Vernon and Tess tied the knot back in 2003,

They share two daughters together – Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 16.

In 2023, Vernon spoke about how he fell for Tess as soon as they met. “I fell in love with Tess instantly. It was that simple. Just boom, wow! She’s a woman, an independent woman,” he told The Guardian.

“That’s what was so attractive, and even to this day, what I find extremely attractive is that she is focused and driven. Which is fab, but then when you watch her with the kids… she’s unbelievable.”
