Portofino holds many happy married memories for the pin-up actor and his wife of 27 years
Here's a man and a marriage to give you faith that relationships can last.
Denzel Washington and his wife Pauletta are pictured looking content in love and life on their return to Italy – a place that holds many happy married memories for them – for a romance-filled break.
After 27 years of marriage they seem to know exactly what suits them as a couple.
And in the summer it's a simple recipe – sunshine, the occasional glass of rosé and Portofino, a picturesque jewel of a village that juts into the Mediterranean.
By day the Washingtons relaxed on a luxury yacht moored a few miles out to sea and by night they wandered out to dine, without any airs or graces, among the locals.
Their vacation wasn't strictly a 'date week' as at least one of their four children – John, who's nearly 26, Katia, 22, and 19-year-old twins Malcolm and Olivia - were with them.
The family is always given a warm welcome by the population because of their low-key, friendly attitude.
Last time they were here Denzel rushed over to congratulate a bride and groom who he came across just as they were leaving church.
He then cemented his reputation as a star in more ways than one by buying the whole party drinks to celebrate.
