‘We did, and it wasn’t for financial reasons,’ the actress said.

‘I think prenups have a bad rap but I think they’re a really good opportunity for you to have a lot of difficult conversations when everything is good and rosy and everyone’s on speaking terms because sometimes a lot of marriages don’t end with a happy ending.’

Kelly married long-term boyfriend Jeremy in the historic port town of Civitavecchia, near Rome, Italy, in 2022.

She opened up about what the couple considered when discussing the prenup.

The actress and model explained: ‘One of the big question marks for me, my husband being French, if things were to go sour and we were to divorce, where is the marital home? Is it in France? Is it in Italy? Is it in the UK? Is it in America?

‘Because we’ve travelled in those four countries and lived and worked in those four countries for many years.’

She added: ‘And at the time of our marriage we were living in the UK, but we actually got married under Italian law in Rome.

‘So it was a really complicated situation, so we had to sit down and say right, if we were to have children, where would they be, where would they go to school, where would we both live and where would that home be.’

Kaye asked: ‘So it was more about kids than money?’

Kelly replied: ‘It was more about children and family and what that family unit would look like. It wasn’t an easy conversation, it’s not romantic is it… so it is kind of financial, but its also kind of logistical as well…’

Earlier this year, Kelly revealed she had made her mind up on whether she wants to have children or not, after an ‘honest’ admission from her grandma.

The model and actress opened up on a comment that has stuck with her and changed her views on becoming a mother.

In an interview with The Mirror, Kelly revealed that she asked her grandma if she had any regrets in life – and was shocked by her frank answer, when she responded that her biggest one was having children.

She admitted: ‘I wasn’t expecting it, but she definitely said it! I think she felt that having children had taken up a lot of her life.

‘I thought, ‘What an absolutely honest, incredible answer,’ and I think I needed to hear it. I was about 36 at the time and thinking, ‘God, am I ever going to have children? If so, maybe I should just get on with it now?’

‘Then I thought, ‘Actually, I don’t think I want them,’ and hearing that somebody had regrets, and that I might not regret not having children, made me feel really happy about my choice.’

Kelly reflected on how not having children leaves her life more open to different possibilities and used being able to move between LA and the UK as an example.

It comes after the Loose Women star opened up about her ‘traumatic and devastating’ miscarriages in previous relationships. 

She revealed that her and her husband Jeremy Parisi are ‘childless by choice’ as she spoke about their marriage.

Kelly revealed that she looks at her and Jeremy’s ‘beautiful life’ and how they aren’t ‘burdened’ by the turmoil of trying to have children.

However she got candid about her experience in previous relationships, as she revealed the trauma of going through IVF or experiencing miscarriages.

‘I am actually childless by choice at the moment, it’s not something that we have considered and I don’t think that should be a taboo,’ she told The Sun on Sunday.

‘I have been through pregnancies and miscarriages and I know how traumatic and devastating they are on you and on your relationship, I have been down that road with previous partners and it is a lot.

‘I look at the beautiful life we have and how we don’t have the burden of that.’

Kelly said that while she sees how much happiness children bring her family, she also sees the stress that comes with.

And while her and Jeremy love family time and caring for their dog, travel is a huge part of their lives and having children is not on their list of priorities.

However at the time Kelly admitted that she wasn’t completely closed off to being a mum in the future – something she was yet to discuss with her husband.
