Rugby star Ben Foden has married his girlfriend Jackie Belanoff Smith, following his split from ex-wife and The Saturdays star Una Healy one year ago.
The newlyweds have been dating for only two weeks and Ben took to Instagram to unveil the exciting news, sharing snaps from their wedding on a yacht in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
In a series of images from their intimate ceremony, Ben admitted that he was "swept off" his feet when he first met Jackie and that he received blessing from his ex-wife about the new journey in his life.

"This last year has been by far my toughest and most turbulent for a number of reasons that many of you I'm sure are aware of, in some way or another," he wrote.
"But I met a girl who seriously swept me off my feet and in a time of hardship showed me love, a deep devoted love.

"People will say we are mad or crazy or even fools, as @snackyjax and I had only been dating seriously for a little over 2 weeks before deciding to get married. But when someone like her comes in to your life, why would I wait?"
Ben continued: "The people who needed to know, such as close family and friends were told before anyone else and they are happy for me including my beautiful X wife @unahealy who I love even more for her blessing.
"Life is short and you only get one and it's worth living."
Ben and ex-wife Una have two children together – Aoife Belle, who was born in 2012, and Tadhg John, who was born in 2015.
