The couple share three children together: Isabelle, 12, Ace, nine and Trixie, five. Matt recently opened up about how the family had to deal with trolls after a photo of Ace surfaced online of him wearing a pink crop top and sporting long blonde hair. The former Busted member said he tended to avoid reading any hateful comments and has done so for a few years. Matt said he didn’t think of Ace as anything else than his “amazing boy". He said: “I don’t read anything – for a good few years now I’ve tried to stay away from that. “I don’t read comments and didn’t know anything was happening [until later]. “But it’s funny, he’s just our amazing boy and we don’t think about it in any other way.” He then went on to explain that Ace is “musical” and “creative” and that the work his son produces “blows his mind". The star added that it is “beautiful” that Ace is free to be able to express himself as he chooses and be his own person. Matt spoke up about his other two children as well, stating that the three of them have very different personalities. Isabelle, the oldest, is the most like him. The difference, Matt says, is that Isabelle has natural talent while he had to work hard at her age. The singer explained he and Emma have drilled in the idea that “hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard". He went on to describe their youngest, Trixie, as a “maniac". Matt explained the cheeky youngster constantly “jumps off sofas” and can be difficult to control. However, he clarified that she is well-behaved most of the time.
