Love Island stars Molly Smith and Tom Clare have married.<\/p>\n
The couple made the announcement on Thursday as they posted a photo on Instagram sharing a kiss, with confetti thrown around them.<\/p>\n
Smith, 32, wore a white, short-sleeved mini dress with a pillbox hat and Clare, 26, wore a black suit and tie for the ceremony.<\/p>\n
She captioned the photo: “Just married” with a ring emoji.<\/p>\n
A second photo showed the couple revealing their wedding rings and was captioned: “Husband and wife”.<\/p>\n
\n
The pair met on Love Island: All Stars in early 2024, where they won the series and the \u00a350,000 prize.<\/p>\n
Smith, a model from Manchester, originally took part in series six, while Clare, a semi-professional footballer from Barnsley, was a contestant on series nine.<\/p>\n
They received well wishes from fellow Love Islander Lucinda Strafford and former The Only Way Is Essex star Jess Wright, who both wrote: “Congratulations”.<\/p>\n
The couple got engaged after Clare proposed during a candlelit evening on the beach in Dubai in September last year.<\/p>\n
Clare previously told The Sun their wedding would be an “intimate” gathering.<\/p>\n
He said: “I just want people at our wedding that I care about and that care about me and that I can ring and I know they\u2019ll be there.<\/p>\n
“They\u2019re the only people I want there.<\/p>\n
“So yeah, it\u2019s going to be an intimate wedding, but it\u2019s going to be a big celebration.”<\/p>\n
He also said fellow Love Island star Casey O\u2019Gorman would serve as best man after they became close friends during series nine of the ITV show.<\/p>\n
