Molly Smith and Tom Clare have officially said “I do” — marking a beautiful new chapter in one of Love Island’s most celebrated modern-day romances.

The Love Island All Stars winners are now husband and wife after tying the knot in an intimate legal ceremony at Stockport Town Hall in Manchester, less than a year after announcing their engagement.

Molly, 32, shared the joyful news with fans on Thursday, posting a romantic photograph of herself kissing her new husband outside the registry office.

Her caption was simple, but said everything.

“Husband and wife.”

For fans who have followed their relationship since they unexpectedly found love on Love Island All Stars in 2024, the moment felt like the perfect ending to a reality-TV romance that has continued to flourish long after the cameras stopped rolling.

But there is another exciting twist.

This intimate ceremony is only the beginning.

The newlyweds are reportedly preparing for a much bigger second wedding celebration in Spain later this summer, where they will be joined by family and friends for what promises to be an unforgettable occasion.

Molly stuns in a chic white minidress

For the legal ceremony, Molly opted for an effortlessly glamorous bridal look.

The former Love Island star looked radiant in a stylish white minidress as she posed alongside Tom following their vows.

Rather than choosing a traditional floor-length wedding gown for the registry-office ceremony, Molly embraced a modern, understated look that perfectly suited the intimate occasion.

Tom looked equally delighted as the couple shared a romantic kiss after officially becoming Mr and Mrs Clare.

One particularly sweet photograph, shared by Tom’s best man and fellow Love Island star Casey O’Gorman, showed the newlyweds proudly displaying their wedding bands.

The images quickly prompted an outpouring of congratulations from friends and familiar faces, including Jess Wright, Lucinda Strafford and Alex Bowen.

For Molly and Tom, however, the legal ceremony appears to be just the first chapter of their wedding celebrations.

Their larger celebration in Spain is still to come.

From Love Island winners to husband and wife

Their wedding marks an extraordinary milestone in a romance that began in front of millions of television viewers.

Molly and Tom met while appearing on Love Island All Stars in 2024.

Molly’s arrival in the villa immediately caused a stir because her former boyfriend Callum Jones was also taking part in the series.

Molly and Callum had originally met while filming the winter edition of Love Island in 2020 and went on to have a long-term relationship before eventually separating.

Her return to the villa therefore came with plenty of emotional history.

But few could have predicted what happened next.

Molly formed a connection with footballer Tom Clare, and their relationship steadily developed throughout the series.

The pair eventually won Love Island All Stars together — and unlike many reality-TV romances, their relationship continued to grow stronger outside the villa.

They moved forward with their lives together, built a home and increasingly spoke openly about their future.

Then, in September 2025, Tom proposed during a romantic trip to Dubai.

Molly said yes.

Now, less than a year later, they are officially married.

The hilarious reality behind their wedding budget

While the photographs from their legal ceremony may look effortlessly romantic, Molly and Tom have also been refreshingly open about the less glamorous side of planning a major wedding.

And that includes the bills.

Ahead of their celebrations, Molly jokingly offered some rather cheeky advice to other brides dealing with wedding costs.

“When you get a bill through, just pay it and don’t tell your husband because what you don’t know, won’t hurt,” she joked.

Tom, meanwhile, revealed one expense that left him particularly shocked: fairy lights.

According to the footballer, Molly wanted to spend around £4,000 on the decorative lighting.

Tom made it very clear that he thought the price was extraordinary.

Molly, however, defended the decision, insisting the lights would make the venue look beautiful.

She also joked that when Tom continued questioning the expense, she simply paid for them from their joint account.

Despite the playful disagreement, Molly stressed that they were working within a wedding budget and were not simply spending without limits.

It offered fans a funny glimpse behind the polished photographs — and showed that even reality-TV stars can find themselves debating surprisingly expensive wedding decorations.

Ibiza, Las Vegas — and now “I do”

The couple certainly made the most of the build-up to married life.

Ahead of the wedding, Tom celebrated his stag do in Las Vegas, while Molly headed to Ibiza for her hen celebrations.

Now, after months of planning, the pair have officially completed the most important part: becoming legally married.

Their Spain celebration later this summer is expected to bring together the people closest to them for a much larger event.

And judging by Molly’s attention to detail — including those much-discussed fairy lights — fans may be in for some spectacular wedding photographs.

A major new chapter for Molly and Tom

Marriage is not the only major life change happening for the couple.

Molly and Tom have also revealed that they sold their first home together just 18 months after buying it.

Despite loving the property, they decided to move on sooner than originally expected as they began thinking seriously about their long-term future.

“We have actually sold the house and are looking to buy another one,” they revealed.

Molly admitted that her mother had pointed out the couple were attempting two of life’s famously stressful milestones at exactly the same time: moving house and getting married.

But Molly appeared to embrace the chaos.

She explained that alongside their podcast and other commitments, life has been extremely busy — something she says she enjoys.

Their next property, however, could carry much greater significance.

Tom revealed that the couple hope their next house will become their “forever home” — somewhere they can eventually raise a family and welcome friends and loved ones.

It is perhaps the clearest indication yet of just how far their relationship has come.

Molly’s success beyond the villa

Since winning Love Island All Stars, Molly has also enjoyed significant success professionally.

She has secured partnerships with major fashion, beauty, fitness and jewellery brands, establishing herself as one of the franchise’s most commercially successful recent stars.

But despite the glamorous campaigns, holidays and public appearances, her relationship with Tom has remained central to the couple’s story.

What began as an unexpected villa romance has gradually transformed into something much bigger.

They met on television.

They won the show together.

They built a home.

They got engaged.

And now, they are husband and wife.

For fans who watched their first conversations unfold on Love Island All Stars, seeing Molly and Tom walking out of Stockport Town Hall wearing wedding bands is a remarkable full-circle moment.

And their love story isn’t finished yet.

With a spectacular second wedding celebration in Spain still ahead — and plans for a forever home and future family already being discussed — Mr and Mrs Clare appear to be entering their biggest chapter yet.

From Love Island to lifelong vows, Molly Smith and Tom Clare have officially made it down the aisle.

Now all eyes will be on Spain for wedding celebration number two.
