The BBC Breakfast presenter previously opened up about the advice the couple were given at their wedding in 2004, telling the Guardian in 2016: "When James and I got married almost 12 years ago, one of his aunts said to us: the best bit of advice I can give you is to simply be kind to one another. She was right."
Of their shared sporting passion, Naga, 45, added: "James and I are both golfers, and I think it's great for our relationship.

"It gives us a few hours together when we're walking and talking and catching up; it really makes a difference. Golf takes you on a journey together, and it means you stay in touch with one another."

She started playing golf in 2008, admitting: "Now I'm addicted and play five or six times a week – those are my golf shoes on the floor and on the table are my trophies."
As she spoke from her Hertfordshire home, Naga added: "My first date with James was at a pool hall. We love snooker and pool and this is one of the cues for our snooker table – it's three-quarter-sized with grey baize, which is a bit more stylish than green."

Earlier this year, the BBC presenter made waves after she brilliantly responded to one viewer's criticism of her. One viewer had tweeted: "I'm not known for my own sartorial elegance but why would anyone like Naga Munchetty feel the need to wear high-heeled shoes like these on a BBC TV breakfast news programme? Discuss…" Naga simply replied: 'Because I want to."
Comedian Lenny Henry was quick to back Naga, tweeting, "Them shoes rock hard" while ex Welsh rugby captain Gareth Thomas added: "If I could pull em off then I would defo wear them!!! Plus she looks amazing, plus so many other things, I'm not understanding this man's point."
