Robin Thicke, 48, marries model fiancée, 30, after seven-year engagement
Robin Thicke and April Geary have tied the knot after a seven-year engagement.
The 48-year-old singer first popped the question to the model, 30, in 2018, before getting down on one knee again just days before their nuptials.
Blurred Lines hitmaker Thicke shares three children with Geary: Mia Love, five, Lola Alain, four, and Luca Patrick, two.
Their ceremony was every inch as lavish as you'd expect, as the lovebirds said 'I do' in a romantic celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Geary shared some videos on Instagram, showing herself in a long white lace gown with a veil for the occasion, while Thicke wore a classic tuxedo.
A guest also posted a video showing Thicke walking down the aisle to Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, with youngest Luca sweetly serving as 'ring security'.

The newlyweds also made sure to include a tribute to Thicke's late father, who died in 2016 at the age of 69.
A seat on the front row was left empty for Alan Thicke, as Geary's video showed the chair with 'In Loving Memory Of Alan Thicke' printed on the back of it.
The game show host and comedian collapsed while playing ice hockey with his son, Carter, where he was wheeled out on a stretcher and pronounced dead later that day, the cause cited as type-A aortic dissection.
Thicke was close with his father, writing on Instagram earlier this year for his birthday that he 'misses [him] every day'.
His wedding to Geary comes shortly after he asked for her hand in marriage again while in Cannes.
She posted on Instagram: 'Robin surprised me during our trip to Cannes by proposing to me again with a new ring that one of my best friends @nikkiwhatnikkiwho @establishedjewelry made. I'm so obsessed with it, thank you!!!'
'This trip was such a dream. I love you so much @robinthicke Also a huge thank you to @alilasky for clearing out the whole area and making sure there wasn't a single person getting in the way', her caption continued.
The pair first began dating in 2014, several months after the pop star separated from his wife of 10 years, Paula Patton, with whom he shares son Julian Fuego, 14.
At the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, they made their first public appearance together, two months after Thicke and Patton's marriage was officially dissolved.
Speaking about his new relationship, Thicke revealed in 2021 that they were going to therapy, having found it useful to get an outsider's perspective on matters.
He said during an interview with the Black Girls Texting podcast: 'Therapy is not for everybody all the time, but it definitely opens barriers for us, even just to go once or twice.
'If you're struggling in your relationship, one visit, one conversation with a third party can change things.'
He added: 'Couples therapy has been great for me and April, and it's been great for me and Paula in co-parenting. More Trending
'We've had a few sessions and it's really helped for us, so I am a total believer in therapy.'
Then, in 2024, Thicke spoke to People about their wedding plans, saying getting hitched was a 'priority'.
'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together,' he added.
'She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for.'

Another Strictly star has phone stolen in London as it travels across the globe
A third Strictly Come Dancing star had their phone stolen while out in central London. In a post shared online, they revealed their phone ended up across the globe Yet another Strictly Come Dancing star was robbed in London as they revealed where their phone ended up. Earlier this month, both Annabel Croft and Michelle Tsiakkas revealed to fans their phones were stolen while out in the city as they issued warnings to their Instagram followers. Michelle, 29, told fans having her phone stolen was 'traumatising' and said she felt 'awful, scared and helpless' when it happened. She explained that she was simply going about her day when a criminal whizzed past her on an electric bike and snatched her phone straight from her hand. The star said it was early morning when she was on her way to the dentist around Covent Garden. Annabel Croft was also a victim of phone theft and recently recalled the terrifying moment she was mugged in broad daylight in the middle of London. The brave star being the target of a criminal has prompted her to speak out to make sure others don't suffer the same issue. Annabel, who competed in the 2023 series alongside Johannes Radebe, said she was waiting for a taxi when the incident occurred. Speaking on Instagram, Annabel detailed the moment and thanked those who rushed to her aid. "I just wanted to warn people who are on their own in London. I just got mugged waiting for a taxi outside King's Cross St Pancras," she wrote. "The man was riding a bike and wearing a black balaclava. He rode straight at me and took my phone clean out of my hands. He rode away with it but luckily dropped my phone so I got it back. Terrifying! " Annabel added. She added: "On a positive note, there are some lovely people out there. Luckily a lovely gentleman witnessed it and came over to help me. Thank you to whoever you are." The new Strictly curse didn't stop with Annabel as Seann Walsh recently revealed his phone was stolen in a post shared on his Instagram Stories. Along with a screenshot from the Find My app, which showed his phone in Guangdong, China, he said: "My phone was stolen (yes, out of my hand and yes, I live in Lond) a week or so ago and it is now in China if anyone happens to be passing by." One person urged the comedian to write a book called "It could only happen to me" and he responded: "If there are any publishers following me, I am open to this but it will be a very long book. I'm calling it Typical." Unsettled Londoners have been left in disbelief as mobile phone theft has increased at a horrifying rate. New statistics release this month revealed that 231,000 phone thefts and robberies were recorded over the past four years in the city. Analysis by The Times revealed hotspots in London include St James's Park, where Piccadilly and Haymarket meet Pall Mall and Clarence House as well as parts of the West End. Figures released by Scotland Yard figures show a 20 per cent year-on-year increase in robberies - with 81,256 mobile phone crimes were recorded in 2023. The stats also showed that roughly 37 people have their phone snatched on the streets of the capital every day.

The Vivienne inquest confirms star was 'found by neighbour' two days after death
The Vivienne was found by a neighbour in their bathtub after being dead 'for a couple of days', an inquest has heard The RuPaul's Drag Race UK star, whose real name was James Lee Williams, died aged 32 at home in Cheshire on January 5 this year, with her family revealing two months later that she died 'from the effects of ketamine use causing a cardiac arrest'. An inquest on Monday morning heard that the star had been lying dead in the water for 'a couple of days' by the time she was found. A forensic toxicologist added that there was a 'relatively high' level of ketamine in their system, which suggested 'moderate to excessive use' of the drug before their death, as reported by the Liverpool Echo. The inquest was heard by senior coroner Jacqueline Devonish at Cheshire Coroner's Court in Warrington, who said: '[Williams]did a lot for his community and he made a name for himself as a performing artist and as a drag artist as The Vivienne. 'His family say he was very bold in pursuit of his dreams and that he made a difference… It is very important to the family that James is not remembered for his use of ketamine, because drugs don't define the person he was.' The coroner added: 'On the balance of probabilities, I am satisfied that James Lee Williams' death was a misadventure. He took ketamine but he did not intend to end his own life.' The Vivienne was found dead in the bathroom of their home near Chester, the opening of the inquest was told, while police attended and confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances. During their time on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, The Vivienne opened up about their struggles with drug addiction. The star, who was the show's first ever winner in 2019, said on the programme at the time: 'It was party, drugs, but I couldn't leave the drugs at the party, it was constant for me.' They added that their addiction was a 'habit that caught on a bit too quick and a bit too hard'. The Government is seeking expert advice after illegal use of ketamine surged to record levels.

The Vienne's funeral in North Wales was attended by RuPaul's Drag Race UK contestants Tia Kofi and Baga Chipz, as well as Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins, JLS singer Aston Merrygold, and Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney. More Trending After rising to fame on the BBC show, The Vivienne performed as the Wicked Witch of the West in a UK and Ireland tour of The Wizard Of Oz musical. Last year, they reprised the role in the West End at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, and before their death they were set to return to stage in March, reprising their role as the Childcatcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In February, The Vivienne was honoured with an icon award at the inaugural Metro Pride Awards.
