“We started together as a young couple and now we are here with our four children leading us down the aisle. I feel like the happiest person alive,” Abbey told Hello! Magazine.
“We wanted to renew our vows on our 10th anniversary but with lockdown we couldn’t do that… Pete is quite romantic at heart; He’s definitely earned brownie points for years to come.’
Peter gushed: “Abbey looked amazing and even after 11 years I still got butterflies when she walked down the aisle, it was a stunning island but Ab stole the show – I’m a lucky man.”

Peter and Abbey started dating in 2006 but split briefly during the European Cup, with the footballer releasing a statement at the time.

“In light of this, I want to make the situation absolutely clear: Abbey and I were in the very early stages of a relationship which I decided to end a few weeks ago for a number of reasons and have informed Abbey accordingly of my decision.’
But it wasn’t long before they were back together, and the couple are now parents to four children.
