Jerry Seinfeld, 69, bares summer body yachting in St. Tropez with wife Jessica, 51

Jerry Seinfeld, 69, bared his summer body as he sunned himself shirtless on a yacht in the South Of France this week.

The comedy legend was accompanied by his longtime wife Jessica, 51, and one of their sons as they glided over the Mediterranean off St. Tropez.

Like her husband, Jessica was ready to take a dip, clad in a swimsuit that played up her enviably toned figure to full advantage.

She and Jerry have been married since 1999 and have welcomed three children into the world together – Sascha, 22, Julian, 20, and Shepherd, 17.

Jessica leapt at the athletic opportunities of her yachting trip, popping on a snorkel before she took the plunge into the sea.

When she arrived back on deck, she wrapped herself in a stylishly sheer canary yellow robe and dried herself off by lounging in the sun. 

Jerry met Jessica during her disastrous first marriage to Eric Nederlander, a scion of one of New York’s top theater-owning dynasties.

She insisted in the New York Times that she initially displayed no interest in Jerry, who was supposedly unaware she was married when he first tried flirting with her.

Eric however furiously accused Jessica of cheating on him with Jerry, and filed for divorce in late 1998 just four months after the wedding.

‘I was manipulated, misled, and completely caught off guard by Jessica’s infidelity,’ he fumed to Page Six. ‘Jerry and Jessica have no respect for decent values. They deserve each other. I’m going on with my life.’

As the marriage collapsed, Eric’s mother Caren Nederlander gave TV Guide her own appraisal of the situation: ‘Jessica, like Monica Lewinsky, became starstruck.’ 

The following year, Jessica and Jerry tied the knot in a Christmas Day ceremony officiated by the comedian George Wallace.

Some years later Jessica insisted in Vogue that ‘Jerry was neither the cause nor the effect’ of her first marriage falling apart.

Meanwhile, during the coronavirus lockdowns in 2020, Jerry reflected on how his own marriage to Jessica had managed to last so long.

‘Well, I’m not in Hollywood, I’m in New York, so I have a little advantage there,’ he quipped during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

‘I always thought that LA was very bad for marriage. I think you need good – four seasons is good marriage weather,’ he went on.

‘When it’s sunny and warm all the time, that’s not good for long relationships, you know? ‘Cause it makes you want to venture out. It makes you want to venture out. It’s nice out. In New York, you just want to stay home in the winter.’

Meanwhile his children ‘love to take me down when I’m trying to be funny and I’m not. They love to just stare at me and just go: “Really? Is that one of your new bits?”‘

The sitcom icon self-effacingly confessed: ‘That’s the worst thing that they’ll say. “Is this something that you’re working on, Dad?”‘
