The couple, who got engaged in 2021, first married in a Muslim ceremony in January 2022 and signed a contract to ensure they were legally married under Islamic law.

The couple  had their second legal ceremony at The Londoner Hotel in September last year.

According to reports, the wedding was held in the sprawling gardens of Villa Balbiano, a location so impressive it featured in the 2021 film "House of Gucci."
