Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch have renewed their wedding vows in a ‘beautiful’ ceremony on the beach in the Maldives.
The model, 36, wore a stunning sheer vintage lace dress and veil made by her dressmaker friend Silvia, with former footballer Peter, 41, saying he got ‘butterflies’ when he saw his wife walk down the aisle.
The couple tied the knot on December 17 in front of their four children, Abbey’s mum Karen and friends on a private island at the Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort.

‘We started as a young couple together, and now here we are with our four kids walking us down the aisle. I feel like the luckiest person on earth,’ Abbey told Hello! Magazine.
‘We were going to renew our vows on our ten-year anniversary, but with lockdown, we couldn’t do it… Pete’s quite romantic at heart; he has definitely earned himself brownie points for the next few years.’
Peter gushed: ‘Abbey looked incredible, and even after 11 years, I still got butterflies when she walked down the aisle, it was a stunning island, but Ab stole the show – I’m a lucky man.’

The couple tied the knot at the Stapleford Park hotel in Leicestershire in 2011, two years after announcing their engagement.
In echoes to their wedding, Abbey and Pete renewed their vows under an arch of white roses before the party tucked into a traditional Maldivian starters, which was followed by a surf-and-turf main course.
Sophia, 11, Liberty, seven, Johnny, four, and three-year-old Jack were present for the ceremony, with the couple revealing their children ‘loved’ jetting off to the remote island, danced all night and rolled around in the sound.

Abbey said while it is hard raising four children, she feels so ‘lucky to still be in love after all these years’.
The Liverpool beauty added: ‘The Maldives is a magical place, so to renew our vows there was perfect. It still feels like a dream.’
Peter and Abbey began dating in 2006, but briefly split during the European cup with the footballer releasing a statement at the time.
The statement said: ‘Whilst I do not ordinarily comment upon matters relating to my private life, I have read with dismay various recently articles and reports about my “relationship” with Abbey Clancy.

‘In light of this, I wish to make the situation absolutely clear: Abbey and I were in the very early stages of a relationship which, for a number of reasons, I decided a few weeks ago to end, and I accordingly informed Abbey of my decision.’
But it wasn’t long before they were back together, with the couple now parents to four children.
Back in June, Abbey celebrated their 11 year wedding anniversary by trying on her wedding dress.
The model easily slipped back into the size 6 Giles Deacon gown, and posed for a snap in it while standing in her dining room and wearing a pair of shades.
The Scouse beauty took to her Instagram Stories, where she uploaded the snap of herself in the sensational dress, adding: ‘It still fits! with the hashtag 11 years married.
Congratulations! The couple tied the knot on December 17 in front of their four children and friends on a private island at the Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort
