Acclaimed director Steven Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw were beaming with joy as they celebrated their daughter Jessica’s 48th birthday in Portofino, Italy.
The iconic director, 76, and his actress partner, 69, were spotted strolling hand-in-hand through the picturesque streets of Portofino, accompanied by their family members.

Earlier this year, Steven revealed that he had no regrets about turning down the offer to helm the first Harry Potter film in 2001, as it allowed him to spend quality time with his family.
In a conversation with Indian director SS Rajamouli, Steven explained that he chose to prioritize his family over the opportunity to direct the film, which became a massive success.
“I chose to turn down the first Harry Potter to basically spend the next year and a half with my family, my young kids growing up,” he said.
He added that he sacrificed a great franchise to be with his family, which he is very happy about looking back.
