K.P. Boateng frolics with bikini-clad model wife Melissa Satta on yacht in Italy

They hit back at divorce rumours earlier this year, less than three years after tying the knot.

And Kevin-Prince Boateng and wife Melissa Satta looked happier than ever as they frolicked on a yacht on a sun-soaked family break in Italy recently.

The Sassuolo midfielder, 32, showcased his hunky tattooed frame as he spent time with his Sports Illustrated model love, 33, and their son Maddox, five.

Wow: Sports Illustrated model Melissa, 33, sizzled as she soaked up the sun on the boat

The Ghana international player revealed his multiple tattoos as he soaked up the sun in a pair of scarlet swimming shorts, and spent quality time with their adorable son.

Melissa positively sizzled as she exhibited her ample assets and taut midriff in a candy stripe and neon yellow string bikini while laughing with her handsome husband.

The beauty drew the eye to her lean legs and pert derriere in a matching pair of tie-side bottoms as she dived into the crystalline waters.

Her ombre tresses were pulled into a high ponytail while she accentuated her natural beauty by going make-up free.

The family looked in great spirits as they spent quality time together with husband and wife enjoying the day.

In January this year the pair were hit by claims they had filed for divorce- with Meliisa later slamming the speculation, saying: 'As long as I have the faith on the finger means that I am still a married woman.'

Kevin, known only as Prince, exchanged vows with the TV presenter and Sports Illustrated model in 2016 at the Stella Maris parish church in Porto Cervo - where both Melissa and son Maddox, five, were christened.

Prince has previously spoken of his bride as 'the perfect woman'. 'She is beautiful, sexy, smart, and fantastic in the home and very good in the kitchen,' he said.

Melissa and Prince have been dating since October 2011, before getting engaged in July of 2012. Their romance began just one month after Kevin's divorce from Jenny, the mother of his son Jermaine-Prince, was finalised.

The romantic sportsman proposed to the model in Miami, presenting her with a multi-million dollar diamond engagement ring from Damiani.

Melissa has previously raised eyebrows by speaking very openly about their sex life, claiming it was what caused the footballer minor injuries that kept him off the pitch at AC Milan, which at the time left fans very unhappy.

She told Vanity Fair: 'The reason why he is always injured is because we have sex seven to ten times a week. I hate foreplay, I want to get straight to the point. My favourite position is on top so I can take control.'

The pair began their honeymoon in Sardinia where they were pictured frolicking in the sea the day after their wedding, and they are now continuing their romantic break in Corsica.

Sunshine: Kevin enjoyed a quick dip as his wife and son looked on

The WAG dated Italian footballer Christian Vieri for five years from 2006 to 2011.

And she hit the headlines over rumours Cristiano Ronaldo was trying to lure her away from Prince by sending her sexy pictures, despite his relationship with Irina Shayk.

The sighting comes days after the football ace confirmed he won't be joining Barcelona on a permanent deal after his loan expired.

Boateng returned to Serie A side Sassuolo after his loan spell in the second half of last season.

He made only three appearances in La Liga for Barcelona and it had been suggested that he might want to stay in Spain.

On Tuesday, however, Boateng confirmed that he would be staying at Sassuolo at least for time being.

'Today ends one of the most exciting experiences of my career,' he said. 'I thank every person who made this possible.

'I thank my teammates who made me feel at home from day one, champions and great people.

'I thank all the management, available and always present.

'A special thought goes to all the fans: I will always carry you in my heart. I wanted to give something more, but I did my best in every minute that was given to me to honour this fantastic shirt
