The newlyweds are Home and Away favourite Lukas Radovich and his long-term partner, professional netball player Liam Forcadilla.

Lukas, best known for playing Ryder Jackson on the Aussie soap, tied the knot with his partner in a lavish ceremony at The Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney on Friday, with the venue transformed into a romantic oasis for the big day.

A host of Home and Away stars from Summer Bay turned out to celebrate, including current cast members Emily Weir and Shane Withington, along with former favourites Courtney Miller and Sophie Dillman.

Lukas and Liam also shared shared a sweet video of their first dance from their big day.

The loved-up pair were seen holding each other close and sharing a kiss as silver confetti rained down around them, swaying to Taylor Swift’s “Lover” in front of a cheering crowd.

“You can hear the love in the room,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post — and fans couldn’t agree more.

 

The grooms looked seriously dapper for their big day.

Lukas opted for a sharp double-breasted jacket over a cream tuxedo shirt, finishing the look with a classic black bow tie and a single white carnation pinned to his lapel.

Liam, meanwhile, matched the timeless vibe in a crisp white jacket and studded shirt, accessorising with a sleek black bow tie.

Lukas previously opened up about his journey with his sexuality, revealing he was still finding his feet while acting on the soap.

The star, who hard-launched his relationship with now-husband Liam in 2023 after three years of dating, admitted he kept his personal life out of the spotlight during his time on the show.

While Lukas never hid his sexuality, he told The Daily Telegraph he was simply “coming to terms” with it during his early twenties.

"I definitely think when I was in my young twenties, I was still discovering myself — now I feel comfortable enough to be able to talk about it,” he shared.

Reflecting on his journey, Lukas added: "The last five years have been quite a big journey for me; one, because of the show, but also coming into my own sense of self — just being comfortable, I guess."

Lukas said he came out to friends and family before joining Home and Away, but kept things low-key in public due to his naturally shy personality.

"I’m quite introverted, so it takes a while for me to warm up to talking about things. And then after that, it just wasn’t an issue,” he added.

Now, happily married and proud, fans say Lukas is living his truth — and they couldn’t be happier for him.

Flooding the comment section, one fan wrote: "AWWW congratulations guys what a beautiful wedding."

 

Another added: "Absolutely STUNNING!! Congratulations Liam & Lukas 😍 Looked like it was a magical day."

A third penned: "Congratulations to both off you. Miss you in Home and Away, but love it to see you so very happy."
