Giovanna Fletcher recently celebrated an incredible 20 years with McFLy singer Tom Fletcher but admits it hasn't all been a walk in the park.The Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcaster, 38, revealed in an exclusive chat with OK!

that the couple have had "their moments" but have always managed to work through them as a team. Now parents to their three sons - Buzz, nine, Buddy, seven, and five-year-old Max - Giovanna says they've learnt the key to sticking together when life gets tough. “I think self-awareness is really, really important,” she told us. “So when you’re being a bit of a plonker, acknowledge it." She continued: "Humour has also been a massive thing for us, knowing when something is ridiculous and being able to laugh at it. “Patience is very important too.

All couples have their moments and you realise there are phases that might have nothing to do with you, that you have to ride through and not be afraid to talk about because you’re a team.” The couple actually met 25 years ago as fresh-faced teenagers at the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London where they were both studying.

They didn't get together as a couple until October 2003, when Tom, also 38, was already working with bandmates Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd in McFly.
