Top British tennis star Katie Boulter secretly married her fellow professional player fiance Alex de Minaur in a low key and intimate family church ceremony today.
It was game, set and match for the loved up happy couple who were both defeated in early rounds while competing at this year's Wimbledon tournament. They got hitched in a charming Leicestershire village near to where Katie, 29, grew up and where her parents still live, the Daily Mail can reveal.
Local residents, who had heard about the hush hush nuptials, told how they had been sworn to secrecy but a few hovered around the church to catch a glimpse of the famous bride and groom. The wedding took place before a small congregation of family members only at the same time the Men's final at Wimbledon in south west London was underway between reigning champion Italian Jannik Sinner and German Alexander Zverev.
Katie, 29, dazzled in a long white gown with her blonde hair swept up as she tied the knot with her partner of six years, Australia's number one player Alex, 27, and ranked world number six. She arrived at the church with her husband-to-be, smartly dressed in a black suit, white shirt and bow tie, in a black Porsche Carrera which he had been driving and she was front seat passenger.
