A British TV presenter who has been with her partner for 12 years has revealed how the couple keep the spark alive in the bedroom.
Jenny Powell, 54, describes her sports therapist other-half Martin Lowe, 48, as “chiselled from Mount Olympus”.
And the pair, who currently have a sprig of mistletoe hanging up in their home should they fancy a festive kiss, have revealed the secret trick behind their healthy sex lives, The Sun reports.
“The intimate side of our relationship is still going strong. Martin loves my energy and he’s extremely patient and very understanding,” Jenny said.
“I strongly believe that you have to keep making the effort with each other, or it’s a slippery slope.
“And my one golden rule for maintaining intimacy in a relationship is: don’t have a TV in your bedroom.”
Jenny, who has two daughters Connie, 21, and 14-year-old Pollyanna, from her marriage to millionaire businessman ex Toby Baxendale, also said their sex life a fiftysomethings is he best its ever been.
“Sex in your fifties gets better and better,” she said.
“Let’s face it, when you know someone so well and you’ve been through so many journeys, it’s just the best way to relax and enjoy each other.”
Martin popped the question in New York in 2014, four years after bumping into Jenny in the popular British sandwich chain Pret A Manger store at London’s Euston station — and it’s easy to see how he maintains his physique.
“He does strongman training and pulling and pushing tyres and all sorts of deadlifting, and he does cold water swimming even in February,” Jenny explained.
“Heaven forbid, if he stopped looking after himself and got a body like Boris Johnson. I’d have to kick him into shape!”
Jenny is hoping that ripped Martin makes the most of that mistletoe she has positioned tantalisingly over the kitchen door.
“We haven’t had any for the past couple of years but this year we have.
“I’ve put a big branch over the kitchen door, and we’ll see what Santa brings me.”
