The photo appears to be taken poolside at a Azure Beach resort, which has locations in Dubai and Beirut.

With his arm around his wife of 15 years, the Aston Villa manager looks holiday ready, dressed in a casual black T-shirt, cream trunks, and sunglasses.

 

Model Alex kept her poolside chic in a white shirt tied up to give a glimpse of her toned abs and multi-coloured high-waist shorts by MIssoni, accessorising with cat eye sunglasses.

Despite their relaxed attire, the lovebirds were sure to keep it designer, with a black Prada bumbag just visible in the shot.
