Big Brother has seen many romances over the 25 years it's been on our screens and yet only one couple has survived - and they've gone on to start a family of their own. Mikey Dalton, 42, and Grace Adams-Short, 39, met on Big Brother's seventh series back in 2006 and married three years later.
Now, the couple are parents to four adorable kids - Georgina, 13, Spencer, 10, Allegra, six, and three-year-old Atticus. The couple originally met in the Big Brother house, competing on the same series as Nikki Grahame and Pete Bennett.
They quickly fell in love and became engaged just four months after leaving the show. They welcomed Georgina first in 2012 before the arrival of their son Spencer three years later. It comes after Big Brother confirmed its return to ITV with a 'new look'.

Mikey marked the birth of Allegra in 2018 with a heartwarming Instagram post, writing: "Our newest addition to the world baby Allegra Portia...my little princess. Good job @gracve_adams_short."
Finally came Atticus in 2022, with the couple chatting to OK! magazine about his "intense" delivery. "I had to be induced early as I had a condition called anti-C, which can cause complications with the baby’s antibodies," Grace told the magazine.
"I never had it with my other pregnancies, it was stressful. All through the pregnancy I had to give blood every two weeks."
The birth involved "a lot of waiting". She added: "Then they gave me a hormone drip to bring on the labour. That is quite intense, as it goes from 0 to 100 in a very short space of time. I was 6cm dilated at 11.15am and then he was born at 11.45am, so the labour was super quick!"
Over the years, the couple have shared photos of their big family on social media, with Grace on a trip to Hamleys with Atticus earlier this year. "@hamleysofficial @thirty8london the best day," she wrote alongside a photo of her playing with a puppet.
While back in January, Grace shared snaps from the family's winter trip. She wrote: "Just got back from the best few days away in my favourite place. @mikeydaltonuk you spoiled us thank you," alongside a heart emoji. "The best start to 2025......"
