This morning, Jesinta Franklin opened up about her relationship with husband, Buddy, to mark the release of the couple’s first joint cover together for marie claire, revealing the most romantic thing the footballer has ever done for her.

Speaking on Sunrise, the 26-year-old says Buddy helped to calm her while on set of their cover shoot.

“It was definitely a different experience,” Jesinta explains. “I’ve shot a lot of covers over the years but to have him on set was really nice.”

“It was actually really calming for me,” she continues. “He’s got a really calm energy, Bud, usually I get quite excited and anxious on set so it was nice to have him there.” 

The couple, who wed in November 2016, have been married just over a year, but Jensinta says their day to day hasn’t changed. 

“I don’t think our relationship changed at all,” she says. “On [your wedding] day you do feel like there’s a deeper connection, but I don’t think the day to day changes, I still yell at him for not putting the bins out on a Thursday morning,” she laughs.

The pair is collaborating for Dior’s Valentine’s Day campaign – Jesinta for Miss Dior; Buddy for the just-launched Sauvage Eau De Parfum –  which Jesinta says is fitting, as Buddy’s most romantic gesture was actually buying her a bottle of Miss Dior back in 2013.

“He’s romantic in his own Buddy way,” she says of her husband.

“For me, romance is in the simple things, so if I come home and the house is clean and there’s dinner on the table, that’s the most romantic gesture.”

“The most romantic thing he ever did for me – this is when he asked me to be his girlfriend officially – was when he bought me a perfume.”

“He was when he came back from the international tour in Ireland in 2013 and that perfume was Miss Dior. I still have the empty bottle today,” she smiles.
