It's reported Tom and Rita were both "enchanted" by the terrace overlooking the sea.

There is a nearby heliport by the couple's lavish home, as the only way in and out of the island is via helicopter, according to the outlet.

Neither Tom or Rita have commented on the exciting news on their social media, but no doubt they are incredibly happy.
