THE POWER OF LOVE: ‘IT WAS SO EMOTIONAL – THERE WASN'T A DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE'

AFTER 10 YEARS TOGETHER BILLIE AND GREG SHEPHERD EXCLUSIVELY INVITE OK! TO JOIN IN THE CELEBRATIONS AS THEY LOOK BACK ON THEIR HAPPY RELATIONSHIP

- RHONA MERCER

Here at OK!, we don’t like to have favourites, but Billie and Greg Shepherd are right up there. And when we meet the reality stars to discuss their 10-year anniversary party, which we were invited along to, they’re as entertaining as ever.

Much like their dynamic on new show Billie & Greg: The Family Diaries, Greg, 36, is the one cracking jokes throughout, while a slightly more sensible Billie, 31, fills us in on the details of their “amazing” big bash.

The couple, who are parents to Nelly, seven, and four-year-old Arthur, tell us the two-day party, which took place at the Cave Hotel & Golf Resort near Canterbury, was much needed after lockdown.

And emotions at the event, which was attended by Billie’s sister Sam and her close pal Ferne McCann, were clearly running high, with Billie telling us that “romantic” Greg caused everyone to shed a tear.

But despite being more loved-up than ever, the mum-of-two admits that the new dream home they’re building in Essex is making them bicker a lot. And she says they are just like any other couple when it comes to having their ups and downs.

“There’s never been a make or break point,” Billie says. “We tend to let each other know when we’re getting on each other’s nerves.”

Here, the happy couple take a trip down memory lane and reflect with OK! on 10 years together as they talk foodie first dates, how parenthood has changed their relationship and what they love most about each other…
