Brian McFadden, the beloved former Westlife singer, has shared a glimpse into his magical wedding day with longtime partner Danielle Parkinson, much to the delight of fans and well-wishers. The ceremony, held on a stunning beach, was a celebration of love, family, and years spent building a life together.
The 45-year-old musician married Danielle in an intimate yet breathtaking coastal event surrounded by close friends, family, and their adorable daughter, Ruby Jean. The couple, who first met in 2016 and got engaged in December 2019, finally exchanged vows after several delays caused by the global pandemic.
McFadden took to Instagram to share a series of heartfelt and romantic photos from the big day. In the images, the newlyweds are seen dressed in chic white ensembles, raising glasses of champagne, and soaking in the beauty of their seaside setting. Their joy is palpable, and the presence of their little girl made the moment even more precious.
Ruby Jean, born in 2021, brought additional light and happiness to the family’s journey, which had previously been marked by two heartbreaking miscarriages. Her arrival was a blessing that completed their small but loving family unit.
Fans quickly flooded the comments section with warm messages and congratulations. One supporter wrote: “Awh congratulations to you both absolutely beautiful, wishing you many happy years together.” Reality TV star Gemma Collins also chimed in with a heartfelt “Congratulations” followed by a cascade of red heart emojis. Another fan added: “Congratulations to you both. What a beautiful family—and you deserve this happiness x.”
Danielle, who once worked as a high school PE teacher, and Brian were introduced through mutual friend and singer Cole Paige back in 2016. From the start, the chemistry between them was undeniable, and they soon became inseparable. Despite initially planning to marry earlier, the couple chose patience and resilience over rushing amid uncertain times, ultimately celebrating their union when it felt right.
Brian is also a proud father to two daughters, Molly Marie (23) and Lilly-Sue (21), from his previous marriage to Kerry Katona. Interestingly, the ex-couple maintains a remarkably amicable relationship, especially for the sake of their children.
Kerry herself has spoken highly of Danielle, praising her kindness and the positive impact she’s had on Brian’s life and the lives of his daughters. “I get on really well with his fiancée. I think I might have a girl crush on her,” Kerry once shared affectionately.
She continued, “I always go off of what my girls say for a stepmum, and she’s the best stepmum.” Kerry further revealed that she sent Danielle a Mother’s Day message, writing: “Happy Mother’s Day, Danielle.” She concluded with a sincere wish for the couple: “I wish them nothing but joy and happiness.”
As Brian and Danielle embark on this new chapter together, their love story serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful moments come after waiting, growing, and choosing each other time and again.
