Former Irish model and TV presenter ties the knot in low-key New York courthouse ceremony
Ruth O'Neill and new hubby Christian Trautwein are set to wed again in Italy later this year.
Former Irish model and TV presenter Ruth O'Neill has tied the knot at a low-key New York courthouse ceremony.
The 37-year-old wed her fiancé Christian Trautwein on Friday ahead of their luxurious destination wedding in Italy this coming September.
'5.23.25 NYC made it official!,' she captioned a video of herself and her new husband as they were showered with confetti following their nuptials.
Ruth wore a stunning white blazer dress with white pointed shoes.
She paired the look with a small bouquet of pink and white peonies and orchids.
They celebrated the ceremony with a family dinner at Il Buco, an Italian restaurant on Bond Street.
Her followers rushed to the comments to congratulate the bride and groom.
'Congratulations!!! ,' Rosanna Davidson gushed.
'Gorgeous!!!! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️' her former Xposé co-host Cassie Stokes added.
'Awwwww bihgest (sic) congrats,' stylist Courtney Smyth said.
O'Neill moved back to New York City in 2019, after leaving TV3 in 2017.
The presenter worked on the magazine show Xposé after returning to Ireland from America, where she had lived since she was 22.
She moved stateside to work with E! News as an entertainment reporter, interviewing stars on the red carpets of LA. 'There wasn't really much of a plan. I mean, there was no plan,' the Castleknock woman previously told Irish Independent of her big move.
