July 5th 2024.
As Matt Willis, the popular star from Busted, celebrated his 16th wedding anniversary with his lovely wife and presenter, Emma Willis, he decided to commemorate the special occasion in a unique way. In a bold and daring move, he got a tattoo of Emma on his leg. The couple, who are set to co-host the UK version of the hit Netflix series Love is Blind this summer, first crossed paths back in 2004 and began dating a year later. Their love story culminated in a beautiful wedding ceremony in July 2008, and they now share three children together - Isabelle, 14, Ace, 11, and Trixie, seven.
To express his love and appreciation for his wife, Matt took to Instagram to share a heartfelt post on their anniversary. Along with a picture of his new tattoo, he wrote, "I love you more than ever. 16 years and it keeps getting better. Thanks to @tomftattoo for your amazing work and fitting me in just in time for today." The tattoo, which covers his entire calf, features a black ink background and a detailed portrait of Emma. Her face and skin are shaded in grey, and she is depicted wearing a stunning black dress.
While the gesture was meant to be sweet and romantic, some fans were taken aback by the tattoo's resemblance to Emma. Many took to the comments section to express their surprise and disbelief, claiming that the tattoo did not actually look like the 48-year-old Big Brother host. One fan even joked, "Happy anniversary, nice tattoo although it looks more like Miley Cyrus! Guessing Emma is a big fan of hers!" However, there were also those who defended Matt and his tattoo, with some saying it resembled celebrities like Eva Mendes and Angelina Jolie.
Despite the mixed reactions, the couple remains unbothered and continues to bask in the joy of their anniversary and their upcoming hosting gig on Love is Blind UK. In a statement, Matt expressed his excitement, saying, "I'm so excited to be presenting the U.K. version of Love Is Blind with Emma. We love the show!" He also added that it had been a dream to work together and witness the show's process unfold. Emma shared the same sentiment, saying, "Experiencing this new project side by side has been really amazing, and I can't wait for people to come on this journey with us."
However, their journey as a couple has not always been smooth sailing. In a powerful BBC Documentary titled Fighting Addiction, Matt opened up about his past struggles with drug addiction. He and Emma also candidly discussed how it had affected their relationship. Emma revealed that at one point, she used to keep a diary of Matt's drug consumption, which included up to six grams of cocaine a day. She also tearfully admitted how she used to search for him in different pubs, hoping to find him and bring him back home safely. But now, after five years of sobriety, Matt and Emma stand stronger than ever and continue to support each other through thick and thin.
