The couple went for a countryside stroll where they kept their distance from others amid the ongoing pandemic.

The star cried as she praised healthcare workers who are on the frontline treating patients who have contracted COVID-19.
Posting a heartbreaking clip to Instagram, the GC said: ‘So I just did the clap for the NHS, and it was really emotional to see everyone coming together at this time.
With tears streaming down her face, she added: ‘Everyone’s in the unknown at the minute and it’s just amazing that everyone came out and showed their support.
‘It’s just a really scary time, I didn’t think I’d be this scared but I am and you just gotta stay calm and hope that this goes away really quickly.’
It proved to be an emotional day for Gemma who revealed that she missed her parents’ 42nd wedding anniversary due to the UK-wide lockdown.

Meanwhile, Arg is said to be getting help from his friend Mark Wright in adjusting to life after ‘rehab’.
According to The Sun, Mark, 33, and his wife Michelle Keegan, 32, have remained in touch with the TOWIE star throughout his challenges, and most recently since he returned to the UK from Thailand.
A source said: ‘Mark was straight on the phone to James to make sure he is OK. They’ve spoken a lot and James knows that Mark is there for him. Michelle will be too. They both think the world of him and want him to get back to his very best.’
Arg was taken to hospital for the second time in two months last year after friends and family feared he had attempted a second ‘overdose’.

Paramedics rushed to his £1.3million home in South Woodford, Essex in December, where they found the star ‘disorientated’ shortly before friends – including Mark – rallied around in a bid to help him get the support he needs.
Insiders told MailOnline: ‘Mark was at his house for around six hours to support him. This was after Arg had been to hospital and come home again…
‘Arg can’t afford rehab but Mark and other close friends and family are clubbing together to put him in a good place so he can overcome this.’
‘He has realised he needs help with his recent addiction issues and with his weight loss battle, so has turned to professionals.

‘Arg is receiving some of the best care in the world and so is in an environment to finally improve his physical and mental state.’
The reality star returned to social media in February following a rumoured stint in rehab, as he announced that he was set to take on a residency at pal Elliott Wright’s Marbella restaurant.
However, with both Spain and the UK on lockdown amid the coronavirus crisis, it is unlikely the star will be able to take it on.
Arg had been due to perform at Olivia’s La Cala’s Famous Thursday events on selected dates from April until September.
