Gino D'ACampo's 'relaxed' date night rule he insists is key to happy marriage

Gino D'ACampo has opened up on his date night rule which he believes is the key to his happy relationship.

The popular chef has been married to Jessica Stellina Morrison for the past 20 years - as My London reports.

The couple are currently appearing alongside their three children Luciano, Rocci and Mia on Gino's Italian Family Adventures.

Gino puts his long marriage down to how they don't do date nights so every day feels special.

He told Hello!: “We don't do date nights. Date night is for teenagers.

"I think that date night is for people who want to prove something.

He continued: “My wife always says to me, actually, she said this last week ‘We've been together now for 27 years and married for 20 years… I have to say after 27 years, you make me feel that every day is a 'date' day.'”

“Sometimes we have this [pressure] to do a date night or we have to buy flowers or buy the chocolate. I'm not the kind of guy who does that. I don't do it because I have to, I do it because I want to.

"I don't do anything on anniversaries because I'm not the kind of guy who buys a card or flowers or anything like that for the anniversary - I do that anyway.

"But clearly when you wake up on your anniversary, we have a special hug in the morning and we just get on with [life]."

Gino also believes the success of their marriage is down to how they both lead "separate lives".

He said: “We allow each other to have our own lives, that means going on holiday with our friends.

“My wife goes for dinner with male friends and I go for dinner with female friends or business friends.

“We are very relaxed.”
