Marnie was born in August 2016 and was followed by Milo in December 2018.

On BBC Breakfast on January 17, 2022, the couple revealed that they were expecting twins after first announcing their pregnancy the year before.

Speaking to  magazine at the time they revealed they were expecting twins, Kelvin said: "We've already got the best of both worlds with Marnie and Milo, so I didn't mind either way, but finding out we're having sons is amazing.

"It was the best day of my life. It was a moment of complete disbelief. I've never felt joy like it."

Liz added: "I felt every single emotion under the sun. First, there's double the worry.

"I thought about things like breastfeeding, how is that possible with two? How do you pick up two babies at the same time?

"I felt all of this in the space of 30 seconds. Kelvin was saying it's a miracle, and I was thinking 'How are we going to do this?' But now we can't imagine it any other way. We feel so lucky."

Who is his wife Liz Fletcher? 

Having had their first kiss as children, Kelvin and Liz have known each other since they were just eight years old, but didn’t officially get together until two years after Liz finished university.

On November 28, 2015, the couple got married in a secret ceremony following a romantic beach proposal in Wales. 

In 2020, following his Strictly Come Dancing partnership with Oti Mabuse, it was revealed they had actually split up 10 years ago due to sources saying Liz was jealous of other women.

They later got back together.

Liz is a fashion buyer and actor, as well as a voiceover artist, and has a Soundcloud account where she posts musical theatre song covers. 

Her most notable role as an actor was in the 2016 BBC drama In The Club.
