The iron chef! Cook Robert Irvine shows off beefy chest as he goes on romantic stroll with wrestler wife in Hawaii

He learned his trade working as a cook in the Royal Navy.

And celebrity chef Robert Irvine is clearly still something of a macho man if the ripped chest he showed off while on a romantic stroll with his wife in Hawaii on Thursday is any guide.

The 49-year-old looked pumped and ready for action as he strutted alongside an idyllic beach with wrestler Gail Kim.

Last year, the fit couple exchanged vows as the cameras rolled on Robert's Food Network series Restaurant: Impossible.

It made sense since Irvine and the 39-year-old Toronto-born beauty - whose stage name is La Felina - first met on the set of Dinner: Impossible.

The food maestro also has two daughters - Annalise and Talia - from his first marriage to Karen Irvine.
