Davina McCall has quietly tied the knot with long-term partner Michael Douglas, just three months after the celebrity hairstylist proposed during a romantic getaway to Ibiza. The beloved TV presenter, 57, exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony on Friday, surrounded only by immediate family and a select circle of close friends. According to reports, the pair held a larger service the following day to celebrate with more of their loved ones.

The private wedding comes at the end of a difficult year for Davina, during which she underwent major surgery to remove a benign brain tumour and received a breast cancer diagnosis shortly afterwards. Throughout the ordeal, Douglas has remained steadfastly by her side, a source close to the couple revealed that the strength of their relationship during these life-changing events played a major role in their decision not to delay their special day.

McCall and Douglas, who first began dating in 2019 after years of friendship, have long kept their romance relatively private despite both being well-known personalities in their own right. Their relationship blossomed naturally, having worked together for years on hair projects and social media collaborations before confirming they were a couple.

Friends say that their bond deepened further over recent months, as Davina faced the intense emotional and physical challenges of navigating cancer treatment and recovery from brain surgery.

A source told The Sun:
“Their wedding was perfect, exactly what they wanted. They chose a small venue close to home and invited only about ten of their closest friends and relatives. Everyone who attended holds a special place in their lives.”

The insider added that the couple didn’t want to wait, especially after enduring such deeply personal struggles:
“They’ve been through so much. Formalising their marriage now just felt right. They didn’t see the point in putting it off any longer.”

Despite their public profiles, McCall and Douglas opted for a wedding far removed from the glitz and spectacle often associated with celebrity nuptials. The intimate setting was described as warm, emotional, and deeply personal, with the pair prioritising the presence of those who have supported them throughout their relationship and recent health battles.

Sources say the ceremony focused on simplicity, love, and gratitude, themes that have become central in Davina’s life since her diagnoses. The couple reportedly exchanged heartfelt personal vows before celebrating with a relaxed gathering.

The following day’s slightly larger celebration allowed a wider group of friends and family to join the couple in marking the milestone, though still keeping the atmosphere private and low-key.

Davina McCall is one of the UK's best-known and most beloved television presenters, rising to fame hosting Big Brother and going on to front numerous primetime programmes including Long Lost Family, The Masked Singer, and multiple charity specials. Her fans have long admired her openness about health, family, fitness, and personal struggles.

Her marriage to Douglas represents not only a joyful moment of love but a hopeful turning point after a challenging year.

Supporters online have flooded social media with congratulations and well-wishes, praising the couple’s resilience and celebrating the news of their marriage.

For now, Davina and Michael are enjoying the beginning of their newlywed life, and doing it their own way: quietly, lovingly, and surrounded by the people who matter most.
