This Morning star in tears over daughter's emotional milestone

This Morning star in tears over daughter's emotional milestone

Daily Mirrora day ago

Rochelle Humes talks telly, renewing her vows with her JLS star husband Marvin and opens up movingly about why she 'cries every year' when it comes to her three kids
Between hosting top TV shows such as This Morning and The Hit List , parenting her three children and running a business, you'd think that Rochelle Humes would run the risk of being totally strung out. However, as OK! sitS down for an exclusive interview with the 36-year-old, she appears effortlessly chilled out.
Alongside her flourishing career, Rochelle is known for her relationship with her husband, JLS singer and fellow TV star Marvin Humes, who she married back in 2012. Often sharing sweet posts to one another on social media and even working together, it's clear that they are still smitten with each other.


So what's their secret? Chalking it down to mutual respect and time out for themselves amid the chaos, Rochelle explains, 'We both love each other and love our family but we also love what we do, and that's something we've both always been at peace with.'
She adds reflectively, 'We've always met each other in that vein. We also make sure that we shine but don't shine at the same time, which is important to have. So, he'll be on tour with JLS at the end of the year and I'll be very grounded and there to support him.'We make sure that when we each have separate things, we support each other at that time. I think it's just communication really, there's not a big secret, I think it's just that we've got respect for each other. That's the bottom line.'
Three years ago, Rochelle and Marvin, 40, decided to renew their vows, and it's something she says they've decided to make a bit of a tradition. 'When we got married, we said we'd do it every 10 years!' she smiles. 'I think it's a fun thing to do, I'm trying to make all of my friends do the same thing. You reach a certain age and it's like, people have all got married already, so it's a bit... dead in the wedding area! I want our friends to do it every 10 years too, so we have some love to celebrate!
'It's sad when they go, 'I remember there was a time when I was like, 'Oh my God, another wedding to go to!' and now I really miss it.' I'm trying to get my brother to propose to his girlfriend. I don't want him to lose her,' she admits.

There may not be many weddings to go to, but one thing she's recently celebrated is daughter Alaia-May's 12th birthday. Alaia-May is the eldest of Rochelle and Marvin's brood, which includes Valentina, eight, and four-year-old son Blake.
'I can't believe [she is 12]. I cry every year because I'm like, 'I just don't know where the years are going,' but I'm also just so proud of the little woman that she's becoming,' says Rochelle of her eldest. She continues, 'It's a weird thing to think that I've got a 12-year-old. I'm also so proud of how we're raising her. Like, we managed to get one of them to 12, so we're doing alright! We're winging it, but what we're doing is working so far,' she says.
The family often share insights into their holidays on social media, with dreamy breaks in Dubai and the Maldives. But Rochelle likes to give the kids some traditional British memories, too. "At the minute, the kids have just been at my mum's caravan for a few days. So, I dread to think what treats I'm coming back to – they've just been a little bit feral for a while,' she says, with an eye roll.

'It's like the nostalgia of holidays that I remember when I was younger, which is nice for them to have. I think my mum loves to do it all again, too, there's definitely something about doing it with your grandchildren and not your children, because you're not in a rush. You have all of the benefits and you can give them back!'
Not only will Rochelle have three kids on a high from caravan life, but she says, she'll have piles of washing, too. Luckily, the star has partnered with Dylon Detergent, which she hails as a staple in her house. 'I'm honestly such a big fan. I have my favourite scent and the smell is gorgeous. It really has made a difference to my gym wear and to the kids' school uniforms, too. You know how they just go faded?

'We've just got back from the Maldives for Easter, which was brilliant. I tested Dylon to revive a dress that I'd bought a few years before and had lost its way a little bit. It was great.'
And what are their plans with the kids for summer? 'You get the first week of the school holidays out of the way and there's nothing left to do,' she says. 'They love coming to work with me anyway. My daughters have realised there's a gifting cupboard in my office which has body sprays and creams and everything, so they have a one-track mind!'
Rochelle is the official brand ambassador for Dylon Detergent, the laundry detergent that cleans and restores clothes to look and feellike new. Available at major retailers.

John requires round-the-clock care, which both Ed and Emily provide alongside external carers. ‌ Their son remains without an official diagnosis, with Ed explaining that John finds walking and communicating difficult, adding: "Because he's undiagnosed, you're on a journey both with the people in the health service, and other carers."

"We're not different from anybody else, it's a very ordinary story in many ways of being a carer. "But, part of the issue about being a carer is that it's physically and emotionally exhausting, so by the end of the day, you just collapse into bed," Emily, who married Ed back in 2005, told Ben and Cat. ‌ Ed admitted he and Emily are "very lucky," before adding: "Because I'm in politics, I want to make sure I can be the voice of many carers out there."

Ronnie O'Sullivan and TV star ex Laila Rouass reach agreement after 'painful' split

Ronnie O'Sullivan and TV star ex Laila Rouass reach agreement after 'painful' split Ronnie O'Sullivan and Laila Rouass have agreed to sell their former home as the snooker legend reportedly looks to leave the UK and move to the Middle East Laila Rouass and Ronnie O'Sullivan announced their split in December after a 12-year on-and-off relationship (Image: lailarouass/Instagram ) Ronnie O'Sullivan and his ex-fiancee Laila Rouass have agreed to sell their former home as they prepare for a clean break. The former couple parted ways in December after a 12-year on-and-off romance. Earlier this year, they listed their five-bedroom residence for sale for £2million. A source told The Mirror: "The property has now been sold, subject to contract." ‌ Ronnie, a seven-time world snooker champion, and 53-year-old Laila, known for her roles in EastEnders and Footballers' Wives, bought the home in Woodford Green, east London, together for £1.35m in June 2018. ‌ O'Sullivan, 49, is now reportedly planning a move to the Middle East, where he runs a snooker academy. After he was knocked out of the World Snooker Championship last month, the dad-of-three said: "There's going to be a few changes in my life. I think I'm going to be moving out of the UK. "I'm going to start a new life somewhere else. I'll still try to play snooker, but I don't know what the future looks like for me, really. Am I not playing again? I'm not saying anything. I've said it so many times. I'm not saying anything other than I'm moving away soon. There are a lot more important things in life to worry about than a game of snooker." Ronnie and Laila, who became engaged in 2013 but never married, began their relationship in 2012 when she viewed one of his previous homes while looking for a property. He later asked her out through the estate agent, who happened to be her friend. Article continues below Their relationship was marred by claims that Ronnie's mother, Maria, had allegedly called Laila "a prostitute", with the couple initially splitting in February 2022. After a reconciliation just months later, the couple separated again last year. Laila Rouass and Ronnie O'Sullivan are understood to still be on good terms (Image: Getty Images ) Laila confirmed their permanent split following months of speculation, after she was seen without an engagement ring on This Morning in August last year. Article continues below She later took to Instagram to write: "Breakups can strip you down to your essence. I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It's normal, don't beat yourself up. "One thing I'm conscious of not doing is trying to get back where I was. No, I'm discovering who I've become. I've gone through various emotions... hurt, pain, anger, but what I've realised about anger is that it's bottomless. "The thing about break-ups... it doesn't have to be a sad time. It doesn't have to be hard. It can be the beginning of new adventures, new learnings. It can be a wonderful teacher. Using self-compassion and manifesting a new life without someone you love can still lead you to a place of joy."
