Proud parents Paddy and Christine McGuinness shared a rare family picture while wishing their twins happy birthday on social media within hours of the other, after speculation the pair have split up.
Rumours circled that Paddy, 48, and Christine, 34, might have broken up, after it appeared the heart tattoo on his wedding finger had disappeared.
But The Games star shut down the speculation last week when she flaunted her huge diamond wedding ring on Instagram, as she headed to a charity ball.
Today, Paddy shared a touching message about his twins Leo and Penelope, on Instagram, writing: "Happy Birthday to my first borns! 9 years old today and still my babies!!!! Love you Leo & Penelope, Daddy’s so proud of you."
Alongside the tribute, the Top Gear presenter posted a picture of his family on a day out at a fun park.
Leo and Penelope, who have autism, hold hands as they look at a giant inflatable obstacle course, with their faces turned from the camera.
Meanwhile Christine, wearing shorts and a strapless top, carries the pair's youngest child Felicity, five, who also has autism.
On her account Christine posted the same picture a few hours before Paddy, writing underneath: "9 years of loving you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my twins Leo and Penelope, you made my dream of being a mummy come true, I am so proud of everything you are, your good manners, the obstacles you overcome, your determination, sense of humour and your kindness to others.
"You are more than I could ever wish for. All my love forever my babies."
Last week, the Top Gear presenter was seen in a video posted to chef Chris Baber's Instagram on Monday. He held onto a canned drink, but his finger tattoo was missing.
Paddy originally got the inking to make up for losing his wedding ring twice since he married Christine back in 2011.
The cryptic post led many fans to believe Paddy and Christine had called it quits on their relationship.
It is unclear if the video, which is in selfie mode, has been flipped, meaning the tattoo is in fact still on his left hand.
Christine recently jetted off on a holiday with friends, and without her husband and children.
It was her first break in three years, and she shared lots of gorgeous snaps by the beach and pool.
When she returned Christine shared a video of herself on social media, where her engagement ring was on full display.
The model revealed she was off to a ball and had visited Cinders Party Dress in Liverpool to pick out a gown for her upcoming gala appearance.
Further rumours about a possible split started circulating earlier this month as the duo celebrated their 11th anniversary, but made no post on social media like they had done in previous years.
Paddy has also been absent from Christine’s social media feeds in recent months.
