It doesn't have to be for everyone, for so long I wasn't actually fussed about it. I'm not married to Nicola, but it's like I am. I'm committed to her, that's how I see it."

Alex, who was married to model-singer Katie Price, explained why his relationship with Nicola is strong. "It's about listening to each other and knowing you're not always right. Being able to celebrate being proved wrong. Our egos, we want to be right all the time. Being right doesn't make you happy. Ultimately it hurts you sometimes," he added.
