Kelly Brook, the British model and television personality, is once again making headlines—not for her glamorous red carpet looks or television appearances, but for her candid revelations about married life with her husband, Jeremy Parisi. As Valentine’s Day approaches, Brook has peeled back the curtain on her ten-year relationship, sharing intimate details and practical advice for couples seeking to keep their romantic spark alive.
In a series of interviews published on February 7 and 8, 2026, Brook, now 46, spoke openly about the rhythms and realities of her marriage to Parisi, a 40-year-old French-Italian model and actor. The couple, who first connected in 2014 and married in 2022, have become something of a modern love story—one marked by passion, playfulness, and a willingness to embrace both the highs and lows of long-term commitment.
According to The Sun, Brook didn’t shy away from discussing their sex life, admitting, “I do think that a week is a long time to go without sex with a partner. After a week, one of you has to instigate it. If no one’s instigating it, that’s weird.” She went on to explain that while she and Parisi are “at it every day” during holidays, maintaining that same level of intimacy at home is a different story. “When we’re on holiday, we’re at it every day, but at home it gets a lot more difficult to maintain that.”
This honest confession is hardly a one-off. Brook has been refreshingly open about the challenges that come with sustaining romance over the years. She shared with The Mirror that sometimes their dog sleeps in the bed, making them feel “like housemates,” and that her daily work on the radio can leave her too tired for intimacy. “It’s hard to keep it sexy all the time. We are definitely not at it every day at home. I work every day on the radio, and sometimes you just can’t be bothered,” she said.
Despite these everyday obstacles, the couple have developed strategies to keep their bond strong. Brook recommends romantic getaways and weekends away as a means of reconnecting, telling The Mirror that these trips are essential for “getting that time together.” She emphasized, “We really focus on going on holiday and having weekends away to get that time together. But with relationships, it’s not all about sex. It’s about intimacy, so it’s sometimes just about cuddles and doing nice things for each other.”
Brook’s advice isn’t just theoretical—it’s rooted in the couple’s real-life experiences. Their relationship was put to the test in December 2025 when Brook participated in ITV’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, marking the longest period they had spent apart since their relationship began. Speaking to the Daily Mail after her stint in the Australian jungle, Brook revealed, “We’ve never spent more than a day apart in 10 years, this was the longest time and it was really difficult. I don’t want to spend that much time away from him again.”
Parisi, for his part, felt the absence keenly. He told the Daily Mail, “I have been in the supermarkets and naturally went to buy Kelly’s favourite things, as I cook her breakfast every day. But I quickly realised she’s not here, which is sad. I feel like a lovesick puppy.” He added, “We always make sure to start every day having breakfast together, it’s quality time we cherish before getting on with our day. I love to make her granola, fruit, yoghurt with some honey on top.”
Brook’s sense of humor was on full display after she left the jungle, as she joked about needing to be “extra quiet” in their hotel room because they were sandwiched between Vogue Williams and Parisi’s sister. “Do you know what, I’ll drop some ear plugs into both of their rooms tonight, it’s the least I can do,” she quipped to the Daily Mail.
Their journey together hasn’t just played out behind closed doors. In 2024, the couple appeared on the BBC’s Race Across The World, an experience that, by their own admission, brought them even closer. Brook told Radio Times, “The suggestion (to take part) came from my agent. Jeremy and I binge-watched every series over a weekend. I didn’t think I could sit on a train for eight hours without my phone. But we’d just got married and hadn’t had a honeymoon, so the timing was right.” She added, “It was something we could do together, completely out of our comfort zone. Jeremy, who was born in Italy and grew up in France, is brilliant at languages. (And) I was confident enough to be a bit more open about who I am.”
Parisi reflected on the experience, saying, “We’d done so much travelling together, but nothing this special, and we’re a good team. The highlight for me was discovering new cultures. And I’m less shy now. I spoke to so many people during the race that as soon as we got home, I started chatting to people in the street. I’m less grumpy. Less French.”
The couple’s love story began in a thoroughly modern way—Brook reached out to Parisi directly on Instagram. Despite a language barrier (Parisi spoke little English at the time, relying mostly on French and Italian), they connected over a shared passion for martial arts and fitness. Their relationship blossomed, leading to a 2022 wedding in Italy. Since then, they’ve kept much of their private life out of the spotlight, with Parisi preferring a quieter existence compared to Brook’s high-profile career.
Their chemistry has also been showcased on screen, with the pair starring in La Vita Italiana, a three-part mini-series for ITV’s This Morning that followed Brook as she adapted to life at Parisi’s family home and farm in Arpino. The show offered viewers a glimpse into their dynamic, balancing the glamour of showbiz with the reality of rural Italian life.
Brook’s willingness to talk openly about the realities of long-term love—complete with its awkward moments, logistical challenges, and the need for intentional effort—has resonated with fans. Her advice is both playful and practical: don’t let too much time go by without intimacy, make time for each other away from daily routines, and remember that a sense of humor goes a long way.
For couples everywhere, especially those navigating the demands of busy careers and the unpredictability of life, Brook and Parisi’s story is a reminder that maintaining a strong relationship takes work, flexibility, and a bit of creativity. As Valentine’s Day draws near, their example offers both inspiration and a dose of reality—proof that even after a decade together, it’s possible to keep the flame burning bright.
