Ronnie O'Sullivan has married Laila Rouass just 10 months after they broke up.
Rouass herself posted to Instagram to reveal the pair had tied the knot, explaining that "Venice was booked", so the pair decided Cable Street in London would be suitable enough.
‌
They have been engaged since 2013, with O'Sullivan getting down on one knee for the popular actress. They had separated in September 2024, and it was apparently "for good", but now they've committed to a long-term future together.
‌
A friend of the pair told The Sun last year that they had been heading in different directions. O'Sullivan was playing for big money in China and Saudi Arabia, while Rouass had her own ambitions with her acting career.
However, it was stated at the time that there was "still a lot of love between them", leaving the door open for rekindling in the future, and that has now come to fruition.
"Palestinians have taught me so much, most importantly to honour human connection, make love your motivator and to keep refreshing it. So l suppose after almost a year break...this was one way of pressing the refresh button," wrote Rouass, star of Footballers' Wives, on Instagram.

"Ok... so it wasn't Venice...that was fully booked.
"It was Cable Street in Shadwell where I was born and where my heart belongs. It's where in 1936, local activists along with the Jewish community gathered together to demonstrate against the planned fascist BUF marchers.
"The Battle of Cable Street was used by my father as an example of how a community rooted in justice, can bring change...that we all have a duty to fight for the freedom and rights of others."
‌
The newly-weds are reportedly keen on moving to Dubai together, being just a two-hour flight to O'Sullivan's snooker academy in Saudi Arabia.
'They have been back together for a while," said The Sun's source.
'The time apart gave them time to think about what they want and what is important to them — and that is being together. Ronnie is moving to the Middle East and Laila is going with him.

'They've talked about living in Dubai, which is just a two-hour flight from where Ronnie has his snooker academy in Saudi Arabia.
'They have had their issues in the past but Ronnie and Laila have worked through it and seem really happy again.
'The people who know them think they make a great couple and just want them to live a happy, quiet life.'
