Owen was on the phone to the manager الص and his agent while I was in labour. They waited for me to give birth and then he went out on loan Portsmouth pretty much as soon as I was out of hospital.

Since living together, we’ve moved five times in five years. Jessica had to quit her law job and now works from home in social media, while Owen’s career in the lower leagues keeps the family on the move.

The transfer window – twice a year for Premier League, EFL and WSL clubs – means contracts can change overnight. When Owen moved to Portsmouth, the couple had just bought a house in Congleton; they spent only one night there and then rented it out before settling in rented accommodation.

Their children, Xavier and Etta, grow up in a life of uncertainty, learning that stability can be found in adaptability rather than a fixed address. Even party planning has to be flexible, but the experience has taught them resilience and the value of being ready for whatever comes next.
