Zlatan Ibrahimovic appeared to be in good spirits as he soaked up the sun on a yacht with his wife Helena Seger on Saturday during their getaway in Sardinia.
The footballer, 40, went shirtless as she showed off his muscular torso in a pair of black swim shorts while adorned with a delicate necklace.
His model partner, 51, cut a casual figure in a tight white top and jeans while donning a black baseball cap and face mask for a jet ski ride with Zlatan.

It follows reports that Zlatan will sign a one-year contract extension with Serie A champions AC Milan.
The striker’s contract with San Siro expired at the end of June, a month after he went under the knife to repair damage to his left knee.
The operation is expected to rule out the Swedish star for eight months, Sportsmail reported in May.
