										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gemma Atkinson has made it clear that she has no intention of marrying Gorka Marquez, despite being engaged for <strong>five years</strong>. The couple, who began their relationship in 2017, share two children: Mia, aged six, and Thiago, aged two.</p>
<p>Atkinson&#8217;s comments come as a surprise to some fans, given the couple&#8217;s long engagement. She stated emphatically, &#8220;I ain&#8217;t getting married to him. No chance.&#8221; This sentiment aligns with Marquez&#8217;s own views; he believes that marriage is merely a legal document.</p>
<p>On another front, Atkinson and Marquez met during their time on <em>Strictly Come Dancing</em>, 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Atkinson&#8217;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 &#8220;Chucky eggs.&#8221; This playful approach adds fun to their meals while promoting nutritious eating habits.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s professional endeavors.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stacey Dooley candidly discussed her feelings of obligation regarding intimacy with her partner, Kevin Clifton, during an interview on May 2, 2026. The couple has experienced a largely sex-less relationship since welcoming their daughter, Minnie, in January 2023.</p>
<p>Dooley expressed that sometimes she feels &#8220;obligated&#8221; to engage in sexual intimacy. She acknowledged that parenting has significantly affected their sex life, stating, &#8220;We need to start remembering how to have sex.&#8221; This revelation highlights the challenges many parents face in maintaining intimacy after having children.</p>
<p>Separately, Stacey and Kevin recently relocated to Liverpool. This move has not only brought them closer to family roots but also allowed Stacey to reconnect with her mother and the community in the area.</p>
<p>Stacey has a deep affinity for Liverpool, particularly for its residents. She mentioned that &#8220;Scousers bend over backwards for one another,&#8221; reflecting her appreciation for the local culture and support system.</p>
<p>As they navigate parenting and intimacy, Stacey and Kevin continue to adapt their relationship dynamics. The couple shares a three-year-old daughter named Minnie, which adds complexity to their personal lives.</p>
<p>Dooley&#8217;s openness about her sex life with Clifton resonates with many parents who struggle with similar issues. The transition into parenthood often brings unexpected challenges that can strain relationships.</p>
<p>Stacey&#8217;s comments are part of a broader conversation about the impact of parenting on adult relationships. Many couples find it difficult to balance their roles as partners and parents.</p>
<p>The couple&#8217;s journey reflects a common theme among new parents—navigating intimacy while managing the demands of family life. As they adjust to their new reality, both Stacey and Kevin remain committed to fostering a strong partnership.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Vernon Kay shares insights on the emotional hurdles of parenting as his daughters, Phoebe and Amber, embrace independence.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vernon Kay recently opened up about the emotional challenges of parenting as his daughters, Phoebe and Amber, navigate their paths toward independence. With Phoebe now 21 years old and studying in New York, and Amber nearing her 17th birthday, the family dynamic has shifted significantly.</p>
<p>As Vernon explained, &#8220;Now that Phoebe is 21 and Amber is nearly 17, our relationship with them is changing.&#8221; This transition brings both pride and apprehension for him and his wife, Tess Daly. They grapple with the reality of encouraging their daughters to leave the nest while secretly wishing they would stay.</p>
<p>In discussing modern parenting issues, Vernon highlighted concerns about drink spiking—a topic that was less prevalent during his own youth in the Nineties. He remarked, &#8220;When Phoebe started going out, we became acutely aware of drink spiking. I think that just didn’t happen in the Nineties.&#8221; This new reality adds another layer to parental worries.</p>
<p>Despite these challenges, Vernon continues to manage household chores while dealing with a bad back. He humorously noted how Tess reminded him about the lawn maintenance—one of many tasks he juggles at home. His sense of humor shines through even in mundane moments.</p>
<p>Tess recently visited Phoebe in New York and shared her experiences on Instagram, expressing her love for the city: &#8220;I love NYC. Maximised every minute on a whirlwind half-term trip and fell in love with this magical city all over again.&#8221; Her enthusiasm reflects the joy of family connections despite physical distance.</p>
<p>The couple married in 2003 at St Mary’s Church in Horwich, and they have navigated various stages of parenthood together since then. Their reflections on parenting reveal a common struggle many face as children grow older.</p>
<p>As Vernon balances his professional commitments—he humorously experienced a moment of hunger while presenting The One Show—he remains deeply invested in his family&#8217;s well-being. The evolving relationship with his daughters underscores a universal theme in parenting: the bittersweet nature of letting go.</p>
<p>This phase marks a significant chapter for Vernon and Tess as they adapt to their daughters&#8217; growing independence while managing their own feelings about it. The journey ahead promises both challenges and cherished moments as they embrace this new dynamic.</p>
