Matildas star Ellie Carpenter ties knot with Dutch football Danielle van de Donk in stunning wedding
Ellie Carpenter has shared two stunning photos from her wedding to Dutch footballer Danielle van de Donk. The couple, who went with public with their relationship in 2023, announced their engagement in January 2024. They met while playing for French women's football club Lyon. Carpenter, 25, took personal leave from the last Matildas window to put the finishing touches on the wedding which is believed to have been held in France at the weekend. Details of the wedding have been hard to come by. Matildas teammate Teagan Micah was part of the wedding party- making a quick trip to France after helping the Matildas beat Argentina earlier this month. Carpenter took to Instagram on Wednesday night to share two photos of the happy couple with the caption 'I choose you. I always choose you.' Both are wearing traditional white gowns. Carpenter donned a veil while van de Donk's dress had a stunning lace front. Teammates were quick to share their congratulations. Steph Catley wrote 'Stunning, what a day'. Micah commented 'the most beautiful brides'. Emily Gielnik wrote 'holy smokes you two are absolutely stunning. Best day ever. Love you both so much.' Carpenter isn't the only Matilda to tie the knot this month. Midfielder Katrina Gorry is due to marry her partner Clare Markstedt this weekend in Australia.

'Seven is part of the fabric of Australian life — informing us, entertaining us, and helping shape the national conversation,' Anthony Albanese said of the achievement. 'This new purpose-built Melbourne headquarters is a major investment in the future of Australian media. It's not just a home for journalism and unforgettable sporting moments, but also a symbol of innovation and ambition. 'Congratulations to everyone involved. From suburbs to stadiums, Seven continues to play an ongoing role in telling our stories. And this world-class facility makes sure Melbourne remains at the heart of it.' Jacinta Allan said: 'This new studio will be a state-of-the-art home to those who tell the stories of our city and state. Whether it's footy, breaking news or the moments that bring us together — they'll be told from Australia's sports and major events capital — here in the heart of Melbourne.' Australia's most respected sports broadcaster Bruce McAvaney and 7NEWS Melbourne presenter Rebecca Maddern hosted the evening, which was also attended by 7NEWS Melbourne presenters and members of Seven's AFL and cricket teams. 'Our new Melbourne headquarters is more than just a state-of-the-art facility.

The innovative studio space features a digital IP-based television facility, a full high definition LED based news set and non-linear file-based story capture and editing, and a large-scale sports control room for the production of major events. 'For nearly 70 years, Seven has been a trusted voice in Melbourne homes, delivering essential news from around the world and down the street, showcasing the sports Australians are passionate about and entertaining generations of viewers,' Jeff Howard said.
