Abbey Clancy has opened up about the secret to her rock-solid marriage to Peter Crouch after 13 years.
The English model, 39, tied the knot with the former footballer, 44, in 2011 and they are gearing up to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary this year.
They share four children – Sophia, Liberty, Johnny, and Jack – and Abbey has now revealed how they have kept their relationship thriving over the years.
She admitted the key was ‘growing together’ throughout time with Peter and always staying ‘in sync’ with him.
‘When we look back at our wedding day, some of the choices we’ve made, some things we’ve done in the past, we’re like ”Bloody hell, who were we then?”,’ the TV star told The Mirror.
‘But today? We’re still in sync, we’ve got the same interests and the same things that make us laugh. It’s really a happy time for us at the moment.

‘We honestly do everything together, except work – actually even work, because we have our podcast.’
But Abbey barely defines it as work, adding their successful podcast – The Therapy Crouch – is filmed at home with her brother and cousin and simply ‘feels like we are having a chat’.
She stressed the importance of being authentic and remarked she ‘loves’ to have the opportunity of sitting down with her husband to cherish their memories.
The happy couple also recently revealed the strict rule they’ve placed on their four children to improve their behaviour.
They implemented an iPad and phone ban at Christmas, insisting it’s led to a more positive attitude in their household.
Speaking on their The Therapy Crouch podcast, Peter explained: ‘We said to them iPads and phones are gone and I feel we’ve stuck to that.
‘We made a conscious effort amongst ourselves to cut them out and they’ve properly cut them out.’
They mentioned other rules they’ve put in place include focusing on homework, spending time as a family before having quality time together once the kids go to bed.

Elsewhere, Abbey also recently recalled a very awkward Valentine’s Day she once shared with Peter.

Speaking on their podcast, she said: ‘One Valentine’s Day quite a few years ago, I was head to toe in Agent Provocateur [AP].
‘Dressed to the nines, with one of the macs that Pete bought me, and I thought we were going to stay in a hotel’.
However to her surprise, Peter had in fact organised a swanky night in for a couple, with a private chef coming to their home to cook them a meal.
Abbey continued: ‘So me and him are sitting at the table, and I’ve got the full coat on. Pete’s like: ‘Take your coat off’ and I’m like: ‘Oh no, it’s a bit chilly in here”.
‘And then the chef proceeded to sit with us through every course, and I couldn’t take my coat off because I literally only had AP on underneath. It was so awkward.’
Pete explained to listeners that this incident is the reason he buys his stunning wife a Burberry coat every Valentine’s Day, laughing: ‘You should’ve told me.’
To which Abbey replied: ‘I know. By the end of the meal, I was stuffed, and I put the fleece dressing gown back on.’
