It’s a special day in Zara<\/a> and Mike Tindall<\/a>‘s household.<\/p>\n

The couple are the proud parents to three children: 12-year-old Mia, eight-year-old Lena, and Lucas<\/a>, five.<\/p>\n

And the young trio will likely be leading the celebrations on Sunday as dad Mike marks his 48th birthday.<\/p>\n

The family live together on the Gatcombe Park estate<\/a>, owned by Princess Anne. It’s thought they will spend the day there privately enjoying Mike’s special day.<\/p>\n

The former England rugby captain isn’t known for big birthday celebrations, instead typically choosing to mark the occasion with his loved ones at their multigenerational home in Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n

Just one day earlier, Zara and Mike made an appearance at the Ascot<\/a> racecourse in Berkshire on Saturday, enjoying all the action from the Royal Box.<\/p>\n

The couple enjoyed a day out together at Ascot on Saturday<\/p>\n

Zara, 45, looked incredibly stylish in a smart grey tweed jacket layered over a white pussybow blouse, a brown leather skirt and a pair of slouchy suede boots. She topped off her chic look with a grey hat adorned with an oversized velvet bow.<\/p>\n

Mike looked dapper in a matching grey suit with a burgundy tie, and the loved-up couple<\/a> posed for photographs together, enjoying a date ahead of his birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n

Zara and Mike have been married for 15 years<\/a>, and their relationship<\/a> is clearly going from strength to strength. The pair are frequently seen laughing together and sharing loving moments on public outings.<\/p>\n

But, just like any other couple, they have experienced their share of difficult moments<\/a> – as Mike recently revealed.<\/p>\n

Mike talks about ‘difficult’ moments<\/p>\n

He told the Talk Horse podcast: “I think neither of us necessarily chase out confrontation until it happens. That’s sometimes not the best way of doing it.<\/p>\n

“But then when it happens, I think we’re probably pretty good at actually talking about it. You’ve just got to try and muddle your way through. It’s never easy, is it?”<\/p>\n

He then cheekily confessed that sometimes “you just want to annoy someone, just for the sake of it”, adding, “I probably do that a bit too much!”<\/p>\n

Mike also reflected on the fact that both he and Zara have been professional sports figures and therefore understand each other’s needs.<\/p>\n

Mike admitted he tries to make Zara laugh on competition days (@ Getty)<\/p>\n

He revealed that he tries to give his wife some space before her cross-country competitions, which require “massive focus”. But he added: “I try and make her laugh every now and again to remind her you don’t have to be that serious.”<\/p>\n

It’s a path he also tries to follow after a competition. “Depending on how it’s gone, you react in the appropriate way,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It could go really bad or it could have gone really well, where you can go, ‘You almost [expletive] up there!’ I think that’s where you know those nuances where you can either lean in, lean out. I think that’s how and why it’s worked so well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s a special day in Zara and Mike Tindall‘s household.
