There's been a lots of heels this week," the 38-year-old told E! News when asked about her pregnancy cravings.

The happy couple first met when they presented talent show Fame Academy together in 2002. The pair stepped out as a couple a decade later in March 2012 and married at St Isidore's College Church in Rome in September of the same year.
