We totally adore pop star Frankie Bridge (nee Sanford) and footballer Wayne Bridge – both gorgeous, both talented and just lovely human beings.

And, of course, we love them so much more when they're serving up #couplegoals all over the shop.

They've captured our hearts from the very beginning and produced two of the cutest little boys our eyes have ever seen – little Parker, eight, and six-year-old Carter.

The Bridge love story is certainly an eventful (and very romantic one), so let's take you back to the very start.

Where and when did Frankie and Wayne Bridge meet?

Frankie and Wayne met in December 2010, several months after her very public spilt with McFly's Dougie Poynter. The pair kept things very low-key at first – here they are having a great time at V Festival 2011.

'Terrified' Frankie Bridge rushes son to A&E after he was left 'gasping for air'

A year before he met Frankie, Wayne was going through a very public and controversial spat with fellow footballer John Terry - who alledgedly had an affair with Wayne's long-term girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel shortly after they spilt in 2009.

The two footballers have understandably never seen eye to eye since. Wayne famously snubbed John's offer of a handshake at a match between Chelsea and Manchester City and has never spoken publicly about the events surrounding the scandal.

Luckily for us nosy folk, Wayne explained the story of how he first met wife Frankie during a chat with his fellow I'm a Celeb campmates in 2016.

"I was just on a night out, and James Corden was there," he explained. "He got her phone, put my number in it. And then put her number in my phone. And then we basically text a little bit, and just ended up going for dinner."

Good old James Corden playing the role of cupid! If only he could out his skills to the test and try and set us up on a date...

Ever the romantic, Wayne did all he possibly could to woo his Frankie. On her 23rd birthday in 2012, Wayne splashed out on a £135,000 Aston Martin Vantage car for her. And the extravagance didn't end there, either - as he even got her initials custom printed onto the seats.

What a keeper!

Frankie and Wayne Bridge proposal

Of course, Wayne gave his beloved Frankie the most romantic and heartwarming proposal ever. Why was it so good, you ask? Because it involved Frankie's other one true loves - her dogs!

Revealing all in an interview on the Capital FM Breakfast Show in 2013, Frankie said, "Wayne took me to a hotel and he got my dogs involved.

"I didn’t know my dogs were there and they came in in little bride and groom outfits. And Pixie had the ring around her neck on a ribbon."

Awwwwwwww!

Admitting that she adored the proposal, Frankie did say that it may have seemed unconvential for some, "I think for people who aren't dog fans it's a bit of a weird proposal so I feel like I only want to tell people who like dogs."

Why can't all dogs be involved in every single proposal?

Frankie Bridge first pregnancy May 2013

Weeks before they announced their engagement, Frankie had some incredible news to share with the world - she was pregnant with her first child! Wayne already has a son, Jaydon Jean Claude Bridge with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel.

Perfect timing!

Frankie became the third member of The Saturday's to journey into motherhood, sharing her amazing news on Twitter in May of that year.

"Some big news from me today! Wayne and I are having a baby," she said. "We are both SO happy and can't wait for his or hers arrival!"

A few months later, Frankie confirmed that she was having a little boy, posting an adorable snap of some boy's baby clothes on Instagram.

She wrote, "Having so much fun getting my little dude's clothes together! A little boy to add to the @thesaturdays crew! Can't wait to meet the cheeky monkey!"

Frankie gives birth to Parker - 18 October 2013

The couple welcomed their a little boy, named Parker Bridge. the happy couple shared their news with the world on Twitter, writing, "Wayne and I are so proud to say our little boy Parker Bridge was born this morning. 7lb 13oz. All doing well and absolutely besotted."

Frankie and Wayne's beautiful wedding - July 2014

A year on from their supercute engagement and the birth of their son Parker, the couple said 'I do' surrounded by family and friends at swanky location Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire after four years of dating.

And unlike many glitzy celebrity weddings, the whole thing was a completely private affair - no mag deal, nothing.

"Frankie and Wayne want to keep the ceremony as private as possible. Cameras are allowed, but they have requested that no pictures are posted on social media," a source told Heat magazine at the time.

However, there were plenty of famous faces at the nupitals: Frankie's fellow bandmates Una Healey, Mollie King, Rochelle Humes and Vanessa White to name a few, while it is believed that the pair were serenaded by JLS, who reunited for the special performance.

After the ceremony, Frankie replied to fan congratulating her on Twitter, writing back, "Thank you so much for all your messages. Wayne and I had the most amazing weekend surrounded by everyone we love. Can't believe it's over!"

Frankie and Wayne's wedding photos - October 2014

A few months later, a nostalgic Frankie delighted fans with some pictures of her "amazing" day. Posting two back and white snaps on Instagram, she captioned a picture of her and Wayne laughing whilst taking a walk.

"What an amazing day," she wrote.

The second snap showed the newlyweds kissing the cheeks of their beautiful baby boy Parker, and she captioned it, "Made even better by this little man."

