And while Ola, 40, and James, 45, are kept busy as parents to three-year-old Ella, the spark in their romance certainly hasn’t faded.
In an interview with The Sun, the two gushed about their upcoming trip to Las Vegas to celebrate the special occasion… and that they might end up getting married after all.
James said: “You never know where you’re going to end up after a few drinks. We were there a lot before Ella was born and we like to unwind every now and then.”
“Maybe we’ll end up somewhere and say ‘I do,'” he admitted, while Ola chimed in, “In the Elvis Chapel!”
You would certainly be in good company, as “Elvis”‘s Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker got married in Sin City, as did Lily Allen and David Harbour, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, and Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.
Ola and James’ sex life is also at an all-time high, with the Polish beauty admitting that their shared seven stone weight loss has had a BIG impact on their bedroom activities – in more ways than one.
While last year they were labeled “obese” and their “bellies” killed any chance of having fun, things are looking a lot better now after getting fit with Dance Shred, their own fitness plan.
The stunning dancer even cheekily shared how her husband’s shrinking waist has actually enhanced the look of what he’s packing in his briefs.
She said: “Let’s be honest. It’s much nicer now, isn’t it? The tummies don’t jiggle as much as they used to.”
Ola burst into a fit of giggles before dropping the X-rated bombshell, continuing, “He looks taller now!” to which pink-faced James quipped, “She’s talking about my tattoos.”
Ola now weighs 8.3 pounds and is back in her size 8 clothes, and James weighs just 11.6 pounds after they lost 7.6 pounds combined.
But last July, they left their Instagram followers gaping when they shared snaps showing their combined weight gain of 61/2.
Ola, then 11.9 pounds and a size 12-14, posted an unfiltered photo of herself and 15.6-pound James showing what she called their “mom and dad bodies.”
James explained, “We looked at the picture and Ola posted it because she was so disappointed with where we ended up.”
“I think we forgot each other sometimes because we were just enjoying life and a lot of things happened.”
She added: “Of course we had Ella, who is already three years old. I started dressing differently, hiding my weight gain.”
“I bought different clothes because I didn’t feel comfortable in what I used to wear, and then I didn’t enjoy shopping anymore. I only bought clothes because I needed a pair of pants or a top. I didn’t buy anything.” Clothes to wear anymore.
“Then I was like, ‘I have to do something about it.'”
True to their word, the pair developed their very own fitness program, Dance Shred, which includes 15 minutes of fun and easy dance moves and a diet plan based on the science of calorie deficit.
Posting a four-week salsa challenge, James explained, “It’s really meant to help people get in shape for that last minute vacation, whether they’re having a social event, whether it’s a wedding or a party or something they want to go to.” .
“They want to get a little fitter, lose a few pounds. Almost everyone loves salsa. It’s a great feeling to dance and this time we did it a little differently than any other we’ve done.”
“It’s much more intense, it really burns. And it was great fun. The feedback has already been fantastic.”
