It’s not the first time that their relationship has been rocked by rumour of infidelity.

And now it seems that reality TV star Snooki is facing yet more gossip relating to her marriage of less than a year.

According to Us Weekly, an email belonging to Jionni LaValle, the father of her two children whom she married last November, was used to set up an account on the notorious Ashley Madison website.

Jionni and Snooki – whose real name is Nicole Polizzi – are both 27 and together have a son, Lorenzo, three, and a daughter, Giovanna, 10 months.

In January of this year, Ms Polizzi was forced to dismiss rumours that her husband was cheating on her; it had been speculated that he had hit on and exchanged numbers with a woman in Florida.

Taking to Twitter in response and calling the story “BS,” she emphatically told her 7million followers: “My man ain't goin' nowhere #shady.”

Back in March 2012, a then 24-year-old Snooki announced her pregnancy and engagement on the front of US Weekly magazine.

Previously known for her wild antics and partying, she said at the time: "I have different priorities now.

"I don't care what anybody else thinks. As long as I know I'm ready and he's ready."

Mr LaValle added: "We are not going to screw this up."

Ashley Madison, a website which targeted married and attached men and women looking to have extramarital relations, operated under the tagline: “Life is short. Have an affair.”

A recent hack, however, released the personal data of its 37million subscribers. A group called the Impact Squad, which states, “cheating dirt bags do not deserve anonymity,” is behind the mass breach of security.

Names, ages, addresses, phone numbers, credit card details and detailed sexual fantasies have all now been leaked, resulting in numerous lawsuits filed against the company.

It is the second high profile attack on affair-facilitating sites this year. In March, AdultFriendFinder suffered a similar massive data breach, with hackers publishing details of 4million subscribers online.

It was the celebrity wedding of the summer: Boyzone star Ronan Keating married TV producer Storm Uechtritz in a glittering four-day celebration in Scotland.

And now the first snaps of their Big Day have emerged – with all eyes being on the 34-year-old bride's stunning dress.

The Aussie-native wore a bespoke Chantilly lace dress embroidered with silk and organza petals. Created by designer Steven Khalil, also an Australian, rather than being stark white the gown sports a soft, warm hue. 

With the likes of Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham, as well as Dannii Minogue and Brian McFadden all in attendance, the star-factor was always going to be high.

But even Storm herself was uncharacteristically mute when none-other than Ed Sheeran came on to perform during their reception. 

In an tell-all interview with HELLO! magazine, which exclusively covered the event, Ronan reveals: "Ed's a good friend and Thinking Out Loud is one of mine and Storm's songs.

"When we all caught up in New York City a couple of months ago, I sounded him out about doing it and he didn't hesitate. I was blown away. He is the most grounded, decent guy in the business and what a talent.

"Storm was speechless when Ed appeared. That doesn't happen often!"

Still, the new Mrs Keating had a surprise of her own for the groom: a customised Land Rover Defender which she presented to him immediately after they said their vows.

Ronan describes the car as "the best present ever".

"I've had a couple of them over the years," he states, "but nothing like this one. She has customised it exactly how I would have done it myself – she knows me so well."

Meanwhile, and away from the trappings of a high-profile celebrity wedding, this was very much a family affair – much like the couple's stag and hen dos

In fact, Ronan's son Jack, 16, was best man at the open-air ceremony, while daughters Missy, 14, and nine-year-old Ali were Maid Of Honour and flower girl respectively.

Even the family's pet pug, Aussie, got in on the action: she was ring-bearer and trotted along a petal-strewn aisle with the wedding rings tied around her neck.

"It was a perfect day. We always wanted the wedding party to be just us and the kids," Ronan, 38, also tells HELLO! "It's so special for me that Storm would want the girls to be by her side.

"I'm so proud and honoured. It means the world."

Ronan goes on to tell how he believes his late bandmate, Stephen Gately, who died in 2009, had a hand in ensuring they were basked in sunshine for the entire celebration.

"I know that my Mam, Steo and Storm's granddad had a hand in making sure the weather was perfect – the one thing that was out of our hands."

You can find out more about Ronan and Storm's wedding day at hellomagazine.com and you can read the full interview with lots more pictures in this week's edition of HELLO! which is out tomorrow. It's also available to download tomorrow via iPad, Android, and Kindle fire.

