The couple are toying with the idea of getting married in Marius’ native Norway later this year. 

Speaking during an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine last year, the actress revealed the couple will be tying the knot sometime in 2020.

She said: ‘Well, (the wedding) is in the schedule. Do we do it in Norway? That would be nice, but it’s getting everyone over there. Yeah, it’s in the plan.’

The pair became parents for the first time in November 2018, when they welcomed son Frey into the world.

Speaking about the experience of starting a family with Marius, Kara said: ‘He [Marius] is rather lovely, isn’t he? I did well. 

‘They always say there’s no right time to have kids, if you want it you just have to get on with it. We all muck in, I love it.’
