Gorka Marquez has sent an emotional five-word message to Gemma Atkinson as she shared an adorable video of their children as he continues to spend time away from them. The Strictly Come Dancing star was forced to leave his fiancee, their daughter Mia and newborn son Thiago days after their newborn's arrival.
Gorka, 32, and Gemma, 38, announced their son, Thiago Thomas Marquez, had arrived on July 17. The pair, who met on Strictly in 2017, said their family was 'complete' just over four years after their first child, daughter Mia, was born.
But it has been somewhat difficult for Gorka as just days after Thiago, or Tio for short, was born he had to leave the family home in Greater Manchester and headed to London where the rehearsals for Strictly are taking place ahead of the new series starting in September.

And Gorka was left pining to go home when Gemma, who hails from Bury, shared a video of their two children to her Instagram Story. It showed four-year-old Mia laying alongside her baby brother as she attempted to get him to say 'Papa' and while the one-month-old didn't manage it, she still praised her baby sibling.
Resharing the video to his own Instagram Story, Gorka simply wrote: "Can't wait to be home," alongside a string of hearts and faces holding back tears emojis. He then later took part in a Q&A with his fans and followers and reiterated his keenness to be back with his family.
