Amanda Holden has preferred to keep her children away from the limelight but she has openly expressed her feelings regarding the demise of her son. Holden has frequently posted tributes for Theo over the years through her Instagram page.

Back in 2021, she thanked the hospital staff for being with her when she was dealing with the loss of her son. Hampshire Live stated that she shared an Instagram video at the time, expressing gratitude towards the nurses and continued:

"I know I talk about this a lot – I never know if I talk too much about it – but obviously when we lost our son, Theo, to a stillbirth to the hospital where I was looked after was unbelievable. Jacki Nash got us through so much, and Pippa Nightingale and Natalie Carter."

The actress mentioned a nurse in the post who took good care of her and prepared her in such a way that her family members were not disturbed when they came to meet her.

Chris and Amanda first met in 2003 and they exchanged vows in 2008. The latter also spoke to OK! Magazine last year, saying that they developed feelings when they met and she decided at one point that Chris would be her husband in the future.

In 2019, Amanda spoke to HELLO! Magazine, describing her husband as "funny" and that it can help them get out of a bad situation. She added:

"He's rubbish at romance, but he's there for the solid things – such as keeping my car clean and making sure I relax. The secret to our success is humour. We take the Mickey out of each other mercilessly."

Amanda Holden appeared for an interview on the show Heart Radio in November 2023 and said that it was hard to look after two kids. She admitted that Hughes has a crush on television presenter Rachel Riley and that Holden would allow him to take Rachel out if he wanted to.
