Gregory and Ariana married in 2011 and will celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary later this year.
The couple regularly entertain followers by sharing pictures of the family hanging out in their large living room, which has parquet wooden flooring.
Large sofas can also be seen in the centre of the room, along with a large grey brick fireplace and a huge window in the background.

They have also posted images of their stunning garden patio outside of their elegant white home, from which they can enjoy breathtaking views of the Wirral peninsula skyline.
The patio boasts a huge white and black patterned rug and wooden furniture to keep the space cosy for the family while they sit together, with impressive foliage sitting in front of them.

Gregory has portrayed James Nightingale in Hollyoaks since 2016, with Ariana joining the soap as DS Cohen in October 2019.
The detective was summoned to investigate the death of James’ boyfriend, Harry Thompson (Parry Glasspool).
Due to coronavirus pandemic filming restrictions, her character DS Cohen disappeared from screens in April 2020, returning in February 2021 when she arrested John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) on suspicion of common assault.

Speaking previously about working with his wife on the soap, Gregory told Radio Times: “It’s lovely having her here.
“The first scenes she did were actually with me when James had to identify the body.
“She has got to know the cast and is making friends – now she finally can put faces to the names I’ve been talking about all these years!

“It’s good fun working with her.”
Now that Ariana has returned to set, the only problem the couple face is their child care issues for when they’re both working.
Gregory said back in 2019: “Now my wife has joined the show any change in the filming schedules is a double whammy for childcare.
“So it’s all go, it makes things somewhat difficult, but we are getting through it!”
