Gemma Atkison and Gorka Marquez are planning to buy property in Spain
The 39-year-old actress is engaged to 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional Gorka, 33, and the pair are hoping to buy a "home away from home" in the European country by the end of the year, around the time of his debut as a judge on the Spanish version of the BBC Latin and ballroom competition.
Gemma told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We want to get somewhere so that we always have a home from home. It would be nice to have somewhere that I can just take them with my family. It would help me with mine and their Spanish, and Gorka’s parents could drive down. It’s something we’re hoping to do by the end of this year. We love Spain."
The former 'Hollyoaks' star has Mia, four, as well as eight-month-old Thiago together and insisted that they are "doing alright" since the birth of their second baby.
But Gemma joked a date night to themselves is being able to do the food shop in peace.
She said: "I think we’re doing alright. Everyone said twice the stress, twice the exhaustion, but it’s also twice the love and the lovely chaos. It’s just an understanding and we both know what the other person likes.
"We’re asked if we have date nights but we love being at home.
"The childhood punishment of going to bed early becomes adult pleasures. A date night for us, if my sister or mum can have the kids, is to do a big shop together in peace because you can’t do that with kids."
