Zara Tindall recently let slip an amusing one-word nickname for her husband, Mike, during a podcast chat, and it’s as quirky as you might expect.
The couple, who first crossed paths in 2003 and tied the knot in 2011, have a playful rapport filled with a variety of nicknames that often raise eyebrows.
As many couples do, Zara and Mike have created a unique language of their own, peppered with terms of endearment that range from sweet to downright strange.
Zara, daughter of Princess Anne and not officially part of the royal family, met Mike while traveling.
Their instant connection blossomed into a romance, leading to their marriage a few years later.
Together, they share three children, adding another layer of joy and chaos to their lives.
It’s no surprise that the couple has developed a playful banter over the years, including a plethora of nicknames that reflect their fun-loving nature.
On the Total Sport podcast, Mike, a former rugby star, opened up about some of the affectionate names they call each other.
Among the more common ones is “My Love,” which sounds sweet enough.
But then he dropped a bombshell: they often refer to each other as “munchkins.” This odd term seems to have become a staple in their relationship, although Mike admitted he wasn’t quite sure how it came to be.
The conversation took a cheeky turn when Mike hinted at a more risqué nickname that Zara uses.
Drawing a parallel to how Meghan Markle affectionately calls Prince Harry “H,” Mike revealed that they too enjoy the simplicity of initials.
He mentioned a letter Zara had written him while he was competing on the reality show, I’m a Celebrity.
In it, she affectionately began with, “Hello my love,” and expressed how much they missed him.
Zara’s letter painted a vivid picture of family life back home.
She described their little one thriving and picking up new phrases while the girls were engaged in sports.
It was a heartwarming glimpse into their family dynamics, showing just how much they support one another, even from afar.
The playful banter continued as Mike teased about how Zara has him saved in her phone.
