Robin Thicke, 48, finally marries model April Love Geary, 30, after six-year engagement
After a six-year engagement, Robin Thicke, 48, has finally married his longtime fiancee April Love Geary, 30.
The couple tied the knot on Friday during a lavish ceremony held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, as the bride - who has welcomed three children with Thicke - walked down the aisle in a stunning white lace gown and a long ruffled veil.
Geary shared footage from the wedding to her Instagram Story, offering fans their first glimpse at the seaside nuptials, and also shared a photo of herself holding back tears at the altar as Thicke appeared to deliver his vows into a microphone.
In a loving gesture to his late father Alan Thicke, Robin and April kept a seat in the front row empty. Alan died in 2016 at the age of 69.
Geary's video revealed that Alan's chair had 'In Loving Memory Of Alan Thicke' posted on the back of it.
She also shared a short clip of her own father walking her down the aisle as their guests looked on.
Robin wore a black tuxedo and held hands with the couple's two-year-old son Luca Patrick, who served as ring bearer.
Luca, also dressed in a black tux, carried a briefcase that read: 'Ring Security'
April and Robin are also parents to daughters Lola Alain, four, and Mia Love, six, but the two girls did not appear in any of the videos shared to Instagram.
It was revealed on Thursday that the guest list would include Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher, and Community star Ken Jeong, but they weren't shown in April's videos.
The celebrations reportedly kicked off with a welcome dinner on Thursday and were expected to continue through the weekend, with guests arriving as early as Wednesday.
On Wednesday, April took to her Instagram Stories to reveal just how nervous she felt ahead of her wedding weekend.
'I get married this weekend, and I leave tomorrow. And my nerves are so bad, like I honestly, all day, have felt like I'm going to vomit,' she admitted.
'And I'm just going over a checklist in my head of, like, all the things I need to pack, all the things I need to pack for the kids. And, like, of course I haven't packed anything yet. And I leave tomorrow and I'm an idiot.
'But oh my god, I'm so excited! But I'm literally, like, nauseous. Like, I feel like I'm actually going to throw up. Oh my god! I'm going to forget something important.'
The next day, Geary shared excited airport snaps alongside her maid of honor and bridesmaids.
'Let's get y'all married! Cabo here we come!' they captioned the photos.
Thicke proposed to Geary twice—first in December 2018, and again just last week outside the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in France.
'Robin surprised me during our trip to Cannes by proposing to me again with a new [Established Jewelry] ring,' April gushed on Instagram.
'I'm so obsessed with [the ring], thank you! This trip was such a dream. I love you so much @robinthicke.'
In April, Geary offered a peek into her bridesmaid dress shopping experience by posting a carousel of photos showing her trying on various gowns.
'Thank you so much @azaziebridal for the best day! My bridesmaids are so happy with their dresses! And thank you for letting me try on some dresses for fun,' she wrote.
She added 'We honestly had so much fun and you guys went above and beyond. Thanks for taking care of all of us.'
Thicke and Geary began dating in 2014, just months after Thicke's split from his wife of 10 years, actress Paula Patton.
He and Patton, who finalized their divorce in 2015, also share 14-year-old son Julian Fuego.
Back in 2016, Thicke and Geary sparked secret wedding rumors after getting matching tattoos on their ring fingers to mark their second anniversary. But as the sweet videos now confirm, they waited until now to make it official.
Thicke's first proposal took place during a family dinner on Christmas Eve, and Geary wrote on Instagram at the time: 'YES YES 1000x YES.'
The singer previously revealed the couple were busy planning their wedding and had hoped to tie the knot in 2024.

The former Love Island star, 28, and the West Ham captain, 28, got married during an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family on Saturday. Since, Dani has been sharing on their intimate ceremony on social media, gushing over the highlights of her special day. And in a new photo shared on her Story on Sunday, Dani was swept off her feet by her new husband, and they embraced with a cheeky kiss.

