“Gossip Girl’ actor Ed Westwick has tied the knot with Bollywood star Amy Jackson in two separate ceremonies.
The Hollywood actor took to Instagram to share photos from their lavish wedding in Italy and simply wrote, “The journey has just begun.”
People Magazine reported that the couple initially wed each other in a small ceremony in London earlier this month.
The grand wedding is said to have brought together 220 guests, who traveled from the U.S., India, and various parts of Europe, to join the couple for a three-day-long celebration on the Amalfi Coast.
Westwick, who rose to fame for his portrayal of Chuck Bass in the 2007 teen drama series “Gossip Girl,” invited his co-star Kelly Rutherford, who played Lily van der Woodsen in the series, and later became Chuck’s stepmother.
In a viral video uploaded on TikTok, Rutherford delivered a speech for the newlyweds.
“I truly feel like the most grateful for our friendship and to be able to work with you was such a gift,” she said. “And to be able to watch you fall in love … I’m going to cry. No, truly it is the most beautiful thing in life and you are such a beautiful man.”
Westwick and Jackson met at a race track event in 2021 and were introduced to each other by a common friend. They got engaged in January of this year during a skip trip.
Jackson, who has a son from her previous relationship with hotelier George Panayiotou, shared in an interview that Westwick is close to her child.
“He’s the kindest, most caring human being to my little boy, Andreas — I love their relationship,” she told Lifestyle Asia.
Jackson started her modeling career at 15 years old. In 2009, she was crowned Miss Teen World after winning the Miss Teen Liverpool and Miss Teen Great Britain pageants.
In 2010, Jackson began her first foray into Bollywood. She has 20 film credits under her belt, including 2018’s 2.0, which was India’s most expensive Bollywood film at the time of its release. She also starred in the American series “Supergirl” in 2017.
