bosnia actress and models: News :Rachel Stevens settles into married life and steps out without a scrap of make-up

They say that once married, couples stop trying to impress each other.

And maybe that is why Rachel Stevens was out with her new husband with not a scrap of make-up on.

Luckily for the pop singer she is naturally pretty and still managed to look good, if a little tired, while popping to the shops.

Au naturel: She gave glamour a day off

Her look was in stark contrast to the heavily made-up and groomed look she had for the GQ Men of the Year awards earlier this month, where she looked like Sarah Jessica Parker.

But Alex was clearly happy to be with his more toned-down wife.

The couple seemed happy to potter to the corner shop for some groceries and to pick up a coffee near their home in Hampstead, London yesterday.

Now that she has bagged her man, Rachel, 31, is keen to get started on having a family as soon as possible.

She said: 'I'd like to have a little brood or a big one, but I don't know how my husband will feel about that. Motherhood is definitely for me.'

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant married the actor-turned-bond trader on August 2. Rachel said: 'I really want to have a baby, so I'm hoping it will be soon.'
