Jeff Brazier and wife Kate Dwyer appear in great spirits as they enjoy a romantic picnic

They’ve been relishing in some quality time together amid UK’s coronavirus lockdown after experiencing marital issues.

And Jeff Brazier and wife Kate Dwyer appeared happier than ever before as they enjoyed a picnic with their pet pooch at a local park in Essex on Saturday.  

The TV presenter, 41, who is father to Bobby, 16, and Freddie, 15, from his relationship with the late Jade Goody, and the PR director, 29, treated themselves to a rare break from the kids as they giggled and napped during their romantic outing.

The former footballer cut a casual figure in a grey ensemble, featuring a classic T-shirt and matching shorts.

Due to the closure of salons amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Jeff has grown a full beard and ‘do, which he wore into a comb-over style.

Opting for comfort, Kate kept cosy in a baggy striped shirt-dress, which skimmed her thighs.

The brunette beauty wore her tresses in a straight fashion, while protecting her eyes from the sun in a pair of circular-framed shades. 

The pair both lead busy lives in their own right, but have been appreciating their downtime together during the global crisis.

Earlier in the lockdown, reality star Jeff shared a rare snap of the couple, where he confessed time in isolation has been a ‘rest’ for their romance. 

He penned: ‘What a test this is for people’s relationships! I’ve really enjoyed having the wife around because we clearly make a great team. 

‘We’ve reorganised the house from top to bottom, taken the time to binge on Netflix (Ozark) and continue to help each other stay positive and focussed in these slightly strange days of isolation.

‘That said she’s just given me 2 jobs to do so if I sit around writing this post much longer I’m sure she’ll add another..#teamwork #encouragement #support #time #love #care #reset.’ [sic]

At the end of last year the media personality spoke about concerns he had with his marriage.

He told MailOnline at the time: ‘Being married makes you feel more settled, but life doesn’t feel much different because Kate has a wonderful career in PR where she works very hard and long hours… 

‘So it’s still just me and the boys at home a fair bit. I’m not sure whether we’ll have children. I’m just as happy if we do or don’t, and I’m content to be patient and let Kate figure all that out.’

‘However, they have had some difficulties but they are doing their utmost to work through them together and will continue to do so in private.’
