Gina Lollobrigida has been dating the same man for 22 years. Javier Rigau, 45 and Gina, 79, met at a party in Monte Carlo more than two decades ago and have been together ever since.

Gina and her beau, 34 years her junior, were set to wed until recently when pressures from the media together with sizzling stories and gossip began to fly. Both Gina and Javier have threatened legal action against the press, but for now, the wedding is cancelled.
