On June 14th, 2025, model and interior designer Ellie Alderson married England and Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins in a romantic ceremony at the iconic Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France. The couple exchanged vows just 10 months after Watkins proposed during a holiday in Lake Como, shortly after his standout performance in the Euro 2024 semi-final.
The wedding was an intimate and heartfelt celebration, surrounded by close friends, family, and their two young children, Amara and Marley. Set against the Riviera’s timeless elegance, the day embodied the couple’s love story — one that began in 2018 and has grown alongside Watkins’ rise in English football.
