The article mentions Johnny's 'youngest' dau Storm, so there must be others? She's not listed in Debrett.

From the Times of 29 May 2021:
MARRIAGES AND ENGAGEMENTS
‘We are best friends and soulmates’
Tahli Grobbelaar,
36, a designer, and Johnny Boscawen, 52, a landscape gardener, were married on October 2, 2020, at Machrie Bay on the Isle of Arran
The former Liverpool goalkeeper, Bruce Grobbelaar, was being interviewed live for a podcast when he was brought some breaking news. Johnny from Sussex had a question: “Can I have your daughter’s hand in marriage?”
At the time, Bruce’s daughter, Tahli, was sitting next to Johnny in their Sussex home. She thought Johnny was joking. “I couldn’t believe he had done it like that. My dad could easily just have turned around and said no.”
[Johnny's] great-grandparents were the Duchess of Hamilton and Duke of Montrose. The family seat was Brodick Castle, which is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland...
...[Tahli] grew up in Liverpool and Zimbabwe before moving to Surrey at the age of 11 when her father joined Southampton...
...They planned to get married in 2021 or 2022. Johnny’s father, Simon, died in 2004 and they wanted to marry where his ashes were scattered alongside a fishing hut that he had built. Johnny’s youngest daughter, Storm, 14, was appointed chief wedding organiser...

From GRO indices, Johnny BOSCAWEN has the following issue:

From his 1st m.:
B A J B. (a boy, born 1997) - already reported on thepeerage.com and in my copy of DB 2008.

From his 2nd m.:
O S P B. (a boy, born Q3 2005 West Surrey)
Storm Z M B. (a girl, born Q2 2007 West Surrey)

Unable to locate another daughter - maybe to another woman he never married (so under another surname), or possibly abroad?
