Marie Claire<\/a> magazine. <\/p>\n\u201cWe never wanted a big, public, showy wedding,\u201d she told the publication.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen so much of my life has been public, it was really nice to not have this shared or over-shared,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted it just for us and the family.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Australian supermodel, who rose to fame at the tender age of 18 when she won a Perth modelling competition, also shared details on how the couple managed to keep it quiet for so long. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe told them at dinner the night before,\u201d Gale explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a lot of, \u2018What? No way!\u2019, But it made it more special.\u201d <\/p>\n
Gale, who started dating Hampson in 2010, has previously discussed how planning a wedding just wasn\u2019t high on the priorities list for the couple, who have two children together, son River, 11, and daughter Rosie, eight.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole lot seems like a lot of work for me. I\u2019m just exhausted thinking about it,\u201d she told the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, last year. <\/p>\n
The pair got engaged in 2017, with Gale explaining it was \u201cmore important for me to start a family\u201d than become engaged.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut then there was a little thing where I was like \u2026 everyone else is getting [engaged]. Is he actually going to ask?<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought, he hasn\u2019t even asked and I was getting a little bit funny about that, which is really silly now to think about.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was more because we had River, and we had Rosie \u2026 and it felt like they were the Hampsons and I was Miss Gale over here. I kind of wanted to unite more.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen he asked, and I was overjoyed. Then we thought, the kids are here. Let\u2019s wait til they\u2019re old enough to be involved [in a wedding] and remember it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gale told Marie Claire the couple quietly wed on Vomo island in Fiji, stating: \u201cThe only reason why we\u2019re sharing it is because it has been a year. We\u2019ve kept this private because that\u2019s who we are as a couple. Extremely low-key. We never wanted a big public, showy wedding. All we wanted was a beautiful, quiet, simple intimate ceremony somewhere that we loved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans have since shared messages of congratulations, describing it as \u201cbeautiful news\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest congratulations,\u201d wrote one. <\/p>\n
\u201cHappy one year anniversary,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A model has revealed she secretly tied-the-knot with her former AFL star fiance \u2013 seven years after the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-376449","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
