First Dates star Andy has seven biological children after donating sperm at 25 years old.
He was living in Australia at the time and decided that he wanted to help families on their journey to create their own families.
The now 33-year-old explained that up to four families can use his sperm, with each allowed to have three children.

Andy appeared on First Dates hoping to find a romantic connection, but instead found a friendship with Reno from Cork.
The pair were both sporty types that enjoyed the outdoors, with Andy playing with Dublin’s Emerald Warriors and Reno on Cork’s Hellhounds - both inclusive rugby teams.
While on the date, Andy opened up about how he ended up donating sperm while living in Australia.
He shared that he was living in Sydney after competing his mandatory regional work, where he lived on a farm for five months.
Andy said: “I was very surprised that someone even took up the offer of my sperm. But on the first update, there was five children.”
“I think there’s seven at the moment. There’s going to be eight,” he added. “There’s no contact whatsoever.
“[The sperm] can only be used by four families. Those four families can only have three children each.”
He added: “It’s a drawn line - I’m not a father. I’m a sperm donor and that’s it.”
The Dubliner confirmed that he never received any money for donating his sperm and it was an altruistic decision for him.
Andy said: “I may never use my own sperm to have my own biological children, so being able to give that to someone else and to give someone else the opportunity to have a family - it was something selfless that I couldn’t pass by.”
He continued: “I’ve seen so many of my friends struggle through IVF. I’m part of somebody else’s journey now.”
After being told that there were five babies born using his sperm in his first update, he later found out more children had been conceived.
“I watched a documentary on Netflix ‘The Man with 1000 Kids’,” Andy said. “It scared the living life out of me, so I had to reach out to them and find out if there was any update.
“They’ve said that there’s a further two kids. At least it’s contained. It can’t go very much further.”
Andy explained that when the children born using his sperm turn 18, they can contact him if they want to.
“If they are anything like me, I think they would be a bit curious and they would want to find out.”
