Singer Mark Owen may have received luxury hampers from friends and family on Friday (January 27th) as he celebrated a landmark birthday.

The Take That star turned 40 and was spotted enjoying his special day with his wife Emma Ferguson, the Daily Mail reports.

Owen and the 35-year-old were seen laughing and chatting as they strolled around London, suggesting their relationship woes are behind them.

In 2010, the performer admitted having several affairs since he began dating Ms Ferguson.

However, after entering rehab, the couple remained together and have a five-year-old son Elwood and a daughter, Willow Rose, three.

Owen's birthday comes seven days after his band mate Gary Barlow celebrated turning 41 on January 20th.

Several famous faces took to Twitter to wish the X Factor judge a happy birthday, including Fearne Cotton, Marcus Collins and Lulu.

The latter sang with Take That on their hit single Relight My Fire.
