In the snap, Banks could be observed gracefully plunging into the refreshing waters of Lake Como, Italy, dressed in an eye-catching patterned two-piece swimsuit.

As part of the festivities, Banks proudly displayed a breathtaking peacock-colored ring. The ring showcases a captivating sapphire stone encircled by a halo of delicate diamonds, and is complemented by a band adorned with sparkling jewels.

Banks captioned a social media post with a series of black-and-white photos from their wedding day, gushing over Handelman. "We have been married for 20 years," she wrote, tagging her beau. "During this time, we have built a life together, established a business, and created a family. We are still deeply in love with each other. Things are going well." She also shared an image on her story, commemorating the occasion with a 20th-anniversary ring.

The couple married in July 2003 and have two sons, Felix, 12, and Magnus, 10, who were born through surrogacy. (Banks candidly discussed the process, stating in a 2012 interview with Lucky, "It was a womb issue for me.")

Reflecting on their 20 years together, she mentioned how quickly time has passed and thanked everyone who celebrated with them, acknowledging their support as essential to their journey.

In February 2019, Banks spoke highly of her husband to We, noting their strong working relationship and mutual respect. She explained that they have a harmonious balance, with her being a passionate artist and him being a composed politician.

Banks acknowledged that attending the University of Pennsylvania played a significant role in her falling in love with her partner. She admitted that without their shared college experience, she potentially wouldn't have him in her life, which could have impacted the success of their business.
