He romantically captioned the post: ‘I could have picked from a thousand pictures of my wife @katebrazierpr looking beautiful. 

‘So today’s her special day and it’s been wonderful. Walking Mabel, playing tennis, little stop off at a beautiful cafe on the Heath for a tea, her favourite @sheeshchigwell for lunch & her other favourite @gauchogroup for dinner. 

‘It’s been a great day and I’m glad it was special for you because you are special for me.’

The couple tied the knot nearly two years ago, but experienced some problems late last year, with Jeff pictured not wearing his wedding ring.

Now, the pair are back on track as a result of spending more time together, telling HELLO! magazine that they were able to ‘pause and reset’ their marriage.

Jeff explained: ‘Now we are a million times better because we took the time to invest in ourselves. 

‘I am so proud that the two of us have got to the point where things are more straightforward and more simple and easier than they have ever been between us. 

‘We are stronger for the two months that we’ve spent together with time to just focus on one another. Kate and I have had an opportunity to press pause and reset.’

PR director Kate added: ‘For us, day to day, we have realised how much we love each other’s company. Marriage isn’t always easy and our struggles were often because we didn’t see each other. Now we are stronger than ever.’ 

Jeff went on to explain that he is a ‘better’ person when Kate is around, and marvelled at the amount they have been able to achieve when working together, including renovating their house.  

‘I appreciate all couples need their space, but I am genuinely better when Kate is around.

‘We like to get stuff done, to roll our sleeves up, and it’s no coincidence that the house has come on bundles since lockdown.’ 

The couple have been in lockdown with Jeff’s sons, 15-year-old Freddy and Bobby, 17, whose mother Jade Goody died when they were four and five.   

At the end of last year, media personality Jeff 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.’

A representative confirmed the pair were still working on their marriage, following a report from The Sun which claimed they had unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Jeff’s spokesperson said: ‘There is categorically no split between Jeff and Kate. We’re slightly bewildered how the story has come about.

‘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.’

The duo tied the knot in a romantic Portuguese cliff-top wedding ceremony in September 2018 following a five-year relationship.
