Rochelle Humes pays tribute to husband Marvin as she reflects on her absent father

Rochelle Humes paid a sweet and moving tribute to her husband Marvin after reflecting on her own absent father.

Taking to Instagram to share a snap of her and Marvin cuddled up together on a beach in Dubai, Rochelle wrote a sweet caption reflecting on her childhood.

The This Morning presenter penned: "I didn’t grow up with a man in the house so I genuinely didn’t know it was possible to get THIS much happiness from 2…"

Before concluding with: "My boys…my world."

The gorgeous family are currently enjoying some downtime abroad and have been keeping fans posted.

In the first snap that she shared, the 32-year-old could be seen standing on a beach with her JLS hubby while donning a black maxi dress and straw bucket-style hat from Prada.

The photographs that followed showed off Rochelle's gorgeous family as they enjoyed five-star Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa in Dubai – the resort that they are currently staying at.

The second snap showed the couple's one-year-old baby Blake who wore a red vest and black shorts with his curly locks tied into a top knot. Marvin commented on his son's hairstyle in the comments section, writing: "I wish I had Blake’s man bun tbh."

Fans of the family flocked to the comments section, with one writing: "So happy for you. Your Boys will love you unconditionally."

Another then penned: "Love seeing people who didn't have the privilege of a two parent household growing up, creating one for the next generation.

"Me and my OH were both super lucky; our parents are still together (and more importantly, both happy partnerships). It's a much bigger achievement when you haven't had that to look to yourself ."

While a third said: "You’re a totally sweet genuine person and deserve this happiness."

Rochelle and Marvin have been married since 2012, when the pair got hitched at Blenheim Palace. As well as son Blake, the pair also share daughters Alaia-Mai, eight, and Valentina, four.

The former star of girl group The Saturdays has previously spoken out about growing up in a single-parent family.

She was born in Barking and raised by her mum Roz Wiseman, after her parents got divorced when she was just three years old.

As well as being cared for by her mum Roz, she was also raised by her uncle Paul Ince – but her father Mark Piper was absent throughout.

Rochelle opened up about her father in 2020 when she sat down for an interview with Red Magazine.

The singer and presenter detailed: "For a long time it was just me and mum. She was sort of like Wonder Woman because my relationship with my dad was non-existent."

When the star was 17 she made a huge decision and wanted to meet her dad after becoming "curious" about him.

Speaking to the magazine Rochelle spoke of her decision: "I was so nervous, but I was open-minded; my mum had been very good at not talking negatively of my dad."

Reflecting on growing up with her mum as the main family figurehead, she said: "Bless her, my mum had always said to me, ''You know, some daddies just aren't very good with daughters – mummies are better with girls.'"
