Javier Bardem took a break from shooting his new film, Venuto Al Mundo, with a family lunch outgoing with wife Penelope Cruz and their son.  Smiles and lots of love where on the lunch menu.  UsMagazine.com captured the parents enjoying the meal as well as the company of their 10 month old child, Leo. About being a parent, Cruz told Vogue in June, ”From the first second, you feel so much love. It is a revolutionary experience.  That’s the best way I can describe it.  It transforms you completely, in a second.  Nature is very wise and gives you nine months to prepare, but in that moment, when you see that face, you are transformed forever.”

How can you involve your child in a romantic date?

Cupid’s Advice:

A date with your partner can lose its romance when the kids have to tag along. Find out how to keep the vibe going with subtle actions:

1. Communicate: Even if your child is present, make sure to speak to still incorporate adult conversation as well.

2. Touch: Just taps on the hand or rubs on the back throughout the date can keep things intimate.

3. Share dessert: Share a sweet treat while the kids make their own mess at the other end of the table.

How do you keep the romance alive when your child is with you? Share your thoughts below.

    I love the couple and how they handle their relationship
    with their child.

  • Haley

    I agree with you, it’s just so amazing how they still have
    time for their child even if they’re busy.

  • jess

    Me and my hub usually have time for kids, dinner, lunch and
    TV. You should have activities like those too to prevent conflict with them.

  • alohamona

    What important is, you’re there for them anytime, all the
    time.

  • Jimbo Gott

    nothings as you share a meal… :)

    Write some cute
    love notes or subtle turn-ons on the tissue or table napkin and pass it to
    him… 
     

  • Noel Stiller

    Hold his hand or
    rub his knee and back…while you are both enjoying your meal… Be creative..

    I believe family bondings outside of the home are really important. We should aside some time to be with the family and go out to catch up on what’s happening with each other’s separate activities and talk on anything under the sun.

    Incorporate your
    kids to your date and have more fun 
    while playing and having some cuddly
    times together.

    Dinner dates can
    also be intimate with kids. This is the time to flirt around with your beau
    and make sure that you catch his attention.

  • Serafina Jones

    Develop a sense of
    fun and intimacy with your partner. Never mind if the kids are around. Grab
    his attention with small movements or play with your hair; just like when you
    were just dating..LOL
