Rochelle and Marvin Humes have jetted off on yet another holiday, this time to the Maldives, where they were seen packing on the affection in a series of sweet snaps
Rochelle Humes packed on the PDA with her husband Marvin Humes during their luxurious getaway in the Maldives, despite some previous flak for embarking on twelve holidays in 2024. The telly star took to Instagram to flaunt photos from their tropical retreat, sharing an adorable pic where Rochelle is seen leaping into Marvin’s arms on the beach.
In the middle of a spontaneous downpour, the couple embraced the wet weather for an impromptu photogenic moment full of romance and fun. Rochelle stunned in a chic black bikini, while Marvin was decked out in vibrant swim shorts. Her caption was a playful nod to their sun-soaked adventure: “When it rains in paradise, we dance in it.”
This follows the scrutiny Rochelle has faced for her frequent getaways. Just before Christmas, she revealed on Instagram that their family had chosen sunny shores over the typical festive holiday as they enjoyed an unusual Yuletide season in Dubai. They ditched hot chocolates and woollens for a beachy celebration in bikinis. Showing glimpses of their “unconventional Christmas,” Rochelle uploaded various snaps, reports the Mirror.
One sexy mirror selfie captured her well-toned body donned in low-rise trousers, a bikini, and a casual white shirt. She also shared a heartwarming picture cuddling her youngest, four year old Blake, and another catching Valentina Raine, aged seven, running happily alongside their dad. While Alaia-Mai, the eldest at 11, was not in the pictures, it is understood she joined the family for this special occasion.
Rochelle took to social media at Christmas to post a heartfelt picture with her hubby Marvin, during a romantic boat trip amidst the seasonal celebrations. Even though the couple was basking in holiday bliss, Rochelle’s choice to spend Christmas abroad rather than at home stirred up a bit of a debate among her followers.
One commented, “Do you go away every year? I thought after building your lovely home, you would have wanted to stay at home?” and then continued wistfully, “I would love to be able to afford to go away at Christmas. Instead, I will sit back and nosey through your pics. x.”
Quick as a flash, the down-to-earth TV personality responded with some news about their home: “Once it’s ready, that might be a different story”, she quipped, indicating their dream house is still a work in progress. Throughout the year, Rochelle and Marvin have kept fans in the loop with updates on crafting their ‘forever home’.
Despite the mixed feedback over her festive getaway, most of Rochelle’s massive 2.3 million-strong fan base chimed in with positive vibes. “The best. You and Marvin work so hard all year round. You deserve this family time”, one supporter gushed, while another sent Yuletide greetings, “Have an amazing Christmas, Rochelle, Marvin and family xx”. Another enviously remarked, “I’d rather be doing a Xmas like this”.
Rochelle’s jet-setting lifestyle saw her take 12 holidays last year, including trips to Paris in December and Cannes in May. She and hubby Marvin also enjoyed time in Ibiza over the summer, as well as Lake Como and the Maldives following Marvin’s stint on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
The star revealed in October how crucial alone time and couple’s trips are for her and Marvin as they balance their careers with raising their three children. “We’ve got three little humans, who our world revolves around, so we’re aware when we need to take time for our marriage. We try to take a couple’s trip at least once a year. That’s important,” she shared with OK!
One of those trips was to Ibiza, with Rochelle adding: “We were away for six days while Mum had the kids; it was brilliant and well worth it.”
