Artist Victor del Fueyo de la Torre wrote: ‘It was great to see this gentleman Paul Bettany again to bring his old tattoo back to life and add more love to it!

Paul added: ‘Thank you Victor, you are an artist. Thank you for taking such good care of me. I love it!’

Earlier this week, Jennifer took to social media this week to post a rare photo featuring all three of her children.

“Greetings from beautiful Zermatt ,” the dark-haired beauty captioned the image, which she shared with her 1.3 followers.

Connelly shares her two younger children Agnes and Stellan with husband Paul, whom she married in 2003. She shares Kai with ex David Dugan.

Paul famously vowed to marry Jennifer when he saw her in a movie during his teenage years.

The British actor was 15 when he saw Jennifer in the classic film Once Upon a Time in America.

The then 13-year-old was a child model and got her first film role with her role as Deborah Gelly in the film.

Paul saw her work all the way from England, fell madly in love with the on-screen actress and promised to marry her.

The pair eventually met fourteen years later on the set of A Beautiful Mind in 2000.

Paul recalled feeling “instantly” attracted to his future wife, telling Entertainment Tonight: “I’ve never been this close to someone so beautiful.” I remember thinking, “I bet every guy you’ve ever met has tried to flirt with you.”

A year later, Paul was filming in Tuscany when the horrors of the September 11 terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in New York unfolded.

His first thought was to call New Yorker Jennifer, and he spent two days trying to get in touch with her.

He explained to Larry King, “I remember thinking to myself, ‘What are you doing?’ Then I realized I was in love. When I finally got a hold of her, I said, “I’m coming over, let’s get married.” We’d never had a relationship before.’

While you’re talking to People in 2021, Paul discussed his family life with his wife and children.

At the time, he noted, “I’m still a pretty active dad, because I have a nine-year-old.

“You have to stare at a math problem in bewilderment and ask Jennifer to solve it for me.”

Their romance unfolded after the September 11 terrorist attacks, when Paul became “frantically worried” about the actress.

According to the publication, he proposed to her before they even dated and went with her to New York, where they have been living together ever since.

‘Yes, I was completely fascinated by it; poor Jennifer, as she slowly realized how poorly educated I was,” he joked before adding, “She can read much better than me. I just sound like that because of the English accent, that’s all.”

He also told the magazine: ‘Marriage and children changed my life. It really changed who I was and what I saw as my goals.”
