MARVIN’S HEART WILL BEAT AGAIN

JLS star to renew wedding vows with Rochelle

MARVIN Humes says he falls deeper in love with his wife and best friend Rochelle every single day.

The telly duo plan to renew their wedding vows next year to mark 10 years of marriage.

And chatting exclusivel­y to the Sunday Mirror, loved-up Marvin told how the secret to a successful marriage was never taking each other for granted.

The JLS hunk, 36, said: “Rochelle is beautiful inside and out. She is my best friend. It is as simple as that. I love her more every day.

“No marriage is perfect but we are a team. We love working together, which is quite unique. But we try to focus on being husband and wife, best friends and good parents first and foremost above everything else.

SUPPORTIVE

“We always make time for each other as a couple – it’s important to keep having date nights and weekends away.

“You have to keep working at the marriage and not take each other for granted.”

The Hit List hosts became a pop power couple back in 2010 after Marvin found fame in X Factor boyband JLS and Rochelle, 32, joined girl group The Saturdays.

They married two years later and have since gone on to have Alaia-Mai, eight, Valentina, four and one-year-old Blake.

Beat Again singer Marvin continued: “We always have each other’s backs.

“We are super supportive and always try to compromise.”

Both Marvin and Rochelle’s careers are going from strength-to-strength.

A new series of BBC’s The Hit List has been commission­ed for next year and Marvin has recently relaunched his pop career with JLS, who have just finished a sellout arena tour.

But the dad of three told how the children are both his and Rochelle’s biggest priorities, not their careers.

“The most important thing for us is to be the best parents we can be,” he said. “Being a parent is by far the hardest job in the world. There is no handbook. You have to do the best you can.

“For me, the number one thing is seeing them happy. It doesn’t matter what they do or who they become, so long as they are happy.”

Marvin also confirmed that he and Rochelle are planning to renew their wedding vows next year.

He said: “We are going to go abroad somewhere and have an intimate service. We wanted the kids to be a part of it.

“Our eldest always asks why she wasn’t at the wedding and we have to explain she wasn’t born then.

“It will be nice for them to see Mummy and Daddy get married.

“It is nice to celebrate and acknowledg­e what we have achieved.”
