Inside Holly Willoughby and Dan Baldwin’s solid romance and 13 year marriage

Holly Willoughby and Dan Baldwin celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary just days ago.

The showbiz power couple, who have since welcomed three children, have gone from strength to strength in their happy marriage.

To mark their anniversary, This Morning's golden girl shared a gorgeous throwback where they shared a tender kiss after saying their vows.

"I love you so much Daniel... totally blessed... my absolute," she penned at the time, alongside a globe emoji.

Giving off serious couple goals, we take a look at the secrets behind Holly and Dan's unbreakable relationship.

Holly was presenting ITV's Ministry of Mayhem in 2004 when she first met the show producer, Dan.

Three years later they tied the knot in a gorgeous wedding ceremony surrounded by family and a few celebrity friends.

According to The Sun, the duo have always made a great team and share a mutual respect for their professional lives.

An insider told the publication: “The relationship works despite the age difference because Dan’s always been there to act as a guiding hand to Holly and give advice on her burgeoning career.

“She was quite young when they got together and had just landed her first big job, while he was already an established producer, but it just clicked because they were in the same business, albeit on different sides of the camera.

“Her success means she has the higher profile in the media, while he’s always appeared to be the more serious one behind the scenes.”

In 2009, Holly also gave an insight into her bedroom escapades by admitting to some frisky preferences.

"I love wearing new shoes during sex – and not just because it’s kinky," Holly joked in an interview.

“I’m not a foot fetishist or anything, and I do enjoy saucy games with my hubby, but I have found the best way to break in new shoes is to wear them during sex.

Holly has revealed that she picked up some key tips from her mum and dad, who also renewed their wedding a few years ago.

Among the key things that Holly focuses on are trust and loyaly, according to Fabulous magazine.

"Another crucial thing Mum has taught me is how important trust, respect and loyalty are in a marriage,’ the blonde bombshell recalled.

"Mum and Dad are each other’s biggest fans and always back one another up … if Dan and I have a marriage like theirs, then we’ll be on to a good thing."

Holly and Dan are also parents to Harry, 11, Belle, 9 and Chester, 6 and have always prioritised their family life despite their hectic work schedules.

As well as keeping their kids out of the public eye, Holly has even teased in the past that she's not strictly opposed to extending her brood.

In an previous interview with Telegraph's Stella magazine, Holly said: "I'm always broody. Part of me wants another baby but part of me thinks that's not a good enough reason.

"Would it make the kids all have to grow up that big more because there was a new baby in the house? I don’t want to put that on them. I've almost decided not to – but not quite."

As many relationships faced the test of quarantine, Holly revealed that it was the 'little things' that Dan did during lockdown that kept their relationship strong.

She said on This Morning: "We'll be off in different parts of the house and I'll come back and he's made a cup of tea or put the washing on and that really makes a difference."

However, there were a few habits that Holly had to get used to during their time at home.

She added: "He's working from home and I had no idea he types so loud, no one needs to hit the keys that hard.

"It's especially when we're in bed and he is just finishing an email, it's so annoying.”

In 2016, Holly admitted that marriage takes hard work and couples should not underestimate that.

She told The Sun: "Marriage is something we have to work at.

"You're an idiot if you think you just get married and then you tick along happily ever after for the rest of your life.

"At the same time it shouldn't be too difficult, but I do believe tiredness has a lot to answer for. Everyone underestimates the effect it has on you as a couple."

Although the couple started off as just friends, Holly and Dan's solid relationship is the stuff of showbiz envy.

Thirteen years after they tied the knot, the happy couple's bond appears stronger than ever.
