Jamie Oliver has renewed his marriage vows to wife Jools, 23 years after tying the knot.
The couple, who have been together since they were 18, have five children together, including Poppy Honey, 20, Daisy Boo, 19, Petal Blossom, 13, Buddy Bear, 11, and River Rocket, five.
The 47-year-old celebrity chef shared an intimate carousel of family photos on Instagram after saying “yes” for a second time in the Maldives.
For the special occasion, Jamie looked dapper in a blue blazer and matching trousers teamed with a crisp white shirt and flower detailing on the lapels.
Jools, 48, looked elegant in a strapless wedding dress with ruffles and a thigh-high slit.

Alongside the photos, Jamie wrote: “Tomorrow together me and @joolsoliver got married again! Yep After 23 years together we thought it would be a special moment to celebrate our vows renewal before the kids all leave the nest.
Her brunette tresses were styled straight with a white bow holding her hair in place while she accessorised with pearl earrings.
She opted for a bronze makeup palette that accentuated her natural features, along with a touch of nude lipstick.
Alongside the photos, Jamie wrote: “Tomorrow together me and @joolsoliver got married again! Yes, after 23 years together we thought it would be a special moment to celebrate our vows renewal before the kids all leave the nest.
“It was really special, fun and romantic, and the words in the ceremony made more sense after coming together so far.
“It seems like a blink of an eye since the first wedding which we have kept very secret apart from the paparazzi at the village church which we thought would be a happy and joyful moment to share with you all this Easter.
“We have always dreamed of going to the Maldives and it was exactly what you dreamed it would be, just amazing! A big thank you to the whole team at @discoversoneva for blowing our minds and making this moment so special and unforgettable, love guys Jamie x.
Jamie later shared more snaps from the ceremony on his Instagram Stories, including a selfie with his wife and daughters, which he captioned “My Queens.”
He also posted a photo with his two sons, Buddy and River, where he revealed his eldest son had acted as best man.

Jools also shared her own selection of snaps on her social media, writing:
“So wonderful the first time we did it again. What an incredible memory that is so happy, emotional, romantic and beautiful. Seeing the little faces of the kids made the whole experience so special. I could only have dreamed of being on this magical vacation. Thanks very much. Discover Soneva.
“Your care, attention to detail and incredible kindness made everything so special it almost feels like a dream xxx
Jools and Jamie began dating as teenagers and were married on 24 June 2000 in the chef’s home village of Rickling, Essex.
Speaking about renewing her vows in 2019, Jools said: “Next year we will be married 20 years and we will marry again but do things differently – outside and barefoot.

Looking back on her first walk down the aisle, she recalled, “Our first dance was to Dusty Springfield’s I Only Want To Be With You but Jamie doesn’t like to dance so I dropped him off. I was in my element!’
Chef Jamie, who hails from Essex, reportedly has a net worth in excess of £240million.
He recently insisted the humiliating collapse of his Italian restaurant chain, which has seen 1,000 people lose their jobs, was just a “minor blip”.
The TV chef’s comment comes as he revealed he was returning to the restaurant game, opening a new grocery supply chain and insisting: “We’ll be going back.”
Jamie’s Italian went bust in May 2019 after plummeting profits and absentee customers, closing 22 stores and cutting about 1,000 jobs.
The spectacular fall of Jamie’s business empire left the Italian food giant in debt around £83million.
Speaking on Friday about the collapse of his beloved restaurant chain, the TV personality said: “It’s happening and I would really call it a little slip in the vision and in the dream. A very painful one. But definitely, I’m better for it.
“We had 13 great years and learned a lot. I was a young man when I started, now I’m much older and wiser.’
Asked whether or not he has learned from the closure of his Italian restaurant chain, he said: “Yeah, sure, and every other failure I’ve had – that’s about 50 percent. But I’ve never been rounder, I’ve never been more experienced.”

But Oliver is hoping to cook up a storm with his latest project, Pasta Dreams.
Starting with two pop-up spaces – in London’s Soho and Paris – he aims to roll out the service at a rate of two locations per month in London and other UK cities.
And the chef added he’s also hoping to revitalize his collection of restaurants.
“We’re really well positioned to go back and we will go again, and I will go back to restaurants as soon as I can,” he said.
‘It’s in my blood, it’s really all I know. It was never a size issue, it was the rents and prices that really got us and the decline of the high street.’
