Rebekah Vardy pulled out all the stops for her husband Jamie Vardy as she threw him a surprise party celebrating his final appearance for Leicester City on Monday night.
The WAG, 43, gave a glimpse into the bash on Instagram as she made sure the footballer, 38, was celebrated in style among their closest friends and family.
She made sure no expense was spared despite being told earlier this month that she must pay out £1.4m to Coleen Rooney to cover her legal costs in the bitter Wagatha Christie case.
Jamie looked completely shocked as he walked into the venue, which was decorated with hundreds of blue and gold balloons and giant pictures of his achievements with the team.
Rebekah looked stunning in a figure hugging red dress and styled her long dark tresses in a neat ponytail as she hugged the footballer.
The TV personality had also created a personalised walk way into the party which showed the timeline of Jamie's success with his team, from winning titles to announcing his departure from the Foxes earlier this year.
Jamie was seen entering the venue to cheers as guests enjoyed champagne before he hugged one family member in his blue Vardy football shirt.
Guests were also treated to luxury party gift bags which had 'Goalden Goodbye... The end of an era - The start of a legacy' written across the front.
Rebekah penned: 'And of course I had to end it with a surprise Vardy party'.
Hours earlier the WAG appeared to put her recent drama behind her as she shared a sweet kiss with her husband Jamie at his football match.
The couple kissed after his team Leicester City emerged victorious in a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town.
The TV personality wore a smart navy blue suit to the game with a white shirt underneath, styling her hair in subtle waves.
She completed the look with minimal silver jewellery to match her large wedding ring and a pair of oversized sunglasses.
This comes after it emerged that Rebekah is selling her old designer bikinis on Vinted for a fraction of their original cost after being forced to shell out the vast sum to Coleen, 39.
The vast sum consists of £1,190,000 of Coleen's legal bill and a further £212,266 in assessment costs.

Coleen must also pay Rebekah a total of £135,097.50 in costs under the terms of court orders from 2024, which will be set off against what Rebekah must pay.
A source close to Rebekah told MailOnline on Tuesday: 'It's a huge relief for Rebekah that this long legal battle is now coming to an end.
'She's looking forward to putting the whole ordeal well and truly behind her.
'Now she's just focusing on the future. And there are some big plans coming up for her now that she just wants to get cracking with.'
The notorious showdown between the two women began in 2019 after Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking information about her to the press.
Coleen then attempted to prove Rebekah's guilt by sharing false information to Instagram, limiting the settings to just Rebekah, only for it to subsequently appear in The Sun newspaper.
Vardy was subsequently found guilty of leaking information in 2022 after denying the allegations and claiming her account was hacked.
Following the ruling, Coleen spoke of her 'relief' that the saga had finally come to an end but stressed that it the costs incurred could have been put to much better use.
She wrote: 'The ruling yesterday in my favour finally brings this claim to an end, it's a relief and brings closure for my family and I.
'Throughout this long process, I am grateful that the judgements have consistently gone my way.
'However, as I have always maintained this claim did not need to be made or run for as long as it did.
'The time and money should have been put to better use.
'I want to thank my legal representatives, management, friends and family for their guidance and constant support.
'Thanks also to the public and many well wishers who have been in touch with such kind messages.'
