They've now announced they're married as Laila shared a snap of their low-key wedding.
She wrote on Instagram: "Palestinians have taught me so much, most importantly to honour human connection, make love your motivator and to keep refreshing it. So l suppose after almost a year break...this was one way of pressing the refresh button.
"Ok... so it wasn't Venice...that was fully booked.
"It was Cable Street in Shadwell where I was born and where my heart belongs. It's where in 1936, local activists along with the Jewish community gathered together to demonstrate against the planned fascist BUF marchers.
"The Battle of Cable Street was used by my father as an example of how a community rooted in justice, can bring change...that we all have a duty to fight for the freedom and rights of others.
"The East End is the land of the immigrants. Its vibrancy, diversity and working class roots is something I treasure. I was born there, I was educated there, today I was married there and I will be buried there because my roots are my roots.
"Free Palestine
"Mrs O'Sullivan."

Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain says she ‘won't be grateful' following BBC cooking show axe
has spoken out following the cancellation of her BBC cooking show, delivering a powerful response to critics who told her to be 'grateful'. The Great British Bake Off winner has enjoyed a 10-year relationship with the broadcaster following her win in 2015, producing a range of cooking shows including Nadiya's Food Adventures and Nadiya's Time to Eat. However, after announcing that the decade-long collaboration had come to an end earlier this month, Hussain has now responded to 'tonnes of messages' she received from fans telling her to be 'thankful'. In an Instagram video posted on Thursday (26 June), Hussain spoke of her experiences growing up in an immigrant household: 'Gratitude became something that I was expected to wear like a uniform. Anytime I voiced frustration or sadness or wanted more, I could feel the invisible pressure.' 'I am allowed to feel more than just thankful. I am a human being, and I am allowed to feel angry when I'm treated unfairly.'
