The shirtless footballer, 36, and his girlfriend, 42, have jetted off to the Tanzanian archipelago for some winter sun following a rocky few months.

The on-off couple appeared to be going stronger than ever on the trip.
Andy shares Arlo, 10, Wolf, eight, and Marvel, five, with his estranged wife Billi and Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14, from a previous relationship with ex Faye Johnstone.
Andy and Lou couple enjoyed a romantic trip away in Magaluf earlier in April and round this time, rumours swirled that Andy was already thinking about a proposal.
The former Liverpool striker and his TOWIE star ex Billi confirmed their split last September afterseparating earlier in the year having been together for 11 years.
A friend of the loved-up couple told The Sun earlier this year: 'Andy is very close to proposing to Lou. They are madly in love.
'She is spending as much time as she can with him in France and Andy has never been happier. Lou is exactly what he needs because she is a calming influence on him and it's noticeable the change she's had on him to everyone around them.
'He's been telling friends his divorce can't come quick enough.'

In 2022, the star's wedding to Billi was almost called off when he was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do.
Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened.
Less than two years after their nuptials, the couple's marriage was over - with Andy confirming they had started divorce proceedings after 'a hard few months for our family'.
Andy said in a statement: 'Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings.
Despite claims Billi was 'blindsided' by the relationship, friends of hers say that she 'knew Andy had someone' but she just wasn't sure who it was.
