Jamie and Jools, who have been together for more than 20 years now, tied the knot in July 2000. They are parents to five children: Poppy Honey, who will be 15 next month, Daisy Boo, 13, Petal Blossom, seven, six-year-old Buddy Bear, and baby boy River Rocket, who was born in August last year. The couple are clearly still head over heels in love. Speaking in a previous interview, Jamie said that while he doesn't think marriage is "easy", he and Jools "love each other to bits". He added: "She's a wonderful person, kind and she's very sweet and sensitive and caring."

Family is incredibly important to both Jamie and Jools – and despite having already having a full house, Jools recently said she would consider having another baby in the future. "I'm getting older, but I'd definitely do it again if I could," she admitted last week. "I think Jamie's finished, but you never know. River's six months now, so we're past the really difficult sleepless first few months. He's such a joy."