Frankie Bridge Strictly Come Dancing

2014 was quite the year for Frankie and definitely one that she'll remember for the rest of her life.

Not only did she marry the love of her life, she also made the whole entire nation fall in love with heras she took part in Strictly Come Dancing.

Partnered with Kevin Clifton, the pint-sized pop star made it all the way to the finals.

Our personal highlight? When she was painted green for a "wicked' tango to musical hit Defying Gravity during Musicals week.

Like the true devoted husband that he is, Wayne was full of support for his twinkle-toed wife - cheering her on every single Saturday night.

Frankie's second pregnany - January 2015

Just as the Strictly Come Dancing tour was about to kick off, poor Frankie Bridge was forced to step down after being diagnosed with the same debilitating morning sickness Hyperemesis Gravidarum that the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, suffered from whilst expecting all three of her children.

"So excited to tell you that Wayne & I are expecting another baby later this year," Frankie tweeted on 8 January.

"We can't wait for Parker to have a little brother or sister."

Baby Carter is born - August 2015

On 15th August, Frankie took to Twitter to announce the birth of her second baby, another beautiful baby boy.

She said, “Our gorgeous baby boy Carter Bridge was born this morning.

“He is absolutely perfect - Parker is so excited to be a big brother!”

But, while all seemed calm at the time, she admitted that things were a LOT more flustered on the day - particularly as Carter arrived earlier than he was supposed to.

Speaking with OK! Magazine, she explained, "I was booked in for a C-section on the Monday [August 17] but at 6pm on Friday evening my waters broke.

"I’d been having Braxton Hicks for a few days before but we were still both so surprised."

She added that she felt very unprepared for her second son’s entrance to the world, saying, "I'd been so laid back about it all because I thought I knew exactly when he was coming - I hadn't even packed my hospital bag until a few days before."

The perfect Bridge family

Content with their two boys, Frankie and Wayne look like the picture of happiness. But would they ever expand their brood?

She told Closer Online back in September 2016, "I don't know. I had those two quite close together and at the minute I'm enjoying being able to go back to work, and see my friends more. Wayne and I have a little more time together to be able to just enjoy them!

"I think when you've got a baby it becomes so much about the baby - you're just trying to get everything done! Now they're a little bit easier and I can just have fun with them, so if I did [have more children] they'd have to both be at school."

Wayne Bridge talks about their sex life on I'm A Celebrity

Despite impressing I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! fans with his cool, calm and collected persona back in 2016, Wayne did put his foot in it with the missus when he opened up about their sex life on LIVE TELLY.

Awkward.

During a Dingo Dollar Challenge, grumpy Kiosk Kieth asked the burning question 'what percentage of parents say their sex life is better since having kids' and it wasn't long before the debate got a little too personal.

Wayne moaned, "Well for me it ain’t, you don’t get as much [sex] do you.”

Later to camera Wayne revealed him and Frankie tried "everything out" before they had kids and their sex life was always "up here".

He then blushed, saying, "Her parents will be watching this!"

Frankie, who was watching back at home, took to Twitter to beg her husband to 'shut up'.

"Ohhhhhhh @WayneBridge just stop talking.... I'm begging you!!!!" she wrote.

Frankie heads to I'm A Celeb to support Wanye

Awwwwww!

Yep, Frankie headed to Oz to help head up #TeamWayne down under, because of course she did.

Just before she hopped on the plane, she uploaded a hilarious photo of herself laying on the floorwith the caption, "When you're trying to pack for Australia… but your husband normally does it for you… and your mum comes upstairs to find you like this… #IHatePacking #ItsTooColdToThinkOfSummerClothes #LifeGoals #ImACeleb #TeamWayne"

Frankie Bridge I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Following Wayne's admirable effort in the jungle (he came fifth) Frankie clearly wanted a crack at the whip because in 2021 she took part in the show, too.

Except, instead of jetting of Down Under to be confronted with snakes and the infamous jungle, Frankie and her fellow campmates bedded down for the month at North Wales' Grywch Castle and competed to become King or Queen of the Castle.

Frankie quickly became a fan favourite on the show thanks to her cheeky personality, admitting that she farted into her sleeping bag on live TV.

Frankie Bridge bum cast

She also told the hilarious story of gifting Wayne a rather risqé present one Christmas.

"I got Wayne a cast of my arse. He used to say it as a joke, back when he was playing football," she explained. "What do you buy someone who has everything?

"He always used to be like, ‘I just want a cast of your arse…’ so one year I was like, ‘Fine that’s what you’re getting'.

"So I took my two best mates and you literally have to bend over and this guy literally has to slap all of this stuff on."

She added, "It’s like papier-mâché... slapping it all on. We have it up on the wall and it’s not like in the main part of the house, it's upstairs."

Back in Blighty devoted husband Wayne was in charge of running her social media and took to Instagram to prove Frankie wasn't lying.
