The TV personality, 44, married Martin Bojtos in June 2022 after they welcomed daughter Noa in February 2021
‘As a parent you have to accept that you won’t have the time – or the energy – to do the things you did before your child came along.
‘Martin is more like, ‘Come on, we haven’t had time for ourselves in a while, let’s go to the bedroom’ than I am. I need a little convincing.”
She added that it is “so important” to keep the magic and passion alive, even if it isn’t easy.
Kate went on to explain that while people say having a child is the “hardest thing you can ever do,” actually keeping the magic alive “takes just as much effort.”
In the months before they got married in 2022, Kate revealed how they were in the ‘worst possible place for a couple’ as she detailed their relationship ahead of the wedding.
The Big Brother winner admitted she was ‘not prepared for the earthquake’ in their relationship after the birth of their daughter Noa.
In 2021, she had her first child Noa after long insisting she never wanted to become a mother, while her partner of nine years Martin, affectionately called Boj, was ‘desperate’ for children.
I talk to Kate Thornton about her Podcast White Wine Question Time, Kate explained: ‘Since we became parents, our relationship has changed so much. I want to say for the better, but unfortunately we both know, and are well aware, that we have not prioritized our relationship at all and that we need to take steps to improve it.

She told The Sun about therapy: ‘You talk things out and it helps you see things from your partner’s point of view, and it makes you think: ‘Well. . . Actually, maybe that was my fault’. It is extremely useful’
‘We’re getting married in two months and we’ve actually had the hardest year so far as a couple.
“But we know it’s because we became parents and your life changes so much when you become parents.”
She continued, “I wasn’t prepared for the earthquake in our relationship. I thought it would change my life, me personally, but I didn’t think about how much it would affect us as a couple, even though I had friends who gave me advice and said, ‘look, you’re both going to say things that you don’t say. mean, you’ll both be more tired than ever before.”
‘We went out for a curry the other day because I pointed out that we have only gone on a date alone twice since Noa was born a year ago. It’s not good enough.
‘I don’t feel like putting on make-up and finding something to wear. I want to sit in my pajamas and read a book.’
She continued: ‘We had only been away for our anniversary in June, four months after Noa was born… and we spent most of the time looking at the monitor going ‘ooh, is she okay?’. His mother was babysitting. So last week was great.
‘We talk, we communicate. We’re just better together.’
She added that it’s “so important” to keep the magic and passion alive, even if it’s not always easy
