When the pair got married earlier this year, Wilkins shared a shot of their wedding day and wrote: “Hearty congratulations to my magnificent son Nick and his wife Bree… what a wonderful day! #Soproud #Familyiseverything.”
Wilkins is a proud dad to five children; Adam, 50, Rebecca, 40, Nick, 39, Christian, 28, and Estella, 19. His daughter Rebecca has two children.
He previously told 9Honey Parenting about the “great joy” of having a large brood.
“Seeing everybody happy and together is my great joy,” he revealed.
“Oh, I just love it when we’re all together. I love them interacting with each other.”
He added: “There are a few different mums involved.”
“But we never used the word half, we never used the word step, they all have their own relationships with each other.”
