Leona Lewis posts gushing tribute to husband Dennis Jauch on his birthday  

Leona Lewis gushed over her dancer husband Dennis Jauch in a sweet snap she posted on his 32nd birthday.

The singer, 35, shared the loved up post with fans on her Instagram on Sunday calling her husband her ‘life raft in the storm’ during the pandemic.

She added that Dennis was her ‘partner in crime’ as the pair cosied up and held hands in the picture wearing matching white ensembles. 

Leona looked radiant in the snap, wearing a dazzling white dress with high leg split which exposed her lithe legs. 

The beauty accessorised with silver heeled sandals as she perched on a wall and draped an arm round her beau’s shoulders.

Dennis looked suave in the picture, donning a pair of striped trousers and a white shirt that matched her dress.  

Leona had been dating the professional dancer and choreographer since 2010, and said the couple had had a ‘decade of love’. 

They got married in July 2019 in Tuscany, Italy, and the singer called this their first year of marriage during a ‘rapidly changing way of life’.   

She captioned the snap: ‘My partner in crime celebrates another trip around the sun today & what a year it has been! @dennisjauch you have been my absolute rock through the uncertainty of this year.

‘A decade of love and our first year of marriage during a pandemic, isolation and a rapidly changing way of life. 

‘Thank you for holding it down and being my life raft in the storm. Grateful for you today and always ❤️’.  

The star recently reflected on her career in an interview with Rollacoaster magazine, nearly 15 years after winning The X Factor in 2006. 

Leona admitted that she has felt ‘pressure’ and ‘judgement’, and claimed that it is a ‘waste’ if people don’t use their platforms to highlight ‘wrongness in the world’. 

She owns a 53-acre animal rescue sanctuary and has recently opened an eco-friendly cafe in Los Angeles called Coffee and Plants, which is plant-based with everything recyclable and a tree planted after 100 cups sold.  

Talking about when her passion for sustainability started, the former X Factor star said: ‘I’ve always been aware of my environment, and I’ve always been aware of animals since I became a vegetarian at 12. 

‘I remember at school when they were teaching us about the greenhouse gases or something like that and the teacher would be like ”Remember to turn of the light when you leave the house.” 

‘I used to go around my house switching all the lights off all the time and my parents were like ”What are you doing?” But I became really aware. I think I was such a hypersensitive child, so I think that was always in me. 

‘But since I’ve become older and a bit wiser, I really got to know the implications of deforestation and how deforestation then dehomes a lot of animals.’