One couple in Wales decided to something very unexpected for their wedding party.

Ben and Derii Rogers Wood realised that at a gay wedding, there wasn’t going to be any wedding dresses seen on the big day.

So, they decided they wanted to include the tradition in their nuptials and dressed all of their bridesmaids in wedding dresses.

Derii spoke to Buzzfeed News about the idea and said that it came to him when they couldn’t decide on bridesmaids’ dresses for all of their bridesmaids.

Apparently, once he voiced the idea to the ladies, it became a somewhat friendly “competition” to see who could find the best dress for the big day.

Guests at the wedding were very surprised indeed to see a troupe of brides converging on the ceremony. Derii says that even motorists driving were slowing down to have a look.

He explained that it certainly added something to the day for he and Ben, explaining that “The atmosphere was absolutely amazing.”

He added, “I think they all loved it because it made them feel like they it was their day too.”

Congratulations to the happy couple, and their very stylist bridal party. We wonder if that’s a trend that might catch on…

Yesterday in Cork, 2FM radio DJ Louise McSharry married her partner Gordon Spierin.

Earlier on this week Louise took to twitter to post the message “what a difference a year makes,” as it marked one year since she was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Louise received good news in March when her doctors informed her she was in remission.

The 32-year old took a brief break from radio but has since resumed her position on the air waves every weekday evening.

Leading up the big day the DJ gave us all an intimate look at her wedding preparations. One of which, the most important one we imagine, was watching Magic Mike on repeat the morning of her wedding.

The pair married in an intimate ceremony in the luxurious Ballinacurra House outside Kinsale.

The location is often noted for the privacy which it offers it’s guests. Set in a secluded and very pretty woodland, the beautiful house was one of the destinations sought by none other than Kanye West for his honeymoon with wife Kim Kardashian.

In 2006 the house was also famed after it was chosen by Michael Jackson as the location he chose to stay with his children. At the time he was hoping to stay somewhere quiet and private as a respite from the pressures of fame.

The Dublin native Louise admitted that the night before her wedding she slept in her ‘Yes Equality’ t-shirt, she admitted on twitter that “it only seemed right.”

Throughout the day she received huge numbers of supportive messages to congratulate her on the big day. 2Fm posted photos of the much-loved DJ in her beautiful gown on their twitter page for fans to see.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

The internet went mental over the weekend when rumour kicked-off that Jennifer Aniston's top-secret wedding dress had finally been revealed. 

Sadly however, it later emerged that the gown was not connected to the actress in any way – and that it had all been a big misunderstanding. 

Still, we shouldn't lose hope just yet – it seems that we may have indeed been given a sneak-peak of her wedding day attire before… on reality TV show, Say Yes To The Dress.

Say what, now!?

Yup, TMZ has done some stellar digging, and discovered an April airing of the hit show which reveals an awful lot. 

In it, a bride is seen trying on options in Manhattan's swish Kleinfeld boutique – eventually weighing-up the merits of a €7,600 gown from Mark Zunino

She initially feels the price-tag is too steep until, that is, an employee reveals: "I know the dress really well – I actually picked this dress for Jen Aniston to wear on her wedding day."

She adds: "In my head, this is Jennifer Aniston's dress."

The piece in question – a sweeping silk sheath gown  – is a classic, somewhat understated creation. 

It features a stunning deep illusion neckline and plunging back with buttons in silk crepe and lace, and has a chapel train and cap sleeves.

The gown is also an exclusive to the Chelsea bridal boutique. Indeed, the upmarket outlet is the exclusive stockist of pieces from the Mark Zunino bridal label, which was founded in 2011.

TMZ has now asked Kleinfeld for a comment, and the website says it is currently waiting to hear back. Mail Online approached the designer himself, to which a representative replied: "We can neither confirm nor deny that we designed the gown for Jennifer Aniston's special day.

"We can confirm that we did do sketches of wedding dress options for her."

Interestingly, LA-native Mr Zunino has already dressed Jen's BFF Courteney Cox for the red carpet.

Jennifer, 46, married actor Justin Theroux, 44, in a top-secret ceremony on August 5 at their €20m LA home. They have been together for four years, and engaged since August 2012.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Jennifer Aniston got married to her fiancé of three years, Justin Theroux.

