BBC newsreader Karin Giannone has married her colleague Nick Buckley in an intimate ceremony.
The couple, who began dating in 2019, first tied the knot during a trip to California in 2022, but the ceremony wasn’t legal in the UK. The pair have now made their nuptials official in front of their family and friends.
To mark the occasion, Giannone took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a snap of the couple sharing a laugh at the altar, which she captioned: «Properly married now.»
In the photo, Buckley can be seen wearing a blue suit with a gold tie, while his new wife is wearing a lace white wedding gown, which she paired with silver jewellery.
