Rochelle Humes defends 'unconventional Christmas' as she jets off on 12th trip of the year
Rochelle and Marvin Humes have jetted off to celebrate Christmas in the warmth of Dubai, but it’s left some fans questioning their decision to spend the time away from home. The pair are joined on the family vacay by their three young children, as the former Saturdays star posted a range of pics at the sunny beach. "Our unconventional Christmas has begun,” she told followers.
Although the comments were filled with praise, one follower commented: “Do you go away every year? I thought after building your lovely home you would of wanted to stay at home.” However, Rochelle was quick to respond, telling the follower: “Once it’s ready that might be a different story,” alongside a cry laughing emoji.
The couple had builders working on their “forever home” from the ground up, as they bought a pot of land. Whilst their dream home was being build the couple had been living in a stunning London mansion with their children Alai-Mai, Valentina and Blake. Last month, Rochelle revealed they had finally made the move.

"Made it guys, I'm in! That was a really full-on couple of days,” Rochelle told her followers via Instagram last month. "We're getting there, we're very much getting there," she said before confirming: "It's not a finished situation yet but it's only been a day."
It’s been a busy year for Marvin and Rochelle. As well as working on their dream home, the couple have had plenty of time to get away as they’ve taken 12 trips away this year. This month, the pair were spotted in Paris, and also visited Ibiza in August. Just a month prior, they took a romantic trip to Lake Como, and also visited France in May when they took a trip to Cannes.
The start of the year saw them escape some winter sun as Marvin recovered from his stint in the 2023 I’m A Celeb jungle, as they visited the Maldives in January. Their Christmas trip to Dubai is their second trip to the city this year, as they also enjoyed time over there in February.
Now, the family are ending off a jam packed year in Dubai, and according to Marvin, there’s no place he’d rather be, as he commented on his wife’s pic: “Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world,” alongside a red heart emoji.
The showbiz couple began their love story in 2010, and tied the knot two years later. For their tenth wedding anniversary in 2022, the pair renewed their wedding vows in a show stopping ceremony in Lake Como.