The couple managed to pull it off, on Wednesday the 5th of August, while keeping it a huge secret from the public, with only guests being aware that it was on.

The ceremony took place in their Bel Air mansion with a host of celebrity guests present including Orlando Bloom, Emily Blunt and Jimmy Kimmel. 

But besides all of that, all people really care about is what her dress looked like. So people got a bit excited when this image popped up on social media claiming to be the first picture from the wedding. 

A fake Jennifer Aniston Facebook page posted a picture of a woman in an extravagant wedding dress with the caption "You have my whole heart for my whole life. #WeddingDress."

Fans went wild when they saw this picture with so many of them congratulating her on how amazing she looks and a number of news outlets shared the photo as the first shot of Jennifer in her wedding dress. 

 

 

But the truth came out pretty quickly. The fact that there is no blue tick beside the Facebook name is the first indication that this was a fake and then to really confirm out doubts, the picture was found on Pinterest. Fail.

It's notoriously a time to really let your hair down surrounded by your closest friends: yes, hen and stag weekends have something of a reputation for debauchery and drunken antics. 

But Ronan Keating and Storm Uechtritz are definitely maintaining low-key celebrations in advance of their Monday nuptials in Scotland.

In fact, it is the former Boyzone singer's teenage children who have been tasked with organising the events. 

For Storm, that means getting the Eurostar from London to Paris with a dozen friends and family of varying ages. The group, who donned pink Storm's hen lanyards, were this morning all gifted with chic monogrammed Burberry scarves.

They also brought on board with them champagne or lemonade and brunch in wicker baskets from London's famed and oh-so posh Fortnum & Mason

In one Instagram snap, the bride-to-be was eager to thank her stepdaughter-in-waiting, Missy Keating, 14, for organising the particulars. Also visible in the same image is younger sis Ali Keating, nine.

Meanwhile, back in Ireland, Ronan's own bash was underway with thanks to Jack, his 16-year-old son. In an online post, the musician thanked his eldest child – as well as Storm – for pulling together the pre-wedding celebrations.

The accompanying snap also showed lines of brightly-coloured cooler pouches, each with a sticker naming the reciprocate, as well as a row of white gift bags. "The stage is set," the Dubliner said, playfully adding: "This could get messy."

Ronan, 38, popped the question to his 34-year-old Australian girlfriend of three years in April during a tropical trip to Thailand. "We've been together a few years now and knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.

"I felt it was the right time," he said in a Hello! magazine interview announcing their intention to marry.

Mr Keating also helped design her ring: a stunning oval-shaped diamond set in a diamond-encrusted band.

His divorce to Yvonne Connolly, 41, whom he married in 1999, was finalised earlier this year following their 2011 split. 

Ronan's friend Brian McFadden had previously warned that the stag-do "won't be wild". He added in conversation with the Daily Star: "Ronan's stag do will be all red wine and cigars."

Following their lightning-quick engagement, Ronan and Storm will marry on Monday at the luxurious Archfield House estate and golf club in East Lothian. 

She has also been married once before – to finance chief Tim Iver.

She made waves when she was announced as one of the new Victoria's Secret models in April of this year and now Russian beauty Kate Grigorieva has wed her sweetheart Alexander in a romantic ceremony in St. Peterberg, Russia.

The bride wore a dress from Zac Posen's bridal line in David's Bridal shop, and it did not disappoint. The dress was a fitted lace trumpet style and featured a sheer neckline and full length sleeves. The bride teamed her dress with a cathedral length lace veil. 

Her honey blonde hair was styled into a romantic low bun with her fringe swept to the side… perfection.

We feel Kate's bridesmaids also have to get a mention too, as they all looked stunning in mixture of purple dresses. 

Before the model rose to fame with Victoria's Secret she was previously a contestant on Russia's Next Top Model – where she came second – and also took part in Miss Russia 2012.

We wish all the best for the happy couple!

Fair warning: this video will probably make you feel an awful lot of feelings and also cry.

Wedding photographers Matt and Pacey Harris captured on film the moment bride Brooke Blackledge opened a letter from her mother that had been written 20 years previously.

When she was 18-months old asleep in her baby bed her biological mom, wrote her a note to be opened on her wedding day.

Her adoptive parents found out they were not able to have children of their own and adopted Brooke's older brother Brian, and then 11 years later Brooke. Her mom kept the letter unopened and unwrapped to give to Brooke as a gift on the big day.

