They reconciled again in 2004 and three years later Emma announced that she was pregnant with her first child, Beau, now 11.
In May 2011, Jade and Emma welcomed second son Tate, now seven - just over three months after announcing their engagement.
Emma previously insisted that she didn't ever plan on marrying her long-term partner, saying at the time that they "don't need a wedding to justify our relationship", however, in 2017 the star appeared to change her tune.

Speaking at the time, the blonde beauty revealed that they already refer to each other as husband and wife.
Discussing marriage, she said: "It would be nice, wouldn’t it? I should get round to it. He already calls me his wife and I call him my husband.
"We’re both Aquarians and a little disorganised, so we never get round to organise anything!
