Floating across the gorgeous grounds of our lavish location like an ethereal goddess, the 41-year-old is clearly delighted to be outdoors, taking in the fresh air after a difficult year of lockdowns.
“Being outside gives me serenity,” she tells us. “It makes me feel connected and grounded.”
But that serenity may be short-lived, as once our shoot is done, Kel is off to throw a party for her excitable lockdown puppy Teddy’s first birthday, who she and partner Jeremy Parisi, 35, are the proud parents of. “I have to say, I can’t imagine life without him now!” she beams.
And Teddy isn’t the only man who has her smiling. Clearly besotted with her Italian beau of six years, Heart Radio presenter Kelly reveals, “They say when you’re in love there’s not enough time – and I completely agree with that. It’s flown by.”
Although the pair are stronger than ever, the actress says that marriage and children just aren’t “on her radar”.
“It’s very hard to change your ways when you get to your forties and I don’t think it’s for everyone,” she explains.
Here, former model Kelly opens up about her “kind and laid-back” boyfriend, the reasons she wanted to support Sunday’s Garden Day, and why she’s proud to have made it through “the most stressful year anyone’s ever known”…
Kelly, you and Jeremy seem really smitten! Did lockdown strengthen your relationship?
