Joseph couldn’t seem to keep his hands off his stunning fiancée, and looked on cloud nine as she presented him with a huge cake, decorated with raspberries.
Joining the couple for the celebration were Jodie’s lookalike sister and fellow model Jemma, 50, who put on a busty display in a plunging black top and jeans.
Jodie was also seen warmly embracing Lisa Snowdon, who looked sophisticated in a black satin blazer and matching jumper, and was accompanied by her fiancé George Smart.
Actor Dougray Scott and Alice Temperley were also spotted having fun while mingling with the guests at the glitzy bash.
And TV presenter Zoe Hardman turned heads, looking radiant in a strapless metallic gold top and figure-hugging jeans.
Jodie and Joseph have been together for eight years, first being seen together in Barbados in October 2017, after she accompanied him on a disaster relief mission to Dominica after Hurricane Irma.
The former marine and special forces soldier then popped the question four years later during a romantic trip to Paris.
Confirming the happy news in December 2021, Jodie shared a pH๏τo flashing her sparkling ring while kissing Joseph in front of the Arc de Triomphe, with the caption: ‘I said Yes’.

It marks Jodie’s third engagement, after splitting from her first husband, internet entrepreneur Aidan Butler, after 18 months in 2007 and second husband David Blakeley in 2015 after just four months.
She is also mum to 13-year-old son, Indio, by her ex-partner, former Argentinian polo player Andrea Vianini, while Joseph also has a son from a previous relationship.
However, the pair are yet to tie the knot four years on, previously admitting ‘it’s been a bit of a whirlwind the last couple of years’.
Speaking to OK! in October, Jodie confessed the pair have still not set a date to become husband and wife as they are too busy.
She said: ‘Oh my God, it is going very slowly. Very slowly! Nothing is happening in the immediate future and not because I don’t want it to, but I am just so busy.
‘I think it would be too much trying to arrange a wedding right now. Hopefully, next year.’

Revealing the secret to their long-standing romance, she explained: ‘We’ve got just such a wonderful, balanced, supportive relationship. Those are the best ones. We always make time for date nights. We have a little date routine where we go to the cinema together.
‘We have to run as a team, and we do that beautifully. We always make time for each other. We always try to do things together as much as we can.
‘So, you know, if we’re going on the school run, we’ll do it together. Dinner time is really important. The whole family comes around the table and helps to cook, and we talk about our day, and have a laugh.’
While Jodie added that their children have made them even closer, gushing: ‘We’ve both got a son, so we just have to work as a team but they are intertwined literally. They’re so beautiful as well.’
