Samantha Armytage shares exciting wedding news following split from husband Richard Lavender: 'Married!'
Samantha Armytage has taken to social media to share some exciting wedding news.
The TV personality, who is set to host the much-anticipated Channel Nine series The Golden Bachelor this year, posted a picture to Instagram on Sunday to congratulate her brother Charlie and his now-wife Alexandra Dewar on their nuptials.
'Congratulations to my brother Charlie, & Alex.. Married!' the 48-year-old captioned the post.
'Such a happy day/couple. Isn't love fabulous?!' she added.
In the picture, the newlyweds looked lovingly at each other as they walked hand in hand in their elegant wedding attire.
Earlier this year, Samantha revealed she had become a proud aunt when Charlie and Alex welcomed a daughter.
The television host posed alongside her newborn baby niece, whom she was all too proud to introduce to her fans on Instagram.
'Meet my newest niece, Sophie Armytage,' she wrote in her caption.
Samantha separated from equestrian businessman Richard Lavender, 61, on the eve of their fourth wedding anniversary in December last year.
She started dating Richard in April 2019 and they announced their engagement in June 2020.
The couple then tied the knot at his 40-hectare property in the picturesque Southern Highlands in NSW on New Year's Eve of that same year.
But late last year, sources revealed their split exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, with Samantha then confirming that they had 'amicably' gone their separate ways.
'Yes, Richard and I have separated. All breakups are hard, but it's somewhat lessened by the fact it's amicable and we wish the best for each other,' Samantha said.
'I appreciate you respecting our privacy. I won't be making any further comment.'
