This Morning's Rochelle Humes debuts sweet tattoo tribute to kids in unlikely place
Former The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes has revealed a lovely tribute to her three children in the form of a tattoo. Rochelle, who co-presents music quiz show The Hit List with her husband Marvin and often hosts This Morning, has a tattoo on her neck of the letters A, V and B, representing her three children, Alaia-Mai, Valentina and Blake.
Rochelle has been married to JLS star Marvin Humes since 2012, when they held their wedding at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Their eldest daughter Alaia-Mai is 11 years old, while Valentina is seven and son Blake has just turned four.
Rochelle’s neck tattoo isn’t her only inking. In 2012, she got a tattoo to celebrate their upcoming wedding, featuring her and Martin’s initials entwined on her wrist. She also has a second tattoo devoted to her husband, featuring the symbols for Aries and Pisces, united by the word “love,” written on her other wrist.

Rochelle, 35, also has a special tattoo in honour of her late friend Ebby, that she revealed to fans on Instagram in April last year. She wrote: “Happy Birthday to our angel in the sky, so lucky that you were ours. Always Ebby,” alongside a black and white photo of her tattoo. The tattoo said “Always Ebby” followed by a heart.
Recently Rochelle spoke exclusively to OK! about looking after her beloved children while presenting The Hit List, growing her brand My Little Coco and taking on a new role as an ambassador for laundry company Dylon.
“I’m blessed that my job is so varied,” she says. “And lucky my mum is retired so she can help with the kids. They’re all school age now, so they’re kind of in childcare by default, so between 8.30am and 3.30pm I fit in as much as possible.”
She also revealed that her kids bring out the emotion in her, and she was especially moved when son Blake turned four a few weeks ago. “I cried three times on his birthday,” she admits. “I was making a video and looking at pictures from when he was born, I was a mess! I’m not an emotional person day to day, but my kids are my weak spot. I want to wrap them in cotton wool for as long as possible.”
She has also had to adjust to her eldest daughter starting secondary school, a true sign she is growing up. “It’s the hormones and things, it ramps everything up,” Rochelle admits. “Alaia’s really adult at the minute. She still does really young things, but she can really read a room. She could easily be with me and my girlfriends and have an interesting conversation.”
