Anna Whitehouse, the radio presenter and flexible working campaigner known as Mother Pukka, has married her partner Olly Breton in a beautiful London ceremony.
A London Love Story
The couple, who met on the Hinge dating app two years ago, tied the knot at Chelsea Town Hall on Saturday. They were surrounded by 43 of their closest family and friends, including their children. The ceremony marked a new chapter for the 44-year-old author and Heart FM presenter, whose previous marriage of 17 years ended in April 2023.
Following the formalities, the wedding party boarded a classic red London double-decker bus to continue the celebrations. Their reception was held at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental hotel in Knightsbridge, which offered stunning views over Hyde Park. The venue held special significance, as it was the same hotel where Anna and Olly had their first in-person meeting in November 2023 after matching online.
Bridal Style and Emotional Speeches
Anna made a stunning bride in a strapless gown designed by Savannah Miller, sourced from Rozie Bridal. Her look was completed with a bouquet from The Flower Lounge. The hotel was decorated for the festive season, providing a magical backdrop for champagne, a wedding breakfast, and heartfelt speeches.
One of the most emotional moments came during a speech by Anna's father. She has often credited him with inspiring her high-profile 'Flex Appeal' campaign, which champions the right to flexible working arrangements for parents.
A Blended Family Celebration
Anna and Olly's union represents a joyful blended family. Anna shares two daughters, Eva and Mae, with her former husband Matt Farquharson. The wedding was also a celebration for the couple's one-year-old daughter, Lola.
Anna first announced her engagement to Olly, who maintains a low profile on social media, in June of last year. Sharing the news on Instagram, she wrote: 'So this happened. Can't stop smiling... Here's to a very different, blended family love story.' She later described the mix of joy and 'weirdness' in sharing such personal news publicly on her podcast.
Alongside her broadcasting and campaigning work, Anna is also a published author. Her book, Underbelly, was released in 2021.