Dani and Jarrod tied-the-knot in a lavish 'Bridgerton-themed' wedding ceremony, with the star stunning in elegant off-the-shoulder designer gown by Suzanne Neville for the outdoor ceremony. In a slew of snaps and clips Dani reposted on Instagram, many of her friends and loved ones danced the night away at the glitzy wedding. Georgia Steel stunned in an elegant yellow lace dress as she posed with her boyfriend, Ipswich Town footballer Harry Clarke. The star went onto share a cute image of the moment she embraced Dani as a newlywed, posting the snap on her Stories with a white heart emoji. One sweet image showed Dani's children, son Santiago, four, who she shares with ex Sammy Kimmence, and twins Summer and Star, two, who she shares with Jarrod, glancing out the window, while their grandfather Danny Dyer watched on. After Dani and Jarrod exchanged their vows, the couple were quick to indulge in their huge wedding cake, with the happy couple seen lifting a huge slice in a fun video, while guests watched on. With a live band to offer music at the reception, Dani switched her £10,000 wedding gown for a fun lace mini dress as guests danced the night away. White rose petals lined the aisle, with floral sculptures and candles creating a stunning backdrop which the bride and groom shared a kiss in front of. Taking place in the Buckinghamshire countryside, Dani and Jarrod were joined by 50 of their closest friends and relatives. She was walked down the aisle by her father Danny, who had promised his daughter that he would keep his speech clean. Days before the ceremony, Dani opened up about the touching role her dad Danny would play in her wedding to Jarrod. She told of how her father and beloved EastEnders star would walk her down the aisle in a moment that would be 'filled with emotion'. Speaking on their joint podcast, Live and Let Dyers, Dani revealed she was keeping her wedding dress a surprise from her dad until the big day to honour a special tradition. 'Have you not seen that first look when the dad sees their daughter in their dress and that? Oh, it's lovely,' she shared. 'Yeah, your dad's not meant to see it – it's a moment for the dad as well!' Dani has had a whirlwind few months, filled with two lavish hen parties and all the excitement of getting ready for her big day. Speaking to Heat magazine earlier this week, Dani said: 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever - that's the only thing I've not enjoyed.' Dani also revealed she will take on a double-barrell surname after the wedding, becoming Dyer-Bowen. She said: 'I am going to keep the Dyer - I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.' The wedding will undoubtedly be an emotional day for Dani's father Danny, with the reality star saying he and West Ham star Jarrod are very close. 'We've joked so many times that Jarrod is marrying the wrong Dani Dyer!' she said. The mother-of-three added she has really enjoyed the build up to the big day, which included a recent hen night in Ibiza with her pals. Sparing no expense with her lavish nuptials, the bride-to-be shared a glimpse of her wild celebrations on Instagram, which included a boozy brunch, a boat trip and a raucous night in the lavish nightclub Ushuaia. A source told The Sun that Dani really splashed the cash during her hen celebrations, including a VIP night at Ushuaia that cost at least £8,000. The insider said: 'Dani might have flown on a commercial flight but they splashed the cash when they landed. 'She spent Friday night at Ushuaia where they were on a VIP table with a minimum spend of £8,000. The next day they hired a boat to go around the coast before spending the rest of the time chilling at the Hard Rock hotel. 'Dani also had a boozy brunch at Beso Beach where her mates put on Jarrod masks and sang ABBA songs with her. 'They spent their last night at super club Hï Ibiza where they had a VIP booth. There were some sore heads when they touched down at City airport.' Meanwhile, Jarrod jetted off to Las Vegas for his stag do as he prepared to marry the Love Island star. Ahead of the stag, Dani admitted her fears over Jarrod's trip, with her dad Danny joking that there would be strippers. Discussing the plans for the hen and stag parties, the daughter and father duo butted heads over one racy topic. Explaining the timeline on their Live And Let Dyers podcast, Dani explained: 'I literally get back from my Hen on the Monday and then I get married on the Saturday. And if you can go, Jarrod gets back Thursday and then married Saturday.' That's when Danny cheered and shouted out: 'Strippers!,' much to his daughter's dismay. 'No, you're not,' insisted Dani, who went on to explain that at a different Hen she attended, they had a butler in the buff. Dani said: 'We had to draw him, we had to draw the naked man. It's different, it's so different. I don't care.' Not giving in, Danny quipped: 'It's sexism this, this is sexism at its height ladies and gentlemen.' The former Love Island star replied: 'It's not sexist, I'm just saying he was literally standing there in his apron and then you had to draw him. Then he turns around and straddles the chair.'
