The lyrics roughly translate to: "When the years weigh on us, and the legs do not walk, the eyes are closed and the skin does not stretch anymore." The words continue: "When the only thing that weighs, be what we did in life and although none of this happens. You are the love of my life."

"It's not really been a challenge to be honest," she shared. "Obviously Gorka is usually away on tour, it's normally just me and Mia. Obviously, we are never going to get this time back again so we kind of embrace it."

Although the couple are clearly very happy and are enjoy bringing up baby Mia together, Gemma also recently revealed that she isn't focused on getting married to her partner.

"People are always commenting on our Instagram photos with 'Put a ring on it,' and I think, 'Shouldn't you ask if I want to get married? No, I think how we are is perfect,'" she said in June.

The star went on to say that she thinks not being married is preferable for now, admitting; "We both like the fact that it keeps it fresh and keeps us on our toes."
