He kept the children out of the limelight as they grew up and it’s only in the last year or so they’ve appeared more frequently on his social media accounts.

It’s been a big week for the Brazier family as Jeff married in Portugal on Saturday!

Jeff tied the knot with PR exec Kate Dwyer in front of friends and family in a romantic ceremony that saw Freddy and Bobby serve as joint best men.

He told Hello! Magazine, which exclusively covered the wedding: “I couldn’t be happier. This isn’t just any wedding, this is a really special one.”

Jeff and Kate announced their engagement in October, after Jeff got down on one knee during a romantic holiday in Ibiza.

They’ve been together for nearly five years, after meeting in 2013 when Jeff was filming for ITV in Mauritius and Kate was working on PR for the hotel where he stayed.

Jeff has often praised Kate both as a partner and a stepmum to his sons, saying: “It’s a massive responsibility for Kate but she’s been around us for over four years now. She’s perfect in that role.”

He also told Mail Online: “I love seeing the way she is with my children. It brings me immense amounts of pleasure – I feel like I’ve done well for them. It’s not just about putting the right person in my life for the long term, it’s putting the right female influence in theirs too and it feels really good on both levels.”

Congratulations to Jeff and Kate!
