How long have Freddie and Rachael been married?

Andrew and Rachael tied the knot in 2005 in a lavish ceremony at the Pavilion Road Hotel in Knightsbridge, London.

However their marriage hasn't always been smooth sailing, with Freddie opening up about his drinking in the early years of their marriage, saying in his 2015 memoir: "Looking back, I feel for the missus. She used to get the worst of me.

"She didn't come out and celebrate when we won - that was with the lads - and I'd rock in at five in the morning, stinking and falling over. When we lost, she'd see me drowning my sorrows in the corner. And then your career is all over."

How many children do Freddie and Rachel have?

Rachael and Freddie are parents to four children, Holly, 20, Corey, 19, Rocky, 17, and five-year-old Preston.

Speaking about being dad, Freddie told The Sun in 2019: "When I’m at home, that’s the best part of my day. The best thing I do. And it’s not even the big things, it’s the trivial stuff.

"Taking them to the bus stop, watching them at school, or going to pick them up. Just spending time with them whenever I can. I do as much as I can when I’m at home, and I want to. It’s not a chore – although it has its moments."
