Buble and wife use Skype to maintain long-distance love

Michael Buble has said Skype dates had helped him and his wife Luisana Loreley Lopilato de la Torre through their first year of marriage.

When asked how he and his partner - who celebrated their first wedding anniversary in March - coped with a long-distance relationship, the 'Crazy Love' singer said they relied on video chats.

He told Entertainment Tonight Canada: "A lot of Skype dates."

The 36-year-old entertainer continued: "I miss her, though. It's just been nuts…We've been going back and forth."

To mark their first 12 months of wedded bliss, Michael revealed that he recorded a song and video for Luisana.

In return, the 25-year-old actress gave him a very special book that contained "every note, every love note, every ticket - everything we've done. She saved everything. It was very sweet."

Michael and Luisana were introduced after one of his concerts in Buenos Aires in November 2008.

The couple got engaged in 2009 and had two ceremonies in Argentina in front of approximately 300 family members and friends.
