Lisa Stansfield and her husband Ian Devaney were spotted taking a leisurely stroll through London's Hampstead, a rare moment for the private couple. Despite their low profile, the couple has been together for over two decades, tying the knot in 1998 after a long friendship.
Lisa, now 57, made a fashion statement with her monochrome ensemble, topped off with a baker boy hat and Gucci loafers. Her husband, 58-year-old producer Ian, also donned a blazer but opted for a more practical rucksack.
Their relationship began as teenagers, when they both starred in a school play. From there, they became musical collaborators, forming the band Blue Zone with friend Andy Morris. Even after the band split, Ian and Andy continued to work on Lisa's solo records.
It was during this time that they created Lisa's most successful song to date, "All Around the World." Lisa recalls the spontaneous creation of the hit, with Ian playing around on the piano as she sang the iconic hook, "Been around the world and I, I, I..."
The song was a massive success, earning two Grammy nominations and winning an Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. It also topped the UK singles chart.
While Lisa considers her career to be one of the best jobs in the world, she acknowledges that it comes with its own challenges. In an interview with The Agency, she shared, "A lot of it was exhilarating but every job has a pain-in-the-arse element. It's probably one of the best jobs in the world but I found not having time to myself and constantly being looked at difficult. It gets to you after a while but it's just part of the job."
Despite the fame and success, Lisa and Ian have managed to keep their relationship strong and private. They have been each other's rock for many years and continue to support each other in their respective careers.
As they enjoyed their walk in Hampstead, Lisa and Ian were unrecognizable from the young musicians who first met and fell in love. But their love and bond remain a constant in their ever-changing lives.
