Who are cycling golden couple Laura and Jason Kenny? Olympic success, family life and heartbreak ahead of Commonwealth Games

Cyclists Dame Laura and Sir Jason Kenny are the most successful married couple in Olympic history. The pair have 15 Olympic medals between them - 12 golds and three silvers.

The couple, who live near Knutsford in Cheshire, received a damehood and knighthood respectively in the 2022 News Year's Honours list. Laura and Bolton-born Jason met through their love of cycling and they tied the knot shortly after the 2016 Rio Olympics.

In 2017 they welcomed their son, Albie, who turns five in August. But record-breaking Olympian Laura revealed she considered walking away from cycling after suffering an ectopic pregnancy earlier this year. She revealed in April that she had suffered a miscarriage at nine weeks in November.
