Albano Carrisi and Romina Power are clearly back together, professionally, although romantically - no one is quite sure.
After a marriage of 29 years, the internationally successful schlager power couple divorced in 1999 due to the stress from the mysterious 1994 disappearance of their daughter, Ylenia, in New Orleans.
In the intervening years, Albano appeared on stage reprising their hits, with women as diverse as his daughter, Cristel Carrisi and German schlager/pop star, Helene Fischer - filling in for Romina.

Romina Power, the daughter of American movie idol, Tyrone Power, and a Mexican mother, resides in Arizona where she has been involved in environmental concerns.

As performed live in Verona, Italy, Romina Power, daughter of the American movie star, Tyrone Power, and now a resident of Arizona, sings her very pretty paean to the USA, America, America with her longtime husband and artistic partner, Albano Carissi, looking on:
And here Romina Power and Albano Carissi - from the same concert in Verona, Italy - collaborate on an Italian language version of the great American/Italian superstars, Frank and Nancy Sinatra's 1966 hit, "Somethin' Stupid":
And here, in the same Verona concert, Romina and Albano reprised their classic San Remo Song Festival winning hit, Ci Sara (What will be) :
Here in October of last year, they performed on a televised German ARD-TV schlager music special, their classic hit Felicita (Happiness) which hit #1 in Italy and #6 in Germany in 1982:
