago, but can you believe Matthew now has five children of his own?

Cradling his new baby daughter, former child star Matthew Krok can’t imagine ever feeling more blessed, after turning his back on fame to become a hands-on dad to his ever-growing brood.

Everybody remembers Matthew as the adorable little fella with the cute chubby cheeks who charmed his way into hearts during the ’90s as the lovable kid plugging super-soft toilet tissue.

And today that trademark smile is still there, as he introduces his “special little princess”, Jovie Adelaide Krok, who was born on April 10. “She is truly a gift from the heavens,” Matthew, now 36, tells Woman’s Day. “Her name means happy and joyous. She’s the most perfect baby, and already she has the same sweet nature as her beautiful mother.”

Catching up with the Krok family at the local duck pond near the family home on Brisbane’s southside, mum Jade is busy rounding up Jovie’s four energetic siblings: big sister Pacey, nine, and her three brothers, Leo, six, Everett, four, and 21-month-old Remy.
