Jamie Oliver renews wedding vows with wife Jools after 23 years
Jamie Oliver and wife Jools have renewed their vows 23 years after getting hitched.
The couple, who've been together since they were teenagers, jetted off to the Maldives with their five children; Poppy Honey, 20; Daisy Boo, 19; Petal Blossom, 13; Buddy Bear, 11; and River Rocket, five.
I mean, when you're reportedly worth over £200 million, you can afford to do it in style, can't you?
Snaps shared by the TV chef on social media show him and Jools very loved up as they smooch on the sandy beaches of a small island.

And Jamie even had the same blue Paul Smith suit he wore back in 2000 remade for the occasion... minus the crocodile loafers, thankfully.
While Jools wore an off-the-shoulder dress, complete with a veil.
Sharing the exciting news on Instagram, Jamie said he was over the moon with their second special day, and thanked the team at the hotel for making it happen.
"Morning all, Me & @joolsoliver got married again," the 48-year-old wrote.
"Yep After 23 years together, we thought it would be a special moment to celebrate renewing our wedding vows before the kids all start leaving the nest.
"It was really special, funny and romantic with the words in the ceremony making more sense having come this far together.
"It seems like a blink since the first wedding, which we kept very privet apart from the paparazzi at the village church we thought it would be a happy and joyful moment to share with you all this Easter.
"We’ve always dreamed of going to the Maldives and it was just as you would have dreamed, simply amazing ! a massive thank you to all the team at @discoversoneva for blowing our minds and making this moment so special and memorable big love guys Jamie x."
In a series of snaps from the day, the couple can be seen embracing one another on the tiny, secluded beach as the waves lap at their feet.
Jamie also revealed that his eldest son, Buddy, was his best man on the day.
Sharing her thoughts on the special occasion too, Jools said it was just perfect.
She wrote: "So wonderful the first time, we did it again. What an incredible memory to treasure so happy, emotional, romantic and beautiful.
"Seeing the children’s little faces made the whole experience so special.
"I could only have dreamed of being on a holiday this magical thank you so much Discover Soneva.
