She has been the former footballer&#8217;s long-time girlfriend for at least eight years. In 2014, reports stated that the couple were already engaged and have two children together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 43-year-old told the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/tv\/tv-news\/jimmy-bullard-im-celebrity-secret-4631518\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mirror<\/a> that year: \u201cMy amazing missus, along with my two fantastic kids, Archie and Beau, are the greatest things that ever happened to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking ahead of his journey on <em>I&#8217;m A Celebrity,<\/em> Jimmy said: \u201cMy family can\u2019t believe I\u2019m doing this either.
