Reality television star and influencer Amy Childs has officially married her long-term partner Billy Delbosq in a heartfelt and intimate ceremony held in central London this past Saturday. The Only Way Is Essex personality, aged 35, exchanged vows with Delbosq, 42, at Marylebone Town Hall, marking a joyous occasion after a previous cancellation due to family health concerns.
A Flawless Ceremony Amidst Family and Friends
Amy Childs arrived at the registry office looking radiant in a traditional white wedding gown, accompanied by her father and a group of bridesmaids. The bridal party made their entrance in a classic black cab, adding a touch of London charm to the proceedings. Meanwhile, Billy Delbosq arrived with his son, Billy Jr., warmly greeting guests as they gathered for the nuptials.
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds emerged from the town hall beaming with happiness, surrounded by their closest family members and friends. Sweet photographs captured the couple sharing a kiss on the staircase before departing together, with Amy later seen proudly displaying her wedding ring. In a nod to tradition, the bride tossed her bouquet of flowers on the steps of the Town Hall, celebrating the milestone with her loved ones.
Social Media Hints and Emotional Journey
Earlier on the wedding day, Amy Childs dropped a subtle hint to her followers on social media, confirming that she had tied the knot. She posted a snapshot of herself and Billy smiling for the camera, captioning the image with the words: 'Today was our day.' The post was adorned with a bridal emoji and the date, 11 April, signaling the special occasion.
This celebration comes after the couple was forced to postpone their original wedding plans last year due to the ill health of Amy's mother, Julie, who suffered a heart attack. Julie was rushed to hospital despite showing no prior symptoms, an event that deeply shocked the family. At the time, Amy expressed her determination to reschedule, telling New! magazine: 'We'll get a new date set. We'll get the summer out the way and in September we'll get organised.' She added, 'The wedding I want needs to be amazing. It will definitely be next year.'
Billy Delbosq echoed her sentiments, stating: 'We'll delay it for a year and it will be bigger and better. I’d love to do a two-day event in England or a week abroad.' Their perseverance paid off with this intimate London wedding, fulfilling their long-awaited dream.
Background and Personal Struggles
Amy Childs announced her engagement to fans in 2023 after Billy popped the question, with the couple having been together since 2021. They are already proud parents to twins Billy and Millie, aged two. Additionally, Amy has a daughter, Polly, eight, from her previous relationship with ex Bradley Wright, and a son, Ritchie, seven, from her former partner, businessman Ritchie.
In recent months, Amy has opened up about her personal struggles, including battling stress that led to unintended weight loss. She admitted to being 'overweight and unhappy' before embarking on a fitness journey, but during the process, stress caused her to lose 'a little more weight than I wanted.' She is now working with a nutrition coach to regain some healthy weight, sharing her progress on Instagram with before-and-after photos and a candid caption about her journey.
Earlier this month, Amy shared a sweet tribute to Billy as he celebrated his 42nd birthday, posting humorous images of herself being picked up by him and gushing about their upcoming wedding. She wrote: 'My Future Husband (counting down the days) ♥️ Happy birthday to my best friend @billydelbosq8 … you drive me mad, but couldn't do life without you, the most amazing dad (the fun one) the most caring person.' She added, 'We love you so much babe and so lucky to have you, can't wait to spoil you today. Polly, Ritchie, Billy and Milly love you.'
The wedding day was a testament to their resilience and love, overcoming obstacles to celebrate their union in a memorable and intimate setting in the heart of London.
