Amanda Holden has delighted fans with a rare romantic photo alongside her husband, Chris Hughes, with many commenting on their youthful appearance. The 54-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge shared the snap on Instagram on Friday, showing her beaming in the arms of her 51-year-old husband, whom she married in 2008.
In the image, Amanda wore a black chiffon dress with a plunging neckline, while Chris stood behind her with his arms around her hips, his jet black hair on display. The couple, who have been together since 2003, looked remarkably young, prompting followers to ask for their secret.
Fans flooded the comments section, with one writing: 'No grey hairs – what’s your secret??… Beautiful.' Another said: 'You both are not aging, which for the rest of us is dreadfully unfair.' A third added: 'As my Nan would say, what a handsome couple. You both look radiant… Chris hasn’t aged in 20 years!'
Chris, who dislikes public attention, rarely appears on Amanda's social media. She previously told The Times: 'He can’t stand the limelight and hates red carpets... Twice a year he gets forced to go on my Instagram just to prove he exists.' Despite this, Amanda has spoken about their lasting connection, telling Hello! magazine: 'Our relationship still feels so fresh. Twenty-two years does feel like a long time, but it still feels new to me.'
The post was captioned: 'To the moon and back….8:8' with a heart and moon emoji, referencing the Lion’s Gate Portal astrological event. Amanda also joked in an interview that Chris compares her to Elmo from Sesame Street because she walks around naked at home and wears pyjamas buttoned to the neck.
