The ultimate accessory! Marc Jacobs, 50, and his muscle-bound boyfriend Harry Louis, 24, lock lips during romantic trip

Marc Jacobs might well be celebrating his half century, but it doesn't appear that he's prepared to slip into comfortable dotage just yet.

The fashion designer is in Rio to mark turning 50, but looks and acts years younger thanks in part to the ever presence of his younger boyfriend, Harry Louis.

The 24-year old porn star hasn't ventured far from his handsome and well built partner's side as they enjoy a break in Harry's native Brazil to mark the big occasion.

Lip lock: On Wednesday, Marc Jacobs and his boyfriend Harry Louis were seen kissing during a boat ride in Rio de Janeiro where the couple is celebrating Marc's fiftieth birthday

Say cheese! The couple leaned in to take a cute snapshot with each other in front of the beautiful landscape

On Wednesday, the lovers were seen locking lips as they took a romantic boat ride with some friends.

Taking a break from their intimate embrace, the duo also snuggled up next to each other to pose for some pictures, documenting the milestone moment.

And although Harry wasn't seen lighting up on the water, Marc enjoyed a leisurely cigarette as he stood in his plaid shorts and tight black V-neck tee.

But he didn't stay covered up the whole trip.

On Thursday, he revealed his rock hard body as he and his beau walked hand-in-hand on through the powdery sand at Ipanema beach in Rio.

Marc looked incredibly muscular, and his obliques rippled from beneath his tight black shorts, making a defined 'V' shape.

His boyfriend was in equally good shape, and showed off his rippling torso and toned pectorals as he strutted along the beach in a pair of metallic trunks.

At one point he turned and gazed lovingly at New York born Marc, peering at him sweetly from behind dark oversized sunglasses.

Harry kept his wavy dark hair under a backwards baseball cap, and his dark beard highlighted his strong jawline.

He was clearly enjoying celebrating the milestone birthday with Marc, who he is thought to have met in London a few months ago.

Initially, the pair refused to confirm or deny reports that they were dating.

A photograph of the famed designer looking cosy at a Paris party with the adult film actor led to much-hyped speculation about the nature of their relationship.

According to Brazilian gossip site GPSBrasilia, Jacobs met the youthful and exotic-looking Mr Louis in the British capital.

Born in Brazil, Louis began his sizzling career in Spain and in 2006, after supposedly having his heart broken, moved to the United Kingdom.

He now has over 4000 followers on Facebook and fans of his English language blog regularly log on to catch up on news about his work and look at family photographs.

They may also enjoy Louis gushing about his love for his mother, who - he says - is his best friend.

It is not known if Marc has met Harry's beloved mum yet, but if she follows her handsome son on Twitter then she will have an idea of what they have been getting up to on their holiday.

Harry has posted a string of Twitter pictures of him and Marc soaking up the sunshine and celebrating his birthday.

In one picture, the couple are sunbathing on a roof, and in another looking out from a balcony over crystal blue waters.

In another snap, the pair seem to be on some sort of boat, and Harry is tenderly kissing his serene looking man.

To mark the actual birthday, they enjoyed dinner with Brailian actress Mariana Ximenes, who Harry said organised 'a very beautiful and unforgettable night.'

In some of the pictures, she can be seen wearing a purple dress and smiling broadly as she enjoys socialising with the handsome couple.

Also in the pictures wearing a pale shirt is actor Reynaldo Gianecchini, who Harry describes as 'such a fun guy'.

Marc Jacobs is a highly successful fashion designer...you'd think boyfriend material could come from somewhere besides the porn industry.

Man! These guys are ugly! What are all those horrible ,7th grade basement needle and well-ink scribblings posing as tatoos about? You would think with the dough they have, they would get a REAL tatoo artist to etch their bodies!!! Good Lord people! I do like Marc Jacobs clothing, but truthfully,after seeing this circle jerik,I won't be buying anymore!!! When are celebrities and the like going to realize they should keep their private lifes and their political,sexual orientation to themselves? It is going to cost them $$$, and after all isn't that what they are all about??

Do these two really need to be constantly pouting, posing and making up in public? If they're so madly in love why do they need to be constantly displaying it like a pair of exhibitionists? Maybe they are not as secure in their sexuality as they'd like us all to believe? Elton john and his partner are clearly in love but they're not constantly all over each other in public... These two seem a bit like Katie Price - over the top and before you red arrow me I'm gay too!!! - Anthony 63 , London, 12/4/2013 10:17 What has how they act as a couple got to do with their sexuality??? Some people are show offs and some aren't. It's nothing to do with how comfortable they are in their sexuality, it's just their personalities. What a weird thing to say.

You can coerce, browbeat, legislate, call me a homophobe (which I'm not) no matter what, but this just doesn't sit well with me and it makes me cringe.
