“The choice to not immediately share this publicly has allowed us to enjoy and share this milestone in our lives together with each other and our wider friend-and-family circle. So much of what I do is highly publicised by the media. Our intention and wish, was to not lose the importance of our marriage in any form of too much media attention. Having had a chance to celebrate our newest adventure over the past few weeks, I am so excited to now be able to share some positive news with all of you after these recent trying and difficult times.

“My wife (yes, I really said that!) and I, are looking forward to the next chapter of our lives together! We are so grateful for the love and support shown to us over the past few weeks and ask that you all continue to pray for us as we navigate this chapter.”

The couple, dubbed #SomHale on social media, wed in a lavish traditional African ceremony at Kibler Park, Johannesburg on Saturday, September 28. They had numerous – often matching – outfit changes throughout the day.

Turner (24) and Jonas (30) connected in 2016 in a way that seems the new norm: via Instagram.

“We had a lot of mutual friends and they’d been trying to introduce us for a long time,” Turner told Harper’s Bazaar UK during a March 2019 interview. “We were following each other on Instagram and he direct messaged me one fine day, out of the blue.”

They spoke for a few weeks before meeting up in real life at a local bar in London. Turner even brought some friends with in case Jonas was a catfish.

Emma Stone is a married woman! After months of speculation, it has been confirmed that the Oscar-winning actress secretly tied the knot with her Saturday Night Live writer, fiance Dave McCary.

People Magazine reports that a source can confirm the couple are married, although no further details were provided. Neither of them has publicly addressed their nuptials, but they have been spotted out wearing matching wedding bands.

Stone first got the rumour mill running when she wore a wedding band very different to her engagement ring during an interview with Reese Witherspoon and psychiatrist Harold S. Koplewicz on the Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine YouTube channel back in May.

The couple got engaged in December 2019, after being together for about two years. McCary announced the engagement on Instagram.

It’s been 24 years since Food Network’s Ree Drummond aka the Pioneer Woman, married husband Ladd. Over two decades, later, the couple have four kids, a ranch and an empire.

The pair married on September 21, 1996 and Ree recently took to social media to share a never-before-seen image from their special day in honour of their 24th wedding anniversary.

‘I never got around to ordering my wedding photos. I’m an enneagram 7 like that. Anyway, I found this snapshot last week because Alex wanted to see my dress. It had a corset tie in the back with a little bunch of silk flowers at the waist. All business on the front, though. ? I love you, Ladd Drummond! Happy anniversary, and thank you for getting me pregnant within a week of this photo being taken,” the chef wrote on Instagram.

Ree and Ladd met during a girls night at a bar in her hometown, according to The Pioneer Woman’s website.

“When Ree headed out for a casual girls’ night in her hometown, her expectations were low,” it said. “She had just moved back from Los Angeles and was making a pit stop in her hometown of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, for a few months before moving to Chicago. Desperate for a fun time with old friends, Ree agreed to meet her childhood buddies at a local dive (and didn’t even bother to put on eyeliner before rushing out the door!). The only thing on her mind was a much-needed glass of chardonnay.”

They locked eyes at the bar and have been together ever since. They now share four children: Alex (23) , Paige (21) , Bryce (18) and Todd (16). Their eldest daughter Alex recently got engaged.
