Mike Tindall has unveiled the playful nicknames he and his wife, Zara Tindall, use for each other, shedding light on their humorous approach to marriage.
The former rugby player and Zara, who is the daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, attribute their relationship’s success to a shared sense of humor. Besides their affectionate terms, they also share a quirky couple’s nickname.
Mike and Zara Tindall have a funny joint nickname
In a recent interview with woman+home magazine, Mike disclosed, “We both call each other ‘munchkin,’ but when it comes to nicknames, it’s Z and Mikey-T.”
He added with a chuckle, “You’ve always got to see the funny side!”
“You’ve always got to see the funny side!”
Mike and Zara are parents to Mia, 12, Lena, seven, and five-year-old Lucas, and while juggling the needs of their brood can be “stressful”, the couple try to stay good humoured.
He said: “It can be stressful. You’re trying to do everything all at once, and that’s hard. But you find a way. The whole point is to find a way and get it done while having fun at the same time. That’s what we try to do anyway.”
Mike and Zara, an Olympic-medal winning equestrian, are competitive but the Good, the Bad and the Rugby host admitted his wife has the edge.
Mike said: “Zara is competitive in everything. I think that’s individual mindset.
“And she’s an amazing cook,better than me 100% and better on the barbecue, but I enjoy standing around a barbecue – what man doesn’t? It makes you feel even manlier cooking meat. But washing up and clearing up, that’s my space.”
Mike expects Lucas to embrace his enthusiasm for rugby, but his daughter’s have turned away from the sport as they have got older.
He said: “Asked if the children will play rugby, he said:” I think the little man will do. Both the girls have and Mia played until she was eight. But then contact comes in at eight and I found this has put her off for now; hopefully she’ll come back to it.
“hey both ride, like their mum. But me? No, I don’t. Not a sport I’m good at.
“No horse wants to come guy weighing 107 kilos on it! So I respect them, they respect me, and we keep to our own paths.”
