ITV show Gino's Family Adventure last year.The TV chef has spoken exclusively to Express.co.uk about the secrets to a healthy marriage, crediting his wife for knowing that he would have "disappeared" if she ever "caged" him in.Gino has been married to Jessica for over 20 years, with the couple having three children together: Luciano, 21, Rocco, 18, and Mia, ten.Express.co.uk asked the This Morning chef how his marriage has stayed so healthy and strong over the years.He replied: "So, a couple that thinks that couple could live forever in each other's pockets, 24 hours a day, is an insane way of thinking."I believe every human no matter the sex or age or anything else needs to lead their own life!"You need to have your own hobbies, friends and your own holidays!

I think that’s why my marriage has lasted for so many years."Gino then touched on how much Jessica "understands" him, contributing to their healthy marriage.He continued: "Jessica is a very clever woman and she has understood me from day one.She knew that if she would put [me] in a cage then eventually I would break the cage and disappear if she did that."So yeah, that’s the secret to a healthy marriage!"Gino also leaves the element of surprise in his relationship, admitting that if he goes away for long periods of time, he rarely contacts his other half.He said: "I could be filming in Italy or somewhere in the world for two weeks and I would perhaps call my wife once or twice."There is no need, apart from when I want to hear from her or if something happened."What’s the point in bothering your wife to the point I need to pretend to want to make a phone call is insane!
