‘I swapped Rwanda for Rochdale!’: Former Labour MP Simon Danczuk’s new wife Claudine says the pair will adopt a baby from her homeland after tying the knot this summer
- Mr Danczuk met 28-year-old Claudine Uwamahoro on a business trip last year
Simon Danczuk and his new Rwandan wife are planning to adopt a baby from her homeland because her ‘country needs the support’.
Beauty therapist Claudine Uwamahoro, 28, first wants two children with the former Labour MP and then wants to adopt a ‘very young baby’.
Mr Danczuk already has four children but his third wife is keen for the loved-up pair to start a family and isn’t bothered about the near 30 year age gap.
Claudine, known as Coco, tied the knot with the 56-year-old in a lavish ceremony last month and the couple were joined by more than 100 friends and family at the idyllic Sunday Park gardens in Kigali, Rwanda.
And now the happy couple will have a UK ceremony at the end of this month, reported The Mirror.

The Daily Mail revealed in August that the pair, who met when Mr Danczuk was on a business trip to 28-year-old Ms Uwamahoro’s home country of Rwanda almost 18 months ago, are now hoping to start a family.
Mr Danczuk was previously married to Sonia Rossington, the mother to his eldest children George, 25, and 20-year-old Mary, but that ended after ten years amid accusations that he ‘bullied’ her into sex – which he has always vehemently denied.
He then married Karen Burke, named the ‘selfie queen’ for posting pictures of her cleavage online.
Coco said she and Mr Danczuk have spoken about starting a family already and she wants to adopt from Rwanda because ‘my country and people need support’.

‘I will be happy to get them into school and give them a better life, she said. ‘I don’t mind if they are boys or girls. Children are children, and I love kids.’
She added: ‘Age is just a number. It doesn’t matter at all when you’re looking for a successful marriage, as long as the man is the man you really want to spend the rest of your life with. Simon is the right man for me. He fits all the criteria I was looking for, so the age gap doesn’t matter.’
Mr Danczuk was reunited with Coco at the beginning of this month after she was finally granted a visa to live in the UK.
The pair were emotionally reunited at Heathrow, the first time they have seen each other since their wedding in July.
After a long visa battle, the beauty therapist was accepted into the Home Office’s settlement scheme and is now allowed to live and work in the UK for three years.
She previously revealed the couple planned to have a baby if she was accepted into the scheme.
Talking about their new lives, Mr Danczuk said: ‘We now look forward to living between Rwanda and the UK. I love spending time in Kigali, especially with Claudine and her family, though we will also be in London and Rochdale to see my children as much as possible.’

The Mail revealed last month that Ms Uwamahoro was denied a visitor’s visa a year ago by the Home Office because officials ‘did not believe they were in a relationship’.

But the couple appeared to be in the throes of marital bliss as they were pictured kissing and hugging in Heathrow Airport.
They have not seen each other since Mr Danczuk was forced to return to the UK days after their traditional Rwandan wedding in the capital of Kigali.
One source close to the couple told the Mail: ‘Both of them were heartbroken. If there is a time you want to be together as husband and wife the most, it’s straight after your wedding.’
‘Claudine applied [for a visa] last year after she and Simon got engaged and she was devastated when it was turned down.
‘Apparently, the officials didn’t even believe that she and Simon were together.
‘Lots of evidence was provided for them, there were photographs handed over and even records showing that they chatted several times each day.
‘Simon had also been going out there to see Claudine every two months but even that didn’t seem to be enough.’

He then married Karen Burke, named the ‘selfie queen’ for posting pictures of her cleavage online.
They split in 2015 after three years following reports that he had had sex with a 22-year-old woman in his constituency office.
