Ben has previously dished details on Brittany's stunning engagement ring, revealing he had it sourced and made in Dubai and hid a halo under the diamond in a pavé setting.
He also explained the diamond is lab-grown, which is more cost-effective and ethically sourced compared to natural diamonds.
The cost of a lab grown diamond is around 40 to 50 per cent less than an earth-mined diamond, though it is still a real diamond.
Brittany and Ben wed in a romantic ceremony in Bali on Wednesday.
The wedding took place at Pandawa Cliff Estate which promises a 'dramatic and romantic clifftop setting overlooking the Indian Ocean', and stunning views of Bali's Bukit Peninsula.
Brittany was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train.
The couple gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to Instagram.
One showed Ben romantically embracing his new bride as he leaned in for a newlywed kiss.
The second showed the happy couple beaming as they held hands and hugged each other close.
'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images.
'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis.
The post was met with an outpouring of congratulations from friends, fans and followers.
Laura was quick to chime in with: 'HERE SHE IS!!!!! The most stunning bride and groom ever. What a day.'
NRL WAG Zoe Marshall also offered a simple 'ahhh beautiful', while Brittany's former KIIS FM co-star Mitch Churi revealed the ceremony moved him to tears.
'I'm still crying (and picking firework shrapnel from my quiff),' he wrote.
The Life Uncut podcast announced Brittany's engagement to Ben, 33, last year.
The duo met in November 2022 on the celebrity dating app Raya.

Hong keeps focus on World Cup after successful end to fraught campaign
June 7 (Reuters) - South Korea coach Hong Myung-bo sought to focus on his team's preparations for next year's World Cup rather than the fraught campaign that eventually ended with the country celebrating qualification for an 11th consecutive finals. A 2-0 victory over Iraq in Basra on Thursday confirmed South Korea's progress as one of two automatic qualifiers from Group B of Asia's preliminaries, and came 11 months on from Hong's controversial reappointment as head coach. "It's an opportunity for us to test young guys who may be able to play at the World Cup next year," Hong said of Tuesday's remaining qualifier against Kuwait in Seoul. "We won't have too many opportunities like this. It's one thing for those guys to watch from the bench, and quite another for them to play." Ex-national team captain Hong returned for a second spell in charge in July last year after a series of caretakers had been appointed following Juergen Klinsmann's underwhelming tenure, the German leaving in the aftermath of South Korea's Asian Cup elimination. The 56-year-old's appointment was greeted by protests among hardcore fans, many mindful of the team's performance under Hong at the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, when a highly-fancied squad crashed out in the group phase. Relations with supporters were further damaged by early struggles in qualifying, with players booed off the field in Seoul following an opening 0-0 draw with Palestine in September. That showing was one of several that highlighted the team's issues on native soil. While Hong's side are unbeaten across the nine matches played so far in the third phase of qualifying, the Koreans have won just one of four matches at home. The poor quality of the pitches used was blamed by players for their underwhelming performances and was another reason tensions increased between the country's football hierarchy and the support base. Despite those issues, qualification means the Koreans will extend a run of unbroken World Cup appearances that stretches back to 1986, with Hong now charged with building his squad for the challenge that lies ahead in North America. That will mean giving opportunities to less experienced performers as he looks for long-term options to stalwarts such as Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan of Wolverhampton Wanderers. "From this moment on, everything we do will be geared toward preparing for the World Cup," said Hong.