In the note, which her mom wrote on a piece of her own wedding dress, she told Brooke how much joy her birth had brought to the family.

"Being adopted, I wanted her to know how much we loved her and I thought it would be extremely precious when she opened it up on her wedding day.”

Brooke married her childhood sweetheart Tyler Zugg in March and her adoptive parent’s touching surprise was all captured on camera.

Last Monday, US talk show host Jimmy Kimmel hosted a private stag do for the then Mr Jen Aniston-to-be, Justin Theroux.

And to keep things super private, 47-year-old Jimmy held the party in his own West Hollywood home, with Justin and the rest of his stag squad joining marking the occassion in the spectacular barn-themed bar of Jimmy's house. 

However, while Mr Kimmel hosted the stag do, he did not fill in as Justin's best man: that honour instead went to tattoo artist Scott Campbell.

Unsurprisingly, BFF Courteney Cox was Jennifer's maid of honour. 

The now married couple went to great lengths to keep their wedding ceremony a private affair. They even scrapped their original plans of getting married abroad for added security.

A source told New York Post's Page Six column: "Jennifer and Justin have been planning an August wedding, but it was very, very top secret. They had talked about getting married abroad, but decided on their home for privacy while allowing their closest friends to be there".

As they got married in their Bel Air home they were surrounded by famous guests such as Emily Blunt, Chelsea Handler and Ellen DeGeneres. 

The couple have now travelled to the Pacific island nation of Bora Bora for their honeymoon.

We wish all the best for the newlyweds!

It seems like only yesterday that he split from Paula Patton, his wife of a decade and the mother of his young son.

Indeed, their divorce was only finalised in March.

Then of course, a little over a year ago, Robin Thicke released a new album touchingly entitled Paula, which he dedicated to her.

But if recent reports are to be believed, Mr Thicke is a fast mover: the Grammy-winner is now… engaged!

He got down on one knee recently, with his overjoyed 20-year-old girlfriend of ten months, April Love Geary, immediately accepting his proposal. 

According to a source who spoke to Life & Style, the 38-year-old Blurred Lines singer simply doesn't want to risk losing April – and so is happy to see their relationship move fast. 

“Both his parents have told him to take some time and not rush into marriage again so soon,” the same source adds. 

 

Daddy long legs.

Seemingly he’s not listening to those pleas: “They go almost everywhere together. He’s totally obsessed with her,” they continued.

However, as the pair have no date yet in mind – and as his divorce is so recent – he's apparently not ready for April to go public with a ring just yet.

“He's aware of how things look,” another, separate friend confided. “He absolute wants to commit to her fully and thinks she's The One – but he also reckons they should wait a while before making a formal annoucement.” 

Robin and April only made their red-carpet debut in May, when they hit the Cannes festival together – with numerous onlookers there saying they couldn't keep their hands off each other.

We're awaiting official confirmation, but a huge big congratulations to the happy couple regardless!

There to witness their Big Day are the likes of Brad Pitt and ­Angelina Jolie as well as George and Amal Clooney, who themselves married less than a year ago.

Sting and wife Trudie Styler arrived this afternoon, as did Jemima Khan, Gwyneth Paltrow and David Beckham – all three of whom appear to be attendance without a plus-one. 

Producer Matthew Vaughn, who worked with Guy on Snatch and Lock, Stock, and his wife Claudia Schiffer also witnessed the happy couple tie the knot earlier today.

Celebrations are currently kicking off, with chef Jamie Oliver doing the food with the reception – which is being held at Ashcombe House, the couple's sprawling country estate in Wiltshire in south west England.

The wedding seems to have a music festival feel to it, with teepees and tents set up around the grounds. 

A source told The Mirror earlier this week: “The guest list is jaw-dropping. It’s like the Oscars. If even half of them come, it will be the party of the year.

“There are marquees being set up in the gardens and food by Jamie’s chefs. It’s going to be amazing.

“Guy is well connected and liked, so it’s no surprise there are so many people invited to his wedding.”

Guy's eight-year marriage to Madonna famously ended in 2008. He and Jacqui have three children – Rafael, three, Rivka, two, and Levi, one, while Guy also has two sons, Rocco and David, from his first marriage.
