Congratulations are in order for Marvin and Rochelle Humes, who have renewed their wedding vows for their tenth anniversary.
Ten years to the day the couple tied the knot, the JLS singer and former Saturdays star renewed their vows on Wednesday (27 July) at Oxfordshire’s Blenheim Palace, Hello! reports.
Alaia, nine, Valentina, five, and 21-month-old Blake were all in attendance and had a major role to play in the celebrations.

In fact, it was Marvin and Rochelle’s children who gave the couple the inspiration to declare their love for each other once again.
Rochelle told the publication: “The girls have watched the video and seen the photographs from our wedding day and Alaia, in particular, kept asking, ‘Why wasn’t I there?”
Although Blake, who was born in October 2020, is unlikely to have any memories of the day, Marvin said his son ‘will look back one day and know he was part of it’.

Marvin, who hosts the hit BBC competition series The Hit List with Rochelle, exclusively revealed to Tyla why they decided to share more photos of their children on social media after keeping their faces hidden.
After keeping their children out of the spotlight with pictures that hid their faces, Rochelle shared a collection adorable snaps with their two daughters in January 2020 showing Alaia and Valentina on holiday and at home, much to fans' delight.
"I think it would be weird for me to post this without saying anything...but we've made the choice to share a little bit more of our family," Rochelle said in the Instagram post.

Speaking about the couple's decision one year on, Marvin told Tyla at the time: "Initially we were super protective of sharing our children on social media.
"As Alaia got older, she started noticing things on Instagram and [...] innocently asking why and we didn't have an answer for her. So we decided just to relax a little and share a little bit of our children, how proud we are and how much they mean to us."
Last year, Rochelle opened up about the backlash she has received for having three c-sections.
The television presenter revealed some of the comments left her feeling ‘really offended’.

“'I thought I was going to have a natural birth, I thought that was what I was supposed to do,” Rochelle revealed to Kate Ferdinand on her podcast My Little Coco.
“It didn't happen that way, but I was OK with that. What I wasn't ready for was the negative connotations that come with having a C-section.”
She also reflected on some of the specific comments which made her feel like she ‘failed.’

“I've been in situations before where people have said, 'Oh, are you too posh to push?'
“I remember feeling really, really offended. Almost like I'd failed, like I couldn't do it properly.”
