Ronnie O'Sullivan and Laila Rouass have married, ten months after the couple ended their on-off relationship.
The pair officially tied the knot in a low-key London ceremony after 13 years together, hitting the 'refresh button' with the nuptials after rekindling their relationship earlier this year.
They went their separate ways in 2024 but got back together in January of this year, and are reportedly planning to relocate to Dubai for a 'fresh start'.
Taking to Instagram, the Footballers' Wives star announced their union by sharing an image of herself and the snooker star smiling outside St George's Town Hall in Shadwell, East London, covered in confetti.
Laila, 54, who is of Moroccan and Indian heritage, looked every inch the blushing bride in an elegant silk dress and black cowboy boots as she cuddled up to her new husband Ronnie.
She also sported a traditional Palestinian scarf, known as the Keffiyeh, in a show of support for the country, which she reiterated in a caption after previously calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Laila shared this message alongside her post on social media
She penned: 'Palestinians have taught me so much, most importantly to honour human connection, make love your motivator and to keep refreshing it.
'So l suppose after almost a year break...this was one way of pressing the refresh button. Ok... so it wasn't Venice... that was fully booked.
'It was Cable Street in Shadwell where I was born and where my heart belongs. It's where in 1936, local activists along with the Jewish community gathered together to demonstrate against the planned fascist BUF marchers.
'The Battle of Cable Street was used by my father as an example of how a community rooted in justice, can bring change...that we all have a duty to fight for the freedom and rights of others.
'The East End is the land of the immigrants. Its vibrancy, diversity and working class roots is something I treasure.
'I was born there, I was educated there, today I was married there and I will be buried there because my roots are my roots. Free Palestine. Mrs O'Sullivan.'
First to congratulate the newlyweds was TV presenter, Lisa Snowdon, who wrote: 'Ahhhh congratulations guys!'
Followed by former Loose Women panellist, Saira Khan, who stated: 'Huge congratulations sister x'
Denise Van Outen gushed: 'Congratulations you two,' while Denise Welch added: 'Thrilled for you both.'
She also posed another sweet smiling photograph of themselves on the day as they planned a 'refresh'

It is the seven-time World Snooker Champion's first trip down the aisle, but Laila previously married Abdeslam Rouass in 1990.
The exes divorced in 2003, and he was later jailed for fraud.
Recently, The Sun reported that Ronnie and Laila are hoping for a 'clean break' by ditching the UK for a new life in Dubai.
They also alleged Ronnie, 49, is selling his £2million home in Chigwell, Essex, and will relocate to the UAE with Laila.
A source claimed Ronnie and Laila have been back together 'for a while'.
They added: 'The time apart gave them time to think about what they want and what is important to them — and that is being together.'
'Ronnie is moving to the Middle East and Laila is going with him. They've talked about living in Dubai, which is just a two-hour flight from where Ronnie has his snooker academy in Saudi Arabia,' they went on.
'They have had their issues in the past but Ronnie and Laila have worked through it and seem really happy again.'
Back in December, the Footballer's Wives star confirmed reports that the couple had decided to part ways for good after previously separating and rekindling things in 2022.

At the time, Laila first broke her silence on her split from Ronnie, telling the Mirror: 'I am going to keep that under wraps for now until there is something to speak about.
'Break ups can strip you down to your essence,' she wrote. 'I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It's normal, don't beat yourself up.
'One thing I'm conscious of not doing is trying to get back where I was. No, I'm discovering who I've become.
'I've gone through various emotions... hurt, pain, anger but what I've realised about anger is that it's bottomless.'
Laila's comments came after the couple put their £2million Epping Forest home up for sale.
Images showed the luxury interior including Ronnie's favourite portrait of Raquel Welch on a crucifix which adorned the wall of a staircase.
Despite the smart white carpeting and plush decor, Ronnie could never persuade his ex-love to agree to install a snooker table, friends revealed to MailOnline.
One said: 'They had some very happy years there, Ronnie was successful in his snooker and Laila was in some great TV dramas like Footballers Wives and Life isn't all Ha Ha Hee Hee.

'They are selling the house together. It's all agreed and should work out financially without any problems. Ronnie has a new place and has got himself a snooker table there.'
Suggestions that the couple's famously on-off relationship was back in trouble emerged in September - but then days later Ronnie, was seen putting the bins out in his Y-fronts and slippers at their house.
The couple were also photographed together in the days that followed - but they then accepted their relationship had run its course and split up - before later reuniting.
Laila's relationship with Ronnie first blossomed in 2011 after the snooker champ called her up to view his house that was recently put on the market and was given a tour by his father Ronnie O'Sullivan Sr.
They went on to have a relationship that lasted more than a decade and had planned to wed before breaking up - though they have now finally tied the knot.
In an old interview, Laila previously explained how they had first got together: ''It happened by accident.
'I was shown around Ronnie's house by his father, who told his son about meeting me. Ronnie called the estate agent, a friend of mine, and asked me out via her.
'When he said he was a snooker player I said, 'yeah but what does he do for a living?' I'd never heard of him because sport doesn't interest me at all, although Ronnie's won me over to snooker.'

They confirmed their whirlwind romance by getting engaged in the following year.
Speaking of their long engagement, Laila, who has a seven-year-old daughter called Inez from a previous relationship, told The Mirror in 2019: 'I'd have to really gear myself up for a wedding.
'At the moment we've put it on the back burner and we're enjoying our time so there's no rush.'
However, the couple split up for the first time after a decade together with Laila making the announcement to shocked fans in 2022.
'After nearly ten years of love and memories, Ronnie & I have parted ways,' she wrote on Instagram in February 2022. 'Peace & love to you all. Laila X.'
However, that separation did not last long and by April, Laila was spotted wearing her engagement ring once again.
The following month, the pair confirmed their reconciliation, before jetting off on holiday.
The actress said last year that open communication brought them back together after their first split.

Laila took to Instagram to speak out for the first time after her split from the snooker legend, writing that 'break-ups can strip you down'
Laila said: 'We found our way back, we just worked it out. Back when I announced it, we hadn't been together for almost eight months at that time.
'Talking is so underrated. If you can sit down and say how you feel and what you want when you get older that is much easier to say too.'
