Russell Brand and Laura Gallacher married in 2017, years before allegations against Brand became public, at St Nicholas Church in Remenham, near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. The ceremony took place in front of roughly 100 guests, with nine celebrity attendees present.
Conviction and Support from Family
Brand has faced significant scrutiny following his conviction for rape and sexual assault. His wife, Laura Gallacher, seemed to remain steadfastly beside him throughout the proceedings. The mother of his three children even stepped into the witness box to testify on his behalf, having been photographed backing him outside the courthouse.
Brand, who was 42 at the time, exchanged vows with Laura in 2017. The service drew several notable figures from the world of showbiz.
Notable Guests at the Ceremony
Noel Gallagher, formerly a mate of the groom, was among the most prominent names at the wedding. The duo had maintained a close friendship for almost two decades, but Gallagher cut both personal and professional connections with Brand in April 2025, allegedly following pressure from his daughter, Anaïs, to keep his distance.
The service also attracted television broadcaster Jonathan Ross, who arrived with his wife, screenwriter Jane Goldman. Brand first gained wider recognition through an appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in May 2006, and the two became friends. Nevertheless, both were embroiled in controversy over a prank telephone call on BBC Radio 2 and the creation of offensive voicemail messages aimed at actor Andrew Sachs.
Hollywood star Jason Segel, who appeared alongside Brand in the 2008 film Forgetting Sarah Marshall, made the trip to attend the ceremony. Other notable faces included comedian David Baddiel and television presenter Fearne Cotton. Baddiel has long been counted among Brand's closest friends, frequently discussing their bond in interviews and often appearing alongside him at public events.
Bride's Family and Friends
The bride's nearest and dearest were also well represented on the guest list, with her sister, television presenter Kirsty Gallacher, and her father, former Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher, both in attendance. Veteran professional golfer Sam Torrance, a familiar face within the family's golfing circle, also joined the celebrations.
