This year has been testing for the couple, as Amber was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of 2021 and Robin announced the news to her fans in March.

She has since been giving updates on social media every now and then on Amber's progress, and has been inundated with support from her loyal followers. The couple met on a blind date in 2005 set-up by mutual friends.
