‘It’s been quite the adventure already. We’re in such a bubble of excitement. It’s true that happiness is the greatest success. I’m just very grateful for such a beautiful chapter.’

Roxanne added that her husband doesn’t care about fame and will make an ‘amazing’ father.
She said: ‘My dad walked out on my mum when I was born so I never truly believed in things lasting or people sticking around. But I met J and he’s been in my corner from day one.
‘One day he thanked me for ‘being the reason he looked forward to coming home’ which he said he hadn’t felt since before his mom died. That was the most precious thing I’d ever heard.

‘It was only when I made definite changes to who and what I allowed into my life, I felt a real positive difference. And it showed because really great things started happening once I closed a lot of doors for good.

‘Our friends keep us off their social media pages for privacy. It’s been such a victory for us.’
