They are proud parents to four daughters, Leni, 12, Lulu, eight, Tobi, two, and Mia, 21, Alex’s daughter from a previous relationship.
At the time, Brendan told radio host Dave Thornton on the Fifi and Dave show: ‘I was a bit nervous Dave, I didn’t think she’d say yes.’
‘Because we’ve been married before and obviously been divorced. It was really beautiful with the kids there.’
While the couple have been engaged for several years now, they are yet to re-marry.
