The two men are a couple in real life, a Tiffany & Co spokeswoman .

The spokeswoman added: "Nowadays, the road to marriage is no longer linear. True love can happen more than once with love stories coming in a variety of forms."

The pictures used in the ads were shot by fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh. It is not clear whether Tiffany & Co’s global ad agency Ogilvy & Mather was involved.
