Brian McFadden smiles in wedding photos as he marries for third time
Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden has married his long-term partner, Danielle Parkinson, in a beautiful beachside ceremony. The 45-year-old gave fans a glimpse of their special day by sharing a carousel of photos on Instagram, featuring himself, his new wife and their daughter, Ruby Jean.
The newlyweds beamed with joy as they posed in beautiful matching white outfits. They exchanged their vows in a stunning beachside ceremony, prompting fans to flood social media wishing the couple congratulations.
One fan commented on Brain's post: "So happy for you both – here's to laughter, love, and a forever kind of harmony," while another stated: "Awh congratulations to you both absolutely beautiful wishing you many happy years together."
A third wrote: "Congratulations to you both, you all look wonderful. Hope your day was perfect," while a fourth penned: "Huge congratulations to you both. wishing you both all the love & happiness possible."
The star met Danielle Parkinson back in 2016 and asked her to marry him three years later in 2019, the Mirror reports. According to reports the couple wanted to get married sooner but the pandemic caused them to postpone their wedding.
The couple had experienced two heartbreaking miscarriages before welcoming their daughter in 2021. Brian also shares two daughters with his ex-wife Kerry Katona - Molly Marie, 23 and Lilly-Sue, 21.
While Kerry and Brian broke up over two decades ago, Kerry previously gave an insight into their relationship stating she 'gets on well' with Brian's new partner.
The Sun stated, Kerry previously said: "I get on really well with his fiancée. I think I might have a girl crush on her. I always go off of what my girls say for a stepmum, and she's the best stepmum."
She continued: "On Mother's Day, I sent her a message. I went, Happy Mother's Day, Danielle. I think she's lovely and they've got a beautiful little girl, Ruby. I wish them nothing but joy and happiness."
Before marrying Danielle, Brian previously wed Irish model and TV personality Vogue Williams. The couple tied the knot in a glamorous ceremony in Florence back in 2012, captivating the attention of fans with their high-profile romance. However, after three years together, they separated in 2015 and officially finalised their divorce in 2017.
Shortly after, Vogue met Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews while filming Channel 4's celebrity competition, The Jump, in early 2017. Their friendship quickly blossomed and they got engaged in January 2018, marrying just six months later in June.
While Brian moved on with Danielle, a former heptathlete turned PE teacher, and the pair have been together since 2016. The couple were introduced by mutual friends Cole Paige, their connection grew quickly and now they appear more in love than ever.
By December 2019, after three years together, Brian proposed to Danielle calling her his "soulmate." Danielle, whom Brian has praised as the "best mother, friend, partner, teammate and soul‑mate", often shares glimpses of their joyful home life with her followers online, from family skiing trips in the French Alps to Disneyland Paris.
The couple has been open about their journey to parenthood, including their experience with IVF. Danielle described the process as "gruelling but worth every second."
In May 2021, Danielle gave birth to their daughter, Ruby Jean, via emergency c-section. Ruby Jean's arrival marked a turning point in their lives with Brian calling the first time he held his newborn "the greatest moment of my life."

Family of Southport attack victim Bebe King say her ‘light and spark' live on a year after her death
The family of Southport attack victim Bebe King has said her "light, care and spark" live on as it approaches a year since her death. The six-year-old was killed along with Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, when Axel Rudakubana launched his knife attack on the Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town on 29 July last year. On Monday 28 July, a post on the Instagram account of Bebe's Hive referenced the youngster's 'favourite musical' Wicked with the quote: 'Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.' Bebe's Hive was set up by her family to provide support for grieving children through creativity and connection. The post, which appeared to have been written by Bebe's mother Lauren, referred to her as 'my mini me' and 'her dad's soulmate'. It said: 'It's time for us to take the space we need. To feel, to breathe, to hold each other close. To just be. 'To be able to create something so purposeful, so needed, has given us a strength we didn't know we had. A reason. A focus. 'We love and thank every single person who has helped us carry this. 'I feel her with me every day and that feeling is what keeps us going. 'Her light, her care, her spark – it lives on, and we'll continue it for as long as we can. 'To our incredible family and friends – thank you for keeping us afloat, while trying to keep yourselves above water. Thank you for loving Bebe so deeply and for riding this forever journey with us. 'To our amazing community – I don't think you realise what you've done. To everyone further, we also thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 'Your kindness has saved us. 'To Elsie and Alice, we never had the chance to meet you, but we feel like we know you. Your light shines so brightly through your parents, and we're proud to walk alongside them.' In a reference to the Taylor Swift song Bejeweled, the post went on to say: 'Our girls' energy will continue to shimmer. 'And to every brave child, every adult, every family whose lives were changed forever that day – we see you and we're sending you so much love.' A video of Bebe dancing and playing with a bubble machine accompanied the caption, along with photos of her. Sefton Council has asked people not to lay flowers to mark the anniversary of the attack but instead to consider donating to causes including Bebe's Hive, as well as Elsie's Story and Alice's Wonderdance, which were set up in the victim's memories. A three-minute silence will be held in the town at 3pm on Tuesday 29 July.
