Anne-Marie has broken her silence a fortnight after husband Slowthai was cleared of raping two women.
The songstress, 33, who wed the rapper, real name Tyron Frampton, 29, in 2022, took to Instagram as she reflected on the ‘most beautiful yet hardest year’ which also saw the couple welcome their child, baby daughter Seven in April.
Frampton burst into tears in court earlier this month when he and co-accused Alex Blake-Walker, 27 were cleared of the raping the women following a gig in Oxford in 2021.
Anne-Marie shared a slew of snaps of herself and her husband, as well as a gorgeous photo as she cradled baby Seven surrounded by stunning orchids.
She captioned the post: ‘2024 the most beautiful yet hardest year of our lives. God really tryina [sic] see how strong I am hahaha’.
‘I miss you all and I love you all more than you’ll ever know. I have SO MUCH for you in the new year that you’ll probably be sick of me (please don’t be) have the best break if you can and see you soon’.

The jury at Oxford Crown Court returned the verdicts following a two-week trial during which it was alleged the two defendants assaulted two women in the early hours of September 8, 2021.
The musician burst into tears in the dock as jurors delivered their verdicts.
Judge Ian Pringle KC told the court this case has ‘raised a lot of high feelings’.
Relatives and friends of the accused, including Frampton’s wife Anne-Marie, sighed with relief as the verdicts were read out, and cheered loudly outside the courtroom.
Walking out of Oxford Crown Court alongside his wife, Frampton declined to comment on the verdicts.
Frampton had performed at The Bullingdon music venue in Oxford on the evening of September 7 2021 when he and Walker met the two complainants, one of whom was described during the trial as a ‘huge fan’ of Slowthai.
Following the gig, the two complainants went to Frampton’s tour bus before heading to their friend’s house for a party – with Frampton and Blake-Walker joining the group.
Frampton, Blake-Walker, and the two complainants then went on to the roof of the property, where the women claimed they were raped.

Frampton, of Northampton, and Blake-Walker, of south-east London, both agreed that sexual activity took place with the complainants on the night of the alleged assaults, but told the court that it was consensual.
In his evidence to the jury, the rapper said the allegations brought up against him were ‘just not true’ and that the women were ‘lying’.
Frampton accepted that he and Blake-Walker had ‘fist-bumped’ at the time but denied this was encouraging each other.
The pair both walked free from the dock after Judge Pringle told them they were able to go.
Anne-Marie kept her pregnancy out of the public eye but welcomed a daughter who she named Seven, in tribute to her favourite number.
A source told The Sun: ‘Anne-Marie and Slowthai have had a baby daughter they’ve named Seven.
‘It is Anne-Marie’s lucky number and she even has 0707 tattooed on her because she sees them as her angel numbers.
‘She was born last month in and both of them are absolutely delighted. Anne-Marie has always wanted to be a mum so this is an amazing time for her.’

Anne-Marie has previously spoken about her affection for the number seven and what it represented in her life.
She said: ‘When you see double numbers, your angels are supposed to be with you and seven is my favourite number. Because of where the mirror is, when I look in the mirror I see it.’
It was revealed that Anne-Marie married Slowthai nearly two years ago, according to reports.
The Kiss My songstress had previously sparked speculation she had tied the knot after she was pictured wearing a diamond ring on her finger in Notting Hill in March last year and continued wearing it over summer.
Anne-Marie is said to have married Slowthai, 29, whose real name is Tyron Kaymone Frampton, in secret in Las Vegas during a break from her tour.
