English term or phrase: Love on the rocks?
this is meant to be a headline for a 1960's Italian scandal magazine (for an art project in which I am creating media about fake celebrities)
Don't worry about a literal translation - much better to catch the sensationalistic flavor of what would have actually been written on an Italian magazine of the era.

agree  Gianni Pastore: Se stiamo parlando dei Falck, perfetta direi :))) Non avevo affatto letto l'intro dell'asker. Mi era venuto in mente Falck perchè lui si chiamava Giorgio, era sposato con Rosanna Schiaffino e amava le barche :)

love on the rocks?
l'amore è ai ferri corti?


Explanation:
Significa che i due non vanno più d'accordo e sono sul punto di lasciarsi. Ho tolto il riferimento all'idea del naufragio ma mi sembra che renda comunque l'idea.

Qualcosa "alla deriva" e' qualcosa che si sta deteriorando, che va sempre peggio, senza che ci sia la volonta' di contrastare questo processo.

*****Amore ‘alla deriva’ tra Michelle Hunziker e Daniele Pecci.***** L’attore, di recente beccato con la Falchi, è stato immortalato da ‘Diva e Donna’ mentre regalava una rosa rossa a una misteriosa amica, anche lei rigorosamente bionda

Letteralmente, "andare alla deriva" significa navigare lasciandosi trascinare da correnti e venti senza opporre resistenza alcuna.
