Matt Willis has issued a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Emma, as they marked a special occasion. The Busted star has been married to his TV presenter wife since 2008 and they share three children.
The couple also enjoy a close working relationship as they front hit Netflix show, Love Is Blind, and also hosted the Cunard’s Queen Anne naming ceremony in Liverpool last year. They also regularly share updates from their happy lives away from the screen on Instagram.
Matt has taken to the social media platform to reveal Emma celebrated her 40th birthday this week. He shared a snap from The Voice UK presenter’s birthday celebrations as he said: “Happy birthday to my unbelievable, powerful, beautiful, bad a** wife.
“I love you more now than ever. We have been together for 20 years now! What a ride. I am literally who I am today because you love me. And I love everything about it. You are actually the coolest person In The world. Still can’t believe you’re my wife.”
Emma took to the comments and said: “Always and forever baby.” Celebrity followers took to the comments to wish Emma well on her special day.

Matt also heaped praise on Emma in an exclusive interview with the ECHO last year. Matt spoke about his sobriety journey in the interview as he continues to devote his large platform to bravely awareness on addiction.
Matt is determined to remove the stigma around seeking help for addiction problems – and said he has never been in a better place in his own sobriety journey. The musician said focusing on his sobriety is so important to him as it is only through this why he has been able to rebuild his happy family life with Emma and their three children.
He told the ECHO: “Recovery comes first because it has to and, without that, everything falls apart. Then it’s family and then it’s everything else.
“I’m really proud of my relationships and that’s something which I work hard on. And that’s what keeps me being able to do everything else.
“My kids are the thing I’m most proud of and the fact I’m still married, which is a mind melter.” He laughed: “How have I pulled that off? She’s way out of my league.”
