The pair welcomed a second daughter, Iggy, born in August 2020.
Opening up about their home life in an episode of Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Llliana described Noel as a "magical" father.
She said: "He kind of makes the silliest little moments, he makes having breakfast a real moment.
"I think I've just really leaned into that and just going like, 'This is amazing. We're getting to have porridge and it's funny, and it's fun. And we're wearing silly hats, and we're dancing. And that's okay'."
