‘Thanks for the best weekend’

Richie tagged the images and short video clip in his upload shared yesterday (Monday July 25) as being in Padstow.

The first image showed him and Stephanie embracing with countryside in the background.

The clip captured the moment he dived under the surface in the sea.

And the third pic was of a marina scene with the sun peeping through the clouds.

He captioned the upload, adding a sunshine emoji and heart emoji to his words: “Cornwall. Was worth a 32 year wait.”

Was worth a 32 year wait.

Meanwhile, Stephanie gushed in the comments section: “Thanks for the best weekend! LOVE YOU.”

She also added a heart emoji to her remarks.

However, no other follower or fan comments were on the post as they were limited by the account holder.

It isn’t the first time Richie has shared an image of himself and Stephanie together.

Just over a fortnight ago he shared another cosy snap while at Wimbledon, tagging her into the shot.
