Emily Atack has announced she has married Alistair Garner in an “absolutely perfect” ceremony.

The Rivals star, 36, welcomed her son, Barney James Garner, with her scientist partner in June 2024.

Atack revealed she and Garner had become husband and wife this weekend, sharing a post on Instagram that read: “Yesterday we officially got married among close family and friends. It was absolutely perfect.”

“I can’t believe we get to do all that again in a few weeks (sic) time,” Atack added.

She shared a selection of photos from their wedding, including her and her husband walking through a crowd of guests as they were showered in confetti.

Another showed the couple holding glasses of wine and posing in front of a car while laughing and smiling, and in the final image they were kissing.

Ahead of her wedding, Atack revealed that children would not be invited to the day.

Speaking on The Romesh Ranganathan Show podcast, she said: “We’re being kind to our friends and making sure that people don’t have to worry too much about paying for lots of things, but we have said no kids at the wedding, no children.”

She added: “I’m surprised by how many people are happy about that. I thought I’d get a lot of people kicking off.”

The actress announced her engagement in July last year, sharing a photo of the couple cuddling, which she captioned: “It’s Friday, I’m in love” alongside three ring emojis.

When sharing news of her son’s birth a year earlier, Atack posted on Instagram: “We have a beautiful son. Barney James Garner. All my dreams have come true.”

Atack stars as Sarah Stratton in the award-winning Disney+ show Rivals, which is based on Jilly Cooper’s novels and follows the high-stakes world of British television with the backdrop of the 1980s Cotswolds countryside.

She rose to fame as a teenager playing Charlotte Hinchcliffe on The Inbetweeners and appeared on reality shows including Dancing on Ice and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

Her mother, Kate Robbins, rose to fame in the early 1980s, starring in the ITV soap opera Crossroads and finishing third in the 1980 Eurovision Song Contest as part of the group Prima Donna.
