Amanda Holden, 55, shared a rare romantic photograph with her husband Chris Hughes while on a family vacation in Corfu. The presenter posted the image to Instagram on Sunday, showcasing the couple during their downtime before friends join them.
Holden and Hughes have been married for 18 years, having met five years prior in Los Angeles. They have two daughters, Alexa, 20, and Hollie, 14.
In the shared photo, Holden is seen wearing a khaki green lace slip dress, while Hughes is dressed in a white linen shirt. The post garnered positive reactions from fans in the comments section, with many remarking on Holden's appearance and calling the couple "gorgeous."
Holden has previously spoken about her approach to maintaining her appearance and staying camera-ready. She has mentioned following a diet that includes one substantial meal a day, often an egg white omelette with spinach, feta, and avocado, accompanied by a green juice, and abstaining from further food until the evening. She describes herself as a vegetarian who also enjoys food and alcoholic beverages, such as Aperol Spritzes, advocating for moderation rather than strict elimination of certain foods.
Regarding her physique, Holden has shared that she practices breathing techniques for photos and attributes her slim frame partly to genetics, noting that her mother and grandmother are also slender. She also engages in regular workouts on her home Peloton bike two to three times a week, finding it convenient regardless of weather conditions and easy to fit into her schedule.
Despite receiving frequent praise for her photos, Holden has also encountered online trolling. She has stated that she does not dwell on negative comments and often chooses not to read them. Holden believes in a balanced approach to social media, suggesting that individuals putting themselves out in the public eye must be prepared for both positive and negative feedback. She emphasized that constructive criticism is one thing, but anonymous negativity is not something she tolerates, noting that her industry requires a certain resilience.
Holden has also described her makeup as a form of "armour," rarely appearing without eyelashes and lip gloss. She often wears sunglasses, which she believes can help one feel more confident on days when they might not feel their best.
