Michael Caine, 88, flashes a dazzling smile as he and wife Shakira, 74, head home after dinner

They first tied the knot way back in 1973.

And Michael Caine looked happier than ever with wife Shakira as he flashed a dazzling smile following a dinner date at The Ivy restaurant in London on Thursday.

The veteran actor, 88, appeared in great spirits as he headed home with the former model, 74, after enjoying a night out with friends.

Michael wrapped up warm in a navy coat, beneath which he wore a black zip-up sweater and a blue shirt.

He added black trousers to his look, while he opted for comfort by donning a pair of black trainers.

The King Of Thieves star used a cane while he walked, while he held on to his wife’s arm for extra support. 

He has used the cane since he suffered an ankle injury in 2018 after he fell on ice. 

Meanwhile, Guyanese beauty Shakira looked smart in a black coat, a white shirt and black trousers.

The Son of Dracula actress added a poop of colour with a navy scarf and carried her essentials in a coordinating blue bag.  

Their romance has proved to be one of the longest marriages in showbiz, after tying the knot in Las Vegas in 1973. 

In 2019, the veteran British actor revealed how he met the love of his life after seeing her star in a coffee commercial.   

‘I was at home and this commercial came on, for Maxwell House coffee. And there was this beautiful Brazilian girl,’ he told Andrew Denton’s Interview.

‘I said to my mate “we’re going to Brazil tomorrow – I have plenty of money, we’re going to find her.”

Much to his surprise, his dream woman was not on the other side of the world, but instead a stone’s throw away from where he was living.

The thespian reportedly called his future wife every day for ten days until she finally agreed to go out with him. 

The couple have one daughter together, Natasha, 48, while the Alfie star has another daughter Dominique, 65, from his previous marriage with actress Patricia Haines.
