Gemma Atkinson has made it clear that she has no intention of marrying Gorka Marquez, despite being engaged for five years. The couple, who began their relationship in 2017, share two children: Mia, aged six, and Thiago, aged two.
Atkinson’s comments come as a surprise to some fans, given the couple’s long engagement. She stated emphatically, “I ain’t getting married to him. No chance.” This sentiment aligns with Marquez’s own views; he believes that marriage is merely a legal document.
On another front, Atkinson and Marquez met during their time on Strictly Come Dancing, where their romance blossomed. Since then, they have built a family together while also maintaining busy careers. Recently, Marquez announced his departure from the show after ten successful years.
Meanwhile, Atkinson focuses on her health and nutrition. She food preps on Wednesdays and Sundays to ensure her family eats well. Her favorite healthy snacks include blueberries, mixed nuts, and peanut butter-filled dates. She describes her obsession with 100% dark chocolate as beneficial due to its high antioxidant content.
Atkinson’s parenting style also reflects her commitment to healthy living. She prepares overnight oats with dried mango for breakfast and humorously notes that her children refer to boiled eggs as “Chucky eggs.” This playful approach adds fun to their meals while promoting nutritious eating habits.
The couple has not publicly discussed any future plans regarding marriage or additional children. Their focus appears to remain on parenting and supporting each other’s professional endeavors.
