Rebekah Vardy has opened up about her fresh new start in Italy as she prepares to launch her family reality show, The Vardys, on ITV.
On Tuesday (June 2), Rebekah and footballer husband Jamie are set to let viewers in on their life with their kids soon after celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary.
The couple tied the knot in 2016 after first meeting in 2014. After exchanging vows, they started a family, welcoming daughter Sofia, 12, son Finlay, nine, and daughter Olivia Grace, six.
Rebekah shares 23-year-old daughter Megan with ex-partner Mark Godden, whom Jamie legally adopted in 2016. She also has a 16-year-old son, Taylor, with footballer Luke Foster.

Rebekah Vardy admits moving to Italy was a ‘tough’ decision
While speaking to ITV in promotion of the show, Rebekah admitted she wanted to work with ITV for a reality show so she could “work on something meaningful”.
“For years, people have formed opinions about us from online or stories in the press, so this felt like an opportunity to let people see the reality themselves. The highs, the difficult moments, the humour, the madness of family life and the challenge of navigating such a huge transition after so many years of being in one place.” she continued.
The series arrives nearly six years after the Wagatha Christie drama between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah.
The high-profile feud featured a court battle over Coleen’s infamous Instagram post accusing Rebekah’s account of leaking private stories to the press.
Discussing the huge move away from the UK, Rebekah admitted it was “tough”. However, she said that “what helped was us approaching it as a family challenge rather than just Jamie’s career move”.
“We knew there would be difficult days, culture shocks and moments of stress but we also saw it as an opportunity to grow together, experience something new and create memories we’d never have otherwise,” Rebekah continued.
