Amanda Holden recently treated her fans to a heartfelt Instagram snap with her husband Chris Hughes, showing just how strong their bond is after more than a decade together.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge looked radiant as she posed alongside Chris, who still rocks his signature long hair and youthful looks.
A Stunning Couple That Defies Time
Amanda, 54, and Chris, 51, have been married since 2008 after meeting way back in 2003.
In the photo, Amanda dazzled in a flowing black chiffon dress with a chic tie neck and plunging neckline, while Chris wrapped his arms lovingly around her waist.
Fans were quick to notice how incredibly youthful the couple looks, flooding the post with comments like, “No grey hairs, what’s your secret?” and “Chris hasn’t aged a bit in 20 years!”
The Meaning Behind the Caption
The caption, “To the moon and back….8:8,” accompanied by heart and moon emojis, caught some attention too.
It’s likely a nod to the Lion’s Gate Portal, an astrological event that happens every August 8th.
This event is said to be a powerful time for manifesting heartfelt desires, aligning with the star Sirius in the constellation of Leo — perfect for a romantic message like Amanda’s.
Chris Hughes: The Man Behind the Music
Chris, a former drummer turned music producer, has worked with legendary artists like Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, and Tears for Fears.
Though he’s rarely seen on Amanda’s social media due to his dislike of the spotlight, he clearly plays a huge role in her life.
Amanda revealed in a recent interview that Chris “can’t stand the limelight” and avoids red carpet events whenever possible.
Their Life Together: Love, Arguments, and Big Decisions
The couple’s relationship isn’t without its quirks.
Amanda shared that they often lock horns, especially when it comes to major choices like their £7 million Cobham home.
She joked that Chris “had no say” in the house decisions and “argues with me all the time but then says I was right.”
It’s this kind of realness that makes their relationship so relatable.
Amanda’s Past Relationships and New Beginnings
Before marrying Chris, Amanda was famously married to Family Fortunes star Les Dennis.
Their marriage began in 1995 when Amanda was just 22, but ended in 2000 amid tabloid drama.
Amanda later married Chris in a festive Christmas wedding in Somerset in 2008, with F1 driver David Coulthard as best man, marking a joyful new chapter in her life.
