Other images snapped on the night also appear to show the couple having an argument
But Clare Stokes has since taken to social media to rubbish any suggestions there was violence involved, saying "Unbelievable what nonsense these people will make up!"
She explained Stokes' actions saying it's how the couple show affection to each other.
"Me and Ben messing about squishing up each other's faces cos that's how we show affection and some pap tries to twist it into a crazy story!
"And all before we then have a romantic McDonald's 20 mins later!"
Her post was accompanied with an image of Clare slapping Stokes in the face.
Stokes had shared multiple images of the night on Instagram, showing him carrying a large takeaway bag from the fast food chain.
The New Zealand-born cricketer responded to his wife's tweet with a face blowing a kiss emoji.
Clare Stokes followed it up with an Instagram post in which she thanked Stokes for arranging a birthday weekend for her and said: "Not gonna let some idiots ruin what's been an incredible 30th birthday."
The couple married in Somerset in October 2017.
They have two children together, 6-year-old son Layton and daughter Libby, who is now 4.
Stokes claims she caught his eye at a match between Lancashire and Durham in 2010, before the couple embarked on a long-distance relationship.
