It was only a year later that Jeremy popped the question by hiding an engagement ring in the hollow of a tree during their Christmas eve walk.

The pair, who have an 11-year age gap, married in July 2009 and had a traditional Chinese ceremony in Xi'an.

Hunt says that Lucia "gives as good as she gets," and describes her as the "sparkler" in his and his family's lives.

It was revealed that Lucia's nickname for her hubby is "Big Rice," after her Chinese grandmother struggled to pronounce "Jeremy" and so just called him "Big Mi" meaning "Big Rice".

Jeremy and Lucia have now been married for more than a decade.

How many children do they have?

Lucia and Jeremy have three children together.

Their son Jack was born in 2010, with Anna following two years later and the youngest Eleanor was born in 2014.

In 2014, Hunt said that he fears his children may face discrimination if immigration is not controlled.

He reasoned that anger against immigrants will increase unless more is done to curb the number of people coming to the UK.

Jeremy tends to keep his family out of the spotlight.

According to his website, the Hunts live in Hambledon in his constituency, South West Surrey.
