Miss Marten and Gordon were reported missing after their car broke down near Bolton, Greater Manchester, on January 5.
The pair ditched their burning car and a nationwide hunt to find them – and their newborn baby – began.
They are believed to have slept rough after being spotted buying camping equipment from an East London Argos on January 7.
Concerns grew for the missing aristocrat, 35, and her baby, as temperatures across the country plummeted.
The pair were last seen with their baby, in Newhaven, East Sussex on January 9.
CCTV captured images of the hooded pair dumping their child’s pram in the port town.
The condition of the baby remains unknown.
In the days after they vanished, it was revealed Miss Marten had links to the Royal Family, and Gordon is a convicted rapist.
The 48-year-old is a convicted sex offender who served 20 years in a US prison for rape and battery.
Miss Marten, who is from a wealthy family, was a promising drama student before she met Gordon seven years ago.
The couple are believed to have led an isolated life in rented properties.
Cops previously said the new mum had given birth in her car days before the pair fled.
A Met Police spokesman said: “Shortly before 9.30pm on Monday, a member of the public reported a sighting of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon in Stanmer Villas, Brighton.
“Officers from Sussex Police attended the location and the pair were arrested. They remain in custody.
“The baby is still missing and an urgent search operation is taking place in the area.
“Anyone with information that could assist the search is asked to call 999.”
