Gino D’Acampo candidly opened up about his marriage with his wife – claiming if he “wanted to have an affair, he could”.
The telly favourite – who is on screens on June 23 for a repeat of Family Fortunes – is happily married to Jessica Morrison. The pair met when Gino was just 18, working in Sylvester Stallone’s Mambo King restaurant.
Fast forward to 2002, and the TV chef married childhood sweetheart Jessica. Gino and Jessica went on to welcome three children: Luciano, Rocco and Mia.
Since then, the couple have gone from strength to strength. But it turns out Gino is a big believer in “balancing your married life with your ‘single’ life”.
Gino D’Acampo and wife Jessica Morrison
Gino and Jessica have been loved-up for years and years. Although striking up a romance when they were teenagers, Gino and Jessica reportedly broke up for a year before tying the knot. It seems their time apart helped convince them they were made for one another.
And in a recent interview, Gino revealed his top secret to a successful and happy marriage.

Gino D’Acampo and wife ‘take a lot’ of time apart
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Gino shared how “there has to be a time” when he does things by himself and his wife Jessica “does things by herself”.
He explained how they both “take a lot” of holidays by themselves, or with their own pals. Gino then noted how “it’s important to have your own life”.
Do you think that if I wanted to be unfaithful to my wife, I’d need to organise a holiday?
It seems absence makes the heart grow fonder for This Morning star Gino and his wife Jessica. When quizzed by the publication about their solid foundation of trust, Gino went on to note how it comes from understanding.
He asked: “Do you think that if I wanted to be unfaithful to my wife, I’d need to organise a holiday? I can do it anytime and anywhere.”
Gino went on to say how he “could be in London pretending” he’s at work, or “could be on holiday for a week”. He added: “So once you get that out of your head, going on holiday alone doesn’t matter.”
Gino says he ‘could’ have an affair
Gino then shared his thoughts on the issue some people have with spending time with people of the opposite sex. He went on to recall how he enjoyed a dinner last week with “an amazing woman” he’s been working with.
He said: “It’s just dinner with another human being. If I wanted to have an affair, I could do that without the dinner and everything.”
