Sarah Marie and Matty Fahd are two of our favourite Gogglebox stars, especially since their eight-month-old son Malik joined the family. And if you need your faith in love restored then Matty’s recent birthday tribute to his wife on her 33rd birthday is the perfect fix.
Taking to Instagram, Matty shared a black and white photo of himself and Sarah Marie sharing a tender kiss at their wedding.
“Happy 33rd birthday my love @sarahmariemakeup. How did fate bring us together against the odds? How have I been so blessed to find you?” he wrote in the caption.
“You were made me for me and I for you and I’m grateful everyday you’re in my life. 6.5 years ago I sent you that text and it was the greatest investment I’ve ever made, it was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself,” he added.
“Thank you for all you do for me each day and thank you for giving me a son with your eternal smile, we couldn’t live without you. Happy birthday baby.”
Sarah Marie replied sweetly saying: “Thank you so much for such a beautiful and well written birthday message, I love my boys so much.”
Sarah Marie’s 33rd birthday is her first as a mum since the couple welcomed son Malik in November last year.
Whilst the youngest Goggleboxer is loving his new role at the moment, both Sarah Marie and Matty told TV WEEK that they would leave the show if it negatively impacted their family.
“If it were ever to have a negative effect on our health or our baby, we’d have to reconsider staying on Gogglebox,” Matty told the puublication in February.
“But for now, Malik is chilled. We’re blessed with him, he’s a good sleeper and good eater. At the moment, we’re feeling good, but we’re not looking too far ahead.”
“We were happy to keep going with the show,” Sarah Marie added. “We’re laidback parents, so that helps, and didn’t want to leave. We figured we’d play it by ear each season and see how we feel.”
Since the coronavirus pandemic hit, the Sydney-based couple have used the extra time at home as an opportunity to renovate their three-bedroom abode in Kingsgrove, South Sydney that they share with baby Malik and their beloved bulldog Bane.
Not only did they paint their house and front door but the couple also had their carport removed to open up the facade of the house and changed the outdoor lights calling it “a modern facelift.”
“We still have the front porch, garage door, driveway, fencing and landscaping to do. I can’t wait to see our end result,” Sarah Marie wrote on Instagram.
Matty and Sarah-Marie along with Jad Nehmetallah have been a fan favourite family since they joined the Gogglebox cast and are returning for season 12 that’s set to air at the end of August.
“The last season of Gogglebox hit our screens just as we were all forced into lockdown. Sharing this strange experience with our favourite families, as we watched the world change day by day, was a really powerful experience, loved by more people than ever before,” Group General Manager of LifeStyle, Wendy Moore said.
