WITH a pair of popstars turned presenters for parents, it’s no wonder Rochelle and Marvin Humes’ children look just like little celebs themselves.
And the Saturdays star and JLS singer’s mini-me’s – daughters Alaia-Mai, ten, Valentina, six, and son Blake, three – certainly have the lifestyle to match.
Since they started their family, Rochelle, 34, and Marvin, 38, have showered them with love, showing how they’ve marked their special milestones on their social media accounts.
This includes everything from extravagant birthday parties to luxury holidays and even mixing with the rich and famous.
But the couple – who tied the knot eleven years ago and went on to renew their vows in a romantic Italian ceremony – have also struck a balance and ensured their feet stay firmly on the ground and value family time.
Here, Fabulous looks at The Hit List hosts’ VIP life alongside their kids – and why they’re building a dream house for them as we speak.

12When it comes to their home, the Humes’ offspring have quite literally grown up in style.
Rochelle, Marvin and their children previously lived in a mega-mansion that cost an eye-watering £3.3 million and came complete with a state of the art gym and walk-in wardrobe.
Each of the kids had appeared to have their own rooms, with their youngest Blake’s nursery following suit and featuring a black and white monochrome design, double bed, cot and personalised touches.
However, the piece de resistance of their pad came in the form of their kids’ amazing playroom. The humongous space had a bespoke design with a stage, slide, play area, dressing up corner and

But earlier this year, Rochelle and Marvin sold up and revealed they had bought a plot of land for them to build a home even bigger and better – and it’s set to be out of this world as they’re doing it from scratch a la Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright.
“I’m moving in every single sense of the word,” Rochelle wrote on her Instagram. “First of all, with the house, we found ourselves in a position where we got an offer on our house. Anyway, crazy, it happened out of the blue.
“But we have found a plot in a spot that we have always loved… so we’re going to build a house. I’ve never built a house before.
“We are now in a rental for 18 months to two years whilst we build hopefully the forever home.”
We can only imagine what theirnext home will look like!
VIP HOLIDAYS
Rochelle and Marvin seem to be firm believers in the phrase 'work hard, play hard'.
In between their hectic work schedules, the duo are keen to get some much-deserved R&R and have planned some incredible looking family vacations.
In the past, destinations have included exotic locations as far flung as
And this year alone they’ve jetted off to Dubai, where they lounged around a luxury pool, and Portugal, where they created lasting family memories on the picturesque beaches.
Plus, they’ve enjoyed other mini-breaks and country retreats, such as when they took her girls and Blake to the plush Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire.
And Rochelle also makes time to carve out some “girl time”, as she proved when she uploaded a photo album from her holiday to LA alongside her daughters.
She wrote on social media alongside the pictures in May: “Sorry I’ve been quiet… May half term has been very ‘May heart full’ #girlstrip.”
PERSONALISED PARTIES
There ain’t no party like a Humes family party – or it definitely looks that way.
To celebrate each of their kids’ birthdays each year, Rochelle and Marvin pull out all the stops to make them extra memorable.
For Alaia-Mai’s ninth birthday last May, they outdid themselves when they organised an epic Coachella-themed bash for their little girl, who was all dressed up for the occasion.
The party saw their back garden completely transformed into a mini festival, which had its own food stalls, bar, balloon display, chill out area and a personalised print, which read ‘Laichella.”
Meanwhile, Valentina has also had her fair share of fun on her birthday, having had various big events over the years.
Her most recent one saw Rochelle decorating their home with countless balloons in a bubble theme.

She said at the time: “So Valle’s nickname is Bubbles, because that’s what her little brother decided she was called. Never Valle, only Bubble.
“And she’s obsessed with pastel colours, so this is what House of Balloons and Parties and Signs helped me come up with.”
“It’s the cutest thing in the world and I hope Blake never stops calling her Bubble because it’s now just her name.
And despite recently revealing Blake doesn’t like parties, Rochelle made sure to celebrate their little one’s third birthday in October in style.
Uploading a series of snapshots from the day – including how they’d transformed a garden with banners and straws featuring Blake’s face, she wrote: “Our little Blake doesn’t like parties in fact, he’s petrified.
“It’s a real phase we are going through basically, we went to one party with a Hulk mascot and our life changed.
“We literally can’t even say the word ‘party’. Today his little ‘non-party/party’ was just perfect for our boy.”
FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES
Sometimes it pays to have a famous mum and dad, as the Humes children have come to discover.
Rochelle and Marvin’s have accompanied them to great events, including Marvin’s recent JLS tour, and the premiere of Disney's The Little Mermaid.
But their eldest daughter Alaia lucked out when she got to rub shoulders with royalty.
Rochelle took Alaia as her plus one to an event hosted by Kate Middleton and The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood at London’s prestigious BAFTA earlier this year.
While there, Alaia got to meet the Princess herself, shaking hands with her and beaming from ear to ear as the photographers captured the moment the little girl will surely remember forever.
Meanwhile, former X Factor Marvin star previously revealed that even when Blake was born, famous faces were amongst the first to shower him with gifts.
Speaking after he came into the world, Marvin said: “When Blake was born, Frank Lampard sent me a signed Baby-gro and one that wasn't signed.
