Michelle and Kate do not have any children at the moment but Michelle was previously married to music teacher Rosie Nicholl.
Rosie and Michelle split in February 2017, just a few months after they said I Do.
At the time, Michelle explained to the Daily Star: ‘Unfortunately Rosie and I did split last year but are still good friends. It was one of those things where we did drift apart. We had a big fairytale wedding and I still love that day, it was brilliant.
‘It’s just really sad and one of those things that happens. We still have our dogs which we’ll share and nobody else was involved, it just happened and it was a mutual decision... I grew out of love and she became more of my best friend.’
