Kate Lawler and her husband had couples’ therapy twice on their month-long family holiday because parenting has taken a toll on their marriage.
The TV presenter and Martin ‘Boj’ Bojtos, who got hitched in June 2022, have struggled to navigate life as parents since their daughter Noa’s birth in February 2021, but the sessions have taught them to ‘fiercely’ protect their relationship.
She explained that they were focused on not letting the challenges of family life come between them in the wake of their therapy.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Kate posted a sweet video – set to Evren Hale’s song, Space Between Us – of herself and Martin cuddled up on a beach with their dog behind them.

The Big Brother 2002 winner penned over the clip: ‘I saw a quote that said, ‘If you can get through the stage of marriage where it’s all about the kids and working, you can get through anything…”
She admitted in the upload’s caption: ‘I know it’s not the same for everyone but becoming parents has been the hardest thing we’ve ever navigated as a couple.
‘During the month we were on holiday, we had couples therapy twice. Over the past five years, speaking with Diana regularly has helped us more than words can describe.
‘And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from these sessions it’s this…
‘Always remember to protect your relationship as fiercely as you do your family, because one day the chaos will settle, and it’ll be the two of you again.’
Kate’s fans praised her honesty in the post’s comments section, as one penned: ‘Thank you Kate so true navigate through the highs and lows grateful for your authenticity (sic).’
She ended the video walking away from the camera

They welcomed Noa into the world in February 2021, and the pair got married in a ceremony held in Shoreditch, East London, in June the following year
A second supporter typed: ‘It’s so important to talk about this, because kids take over your life – as they should, but if you don’t protect the relationship you had pre-children, you’ll drift apart once they leave home.
‘Therapy should be considered for each stage of our lives, we’d be a much better society for it!! (sic)’
And a third follower wrote: ‘I love this, so true.’
Kate and Martin met at the 2013 Kerrang! Awards in London, and he popped the question during a romantic getaway to Bruges, Belgium, in April 2018.
