Brendan Cole's marriage is being tested by his hectic schedule and the time he's had to take away from wife Zoe Hobbs while she was pregnant with their newborn son, according to new reports.

A day after Strictly Come Dancing professionals Karen and Kevin Cilfton announced their split, The Sun claims Brendan and Zoe are struggling to find time to focus on their relationship because Brendan is so busy.

Zoe gave birth to their baby boy on Monday (March 12), and Brendan told friends at Tuesday's TRIC Awards that they'd named him Dante.
