Brexiteer Nigel Farage said two of his children have both British and German passports, although he made clear they feel more British than European.

Farage has four children, two with his wife Kirsten Mehr, who is German. Last year, Mehr said she and Farage had separated.

His children with German passports would be able to benefit from EU freedom of movement rules after the U.K. leaves the bloc.

The MEP and former UKIP leader was being interviewed by former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg for the latter's new podcast, Anger Management, the Guardian reported on Wednesday.

In the interview, Clegg said his three children hold Spanish passports (his wife is from Spain) and asked if Farage’s children had German and British passports.

“Yes. Yes. And that link to the German side of their family is clearly important to them but their identity, when it comes to a football game, it’s pretty clear which side they’re actually going to support,” Farage said. “Their mum may not.”

In 2016, Farage was spotted at the German Embassy in London. A Facebook user reportedly saw Farage in line at the embassy and wondered if the MEP was hoping to secure dual citizenship for himself or his family.

When asked about the claims by Buzzfeed, Farage said “none of your business” and hung up the phone.

In the interview with Clegg, Farage also said he believed Britain had been the loser in World War II.

“We were the ones who lost everything,” he said. “In many ways I am very bullish about Britain as it is right now. Yeah we’ve got our problems, our divisions, we’ve always had them. But there’s a great feeling.”
