Meanwhile Ned cut a cool figure in a black suit which he wore over a crisps white shirt with bolo tie.

Ned popped the question to Hayley in Venice in April 2023, before going on to welcome their first child a year later.

Confirming their engagement last year, Ned wrote: ‘Lucky me. Arrived in Venice at 10am, around midday the love of my life and I got engaged in the kitchen of this strange apartment surrounded by ducks, with a bloke outside the window murdering “My Way” on the accordion.
‘A perfect start to the rest of our lives together. I’d never had any interest in getting married… until I met this extraordinary woman. Happy as a clam.’
While speaking to the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden, Hayley described Ned’s low-key proposal, recalling: ‘My fiancé was in his pants in the kitchen, and there was an accordion playing outside our window — which was timed perfectly but not planned.
‘We had rented this Airbnb that had lots of shelves with porcelain ducks on them, so it was quite a surreal set-up.
‘I said to him, “Venice was my first most precious destination”, and I’ve always had a weird connection with it. So, he took me there, and it happened there.’
Hayley, was first linked to Ned shortly after she was said to have split from co-star Tom Cruise for the second time.
The London-based artist’s Instagram bio reads that he ‘doesn’t eat animals’ and that he has been ‘alcohol & drug free for over a decade’.
