Suranne Jones cuddles up to rarely seen husband as she celebrates his birthday
SURANNE Jones has shared a glimpse of her rarely-seen husband in a touching tribute to him on his birthday.
The Gentleman Jack star, 43, was wearing her banana-patterned dressing gown in the sweet snap and resting her head on hubby Laurence Akers' shoulder.
Her caption for the image, which she posted to instagram, revealed that the candid picture had been snapped by the couple's six year old son.
She wrote: "Happy birthday my love ❤️ everything I need right here. Deliriously tired from pre school birthday celebrations 🎉 📷 by excited 6yr old 5th family member."
The couple, who haven't publicly revealed the name of their son, welcomed a child back in March 2016.
Suranne and Laurence, 51, also became parents to two dachsunds, who are also in the picture taken by their talented offspring, when they adopted them during lockdown.