Taylor Swift shocks fans as she attends Travis Kelce's cousin's Nashville wedding
Taylor Swift gave fans the shock of a lifetime as she attended Travis Kelce 's cousin's wedding in Nashville. Videos spread on X (formally Twitter) of the power couple - who were seen on a date night in Florida earlier this week - enjoying the reception together as they moved and grooved while sitting in their chairs and watching the bride and groom do their first dance. Several videos on TikTok showed the 35-year-old pop megastar wearing a strapless blue floral patterned Markarian dress which retails for $1,995. She completed the look with a pair of strappy brown leather heels as her signature blonde locks were teased into waves which cascaded down her shoulders. Travis, also 35, looked happy to be joined by his ladylove at the family event which took place in a barnhouse reportedly in Nashville. It seemed to be the wedding of the star Kansas City Chief tight end's cousin Tanner Corum, who tied the knot with Samantha Peck. One TikTok user - named @Paigedoeswhatshewants - humorously captioned a post: 'not Taylor Swift being at my friends friends cousins wedding.' Earlier this week the power couple enjoyed a rare date night after fans fell for a viral 'pregnancy' rumor. A now-viral video posted to X (formerly Twitter) caught the couple leaving Buccan restaurant on Wednesday night, which is located near Kelce's $20million mansion in Boca Raton, Florida. Holding hands with the NFL star, Swift greeted awaiting fans with a smile before getting into the front passenger's seat of a black SUV. Kelce made sure Swift was settled in before making his way around the vehicle. As he passed by the excited fans, Kelce politely told them to 'have a goodnight.' For their date night, Swift looked sensational in a classic LBD styled with open-toed heels and a vintage purse. She wore her sandy blonde hair in a bun and appeared to be rocking her signature red lip. 📷| A Fairy Princess attending a wedding today!😊 — Taylor Swift Updates 🩶 (@swifferupdates) June 6, 2025 As for Kelce, the three-time Super Bowl champion towered over his 5foot11inch girlfriend in a black button-up shirt and a pair of flouncy, patterned trousers. The clip of the couple out in Florida quickly went viral, with Swifties flocking to the comment section to fawn over Kelce and how 'polite' he is to Swift and her fans. However, many fans also took the opportunity to playfully roast Kelce's outfit — particularly his wild pants. Several joked that it looked like Kelce was wearing pajamas while others straight up gave the pants a thumbs down. One fans jumped to the football star's defense as they explained that that style of pant is 'standard for dressing up to go out to a nice restaurant' in Florida. The A-list couple's date night comes days after Swift fans convinced themselves that the pop star was pregnant thanks to an optical illusion. The rumor mill went into overdrive after Swift stepped out in New York City with what appeared to be a pregnant belly on display. 'She's eight months pregnant,' wrote one fan on X, while another posted, 'Taylor appears pregnant in New York!' The clip of the couple out in Florida quickly went viral, with Swifties flocking to the comment section to fawn over Kelce and how 'polite' he is to Swift and her fans However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that Swift's black mini-dress had blended into a black car in the background, which made it look like she had a large baby bump. A number of fans found Swift's pregnancy illusion hilarious, with one commenting, 'I thought Travis Kelce was becoming a dad for a sec.' Taylor spent the weekend with bestie Selena Gomez in New York, though she honored her boyfriend Travis during the outing. Swift and Gomez, 32, were spotted at Monkey Bar in Manhattan on Saturday, while Kelce was in Kansas City for the Big Slick charity event. While Kelce wasn't present for the outing, Swift was clearly thinking about him, choosing to wear a sweet gift from the Kansas City Chiefs star. The pop icon was spotted wearing a custom Wove x Michelle Wie West gold and diamond tennis friendship bracelet with the letters "TNT" during the outing, according to TMZ. While Taylor and Travis haven't been out much since he played in the Super Bowl back in February, the couple have been hunkered down in Florida recently. The couple, who have been together since the summer of 2023, have recently been at the center of gossip that they're planning to get married and start a family – and former athletes Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski have shared their thoughts on the pair's future. Julian, 38, said in the 'Dudes on Dudes' podcast about the possibility of Taylor and Travis having their first child: 'That would be a great kid.' Rob, 35, added: 'The kid would be performing – having eight catches a game and then doing the halftime show.' In March 2024, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Harrison Butker told EWTN News in Depth he hoped the couple would ' get married and start a family '. Taylor was photographed in November 2023 holding fellow WAG Chariah Gordon's infant daughter. In February, Travis' friend Adam Lefkoe recalled on the 'Steam Room' podcast the singer was excited to see photos of his baby when they met at an MLB game. Travis is already an uncle to three nieces, with his brother, Jason Kelce, expecting a fourth daughter with wife Kylie Kelce. The athlete has spoken about fatherhood, saying in March 2024, on his and Jason's 'New Heights' podcast: 'I can't wait… to f****** make one' – while discussing 'lab-grown' NBA players. In November, on the 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' show, Travis also joked having a baby would make him 'smarter', adding: 'Man, that's all I had to do to become brilliant?' Swift and Kelce's Wednesday date night also comes days after Swift successfully purchased her own music catalogue for a sum reported to be $360 million by some and anywhere between $600 million and $1 billion by others. In a hand-written letter posted on her website last Friday, Swift claimed the money she made from her lucrative Eras tour last year helped bankroll the purchase of her old material and 'her entire life's work'. She said: 'All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy. ' Taylor then thanked Shamrock Capital for their 'honest, fair and respectful' way they handled the deal, adding: 'I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams.' She then joked: 'My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead.' Kelce celebrated his girlfriend buying back her music in a heartwarming clip ahead of this week's episode of his New Heights podcast. Travis and his co-host brother Jason were joined by NBA great Shaquille O'Neal for the show, and he played a clip of Swift's hit song 'I Knew You Were Trouble'. Travis immediately started jigging as Shaq said it is his 'favorite song in the world', prompting huge cheers from Jason. A beaming Travis replied: 'Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back so it is finally hers too, man. I appreciate that, dog.'

