Television presenter Davina McCall and her hairdresser husband, Michael Douglas, have opted for a festive escape, flying to the United States for their first holiday as newlyweds. The couple, who secretly married earlier this month, decided to celebrate Christmas early before departing the UK for a romantic getaway.
An Early Festive Celebration
The pair, who have been together since 2018, tied the knot in a private ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall on Friday 5 December. Just weeks later, they have embarked on what fans are calling their honeymoon. Before their transatlantic flight, Michael Douglas took to social media to reveal they had already marked the festive season. He told followers, "We’ve come on our holiday to relax and have already celebrated Christmas", confirming the celebrations took place over the weekend in the UK.
This early Christmas allowed the couple to enjoy quality time with loved ones before their departure. The announcement prompted a flood of warm messages from fans online, with many congratulating them on their recent marriage and wishing them a happy holiday period.
Intimate Wedding Details Revealed
The marriage came just three months after their engagement, which took place during a holiday in Ibiza. Opting for an intimate affair, the ceremony was attended by only about ten close friends and family members. A source described the day as "perfect, exactly what they wanted", noting the venue was chosen for its proximity to their home.
Breaking from tradition, Davina, 58, chose a striking white faux fur coat over a conventional wedding dress, accessorised with a lace hat, tights, and heels. Her now-husband, 49-year-old Michael, wore a bright blue suit for the occasion. The couple's happiness was evident in the photos that later emerged from their special day.
Looking Ahead as Newlyweds
The decision to marry quickly was reportedly a conscious one for the pair, who have supported each other through recent personal challenges, including Davina's health. "They didn’t see the point in waiting," an insider explained. True to their low-key approach, they attended a friend's wedding the very next day, happily showcasing Davina's new wedding ring.
Now enjoying their post-wedding trip to the USA, the couple is focused on relaxation and celebrating this new chapter. Their story, from a surprise engagement to a secret wedding and now a festive honeymoon, continues to capture the affection of their fans, who are eagerly following their journey as husband and wife.
