Jools and Jamie, who have been married since 2000, are doting parents to five children: Poppy, 20, Daisy, 19, Petal, 13, Buddy, 11 and six-year-old River.

The update comes after Jamie revealed that Jools has been suffering with her health in recent years. He admitted that his wife of 22 years has been suffering from long Covid and she still struggles with the side effects of the disease after becoming very ill when she contracted it back in 2020.

Jools uploaded this sweet snap on Thursday

"She's had bad Covid and long Covid, so she's been really affected by it, sadly," he said. "She's okay, but still not what she wants to be." He added: "It's been two years. She finds it deeply scary."

Jamie further revealed that even specialist doctors have been unable to help Jools. "We're all over Harley Street like a rash," he told Mail Plus. "But no one really knows anything. The data on long Covid is still piling in."

Despite Jools still struggling with the long-term effects, Jamie revealed it hasn't dampened her spirits. "She's been an absolute superstar," the star added.
