The couple met when Chloe was a back-up dancer for JB’s pop band JLS – while the singer described the big day as “the best day of my life”.
Chloe and JB wed on the Scottish Island of Bute with JLS bandmates Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes and Oritse Williams in attendance.
But the star and his wife, who share two adorable children, didn’t end up renewing their vows after 10 years of marriage in 2024, and JB has explained why.
The 38-year-old told The Sun: “It was really weird because we always said 10 years.
“And listen, we’d have loved to have done it just to say that we did it, but it just didn’t quite feel right and I think we’re definitely in that place in life where it’s like we’re in the thick of it.”
JB went on: “We’re in the busy part of life, the kids are taking a lot of the focus and there’s not a lot of spare time and I think in the next ten years for example Ace will be 21, which is nuts, but I think at that stage when they’re sort of a lot more independent and doing their own thing, maybe at uni or at work, got their own house or whatever, then that’ll be the time to sort of get together and have some time for ourselves.”
Strictly runner-up JB also opened up on how he and wife Chloe keep the spark alive in their marriage, while being heavily involved in the world of showbiz.
Speaking on behalf of car insurance brand Tempcover, JB continued: “I mean, this, honestly, genuinely, it’s tough because it’s busy, you know, ultimately, and we’re both doing our own things.
“We’ve got our own projects on the go, and now we’ve got two children who are, you know, aspiring to be just as busy.”
The couple are parents to son Ace, 11, and Chiara, seven, and they’re both following in their parents’ footsteps.
JB continued: “My daughter is ust starting out and living a very full school life, but also sort of, you know, dabbling with entertainment as well.
“She’s just booked a voiceover for a very well known Sky Animation, which she’s very excited about.
“Then Ace is into his football, but he’s also done a number of different productions and TV and film and also obviously playing in the academy.
“It’s busy in our household and I think the biggest thing for Chloe and I is just taking stock and appreciating our relationship because, ultimately, that’s the foundation.
“Wherever we can we just take moments with each other, whether that’s going on holiday or a night out.”
JB is a busy family and career man, with no signs of stopping.
Not only is the start embarking on his brand new The Club Is Alive tour with JLS in November, but JB also fronts shows like The One Show, had his CBeebies show Down on the Farm, and a cooking show with his two adorable children Ace and Chiara.
Touching on family life with his wife Chloe, JB spoke about their summer plans and the fact that they are lovers of a game of shotgun when it comes to car journeys.
He said: “Three in ten argue with their kids about who gets the front seat in the car but that just doesn’t happen in my family.
“My wife is always overruling the kids, the unofficial rule is that wives overrule. But yeah, it’s great working with Tempcover, because everyone plays it differently and certainly over the years when I first started driving I played shotgun with my mates and the JLS boys too.”
New official rules launched by temporary car insurance brand Tempcover, backed by research and JB Gill of JLS, help end the Shotgun debate for smoother summer journeys.