EXCLUSIVE REVEALED: The luxury Italian venue Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have booked for their wedding celebrations
The historical Italian venue billionaire Jeff Bezos, 61, has booked as part of his wedding celebrations to Lauren Sanchez, 55, later this month can be revealed by the MailOnline. The Amazon boss has booked the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of the largest and grandest buildings in the historical centre of Venice, as part of the weekend-long extravaganza of celebrations. When built in 1310 it represented the 'Seven Scuole Grandi' whose members were high society dignitaries in Venice, who reached a level of such wealth and influence they were given leading roles in the state. Its walls are decorated by the city's greatest Renaissance artists. The Lonely Planet travel guides says of the large venue: 'One of Venice's seven grand confraternities, the Misericordia was the seat of the wealthy silk weavers guild that commissioned this enormous classical hall.' 'In 1532 Jacopo Sansovino was brought on board, brainstorming the idea of a Roman basilica within a traditional Venetian frame. No expense was spared on the interiors either, which were frescoed by Veronese, Zanchi, Pellegrini and Tintoretto. In 1914 it was taken over by the Reyer Sports Club, providing a beautiful backdrop to their basketball competitions.' The couple's highly-anticipated nuptials are set to take place the weekend of June 24 in the Floating City, much to the frustration of Venetians who have accused the billionaire of turning their home into a 'playground' for the ultra-wealthy - and are now planning protests to push back. A-list celebrities, politicians, and business leaders are expected to attend, which will mean beefed-up security, closed streets and airspace, and a strong police presence, just as Venice's peak tourist season gets underway. With an eye-popping price tag of $10million and a star-studded guest list that includes the Kardashians, actress Eva Longoria, and pop star Katy Perry - who all attended Sanchez's bachelorette party in Paris earlier this month - the wedding promises to opulence on overdrive. While President Donald Trump isn't expected to make an appearance, his children Ivanka and Don Jr are set to attend with their respective partners, husband Jared Kushner and new girlfriend Bettina Anderson. Guests are likely to land at nearby airports in gas-guzzling private planes - Bezos owns four Gulfstream jets - although the 61-year-old can't dock his $500million superyacht Koru as it's too big to anchor anywhere close to Venice. The massive carbon footprint of Bezos and his loaded guests will irk locals further, as Venice is blighted with polluted canals and mass tourism is destroying the fragile lagoon the city sits in. The Laboratorio Occupato Morion - a self-described 'anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist and trans-feminist political space' - is already planning on hosting a protest event in the city on Friday at its social center, a short walk from the historic St. Mark's Square. The group has already begun advertising the protest online - sharing a flyer with an image of Bezos' head atop a rocket alongside the slogan: 'No space for Bezos, No space for oligarchs!' 'Jeff Bezos thinks he can buy the entire city - let's throw him a party!', the flyer reads, alongside details of Friday's demonstration. A lengthy adjoining caption reads : 'Venice is transformed into yet another playground for billionaires, while those who live it every day are left with discomfort, exclusion and precariousness.'
