"How very perfect," commented one fan, while another added; "Love it!" Zoe shares both her children with her ex-husband, Norman Cook, alias Fatboy Slim, who she divorced in 2016 after 17 years.

The two remain on good terms and in a heartfelt interview with Red magazine two years ago, the stylish blonde reflected on their relationship now.

Calling Norman "such a good guy", the 49-year-old called him "the best dad" and went on: "It’s not always been easy and it’s taken time. He’s been through a lot, I’ve been through a lot, but now we’re in a great place as parents together."

The star shared that she and her ex often share their mutual pride in their children, saying: "We do sometimes look at them and go, 'Wow, despite what we’ve been through, we made it' because they’re brilliant kids."
