In a dazzling turn of events, Nick Knowles has tied the knot with Katie Dadzie at the stunning Braxted Park in Essex. The DIY SOS star, aged 62, and the 34-year-old lingerie brand owner, who began their romance in 2021, celebrated their love in grand style on June 7. Their love story kicked off when their children became fast friends at a play center back in 2019, setting the stage for this show-stopping wedding.
For their special day, Nick dazzled in a light pink tuxedo jacket, masterfully matched with sleek black trousers and a classic black bow tie. Meanwhile, Katie turned heads in a breathtaking strapless A-line gown, adorned with delicate blue flowers that encapsulated her elegance. Her traditional white veil cascaded gracefully from her beautifully styled brunette bun, completing a look that radiated bridal perfection. As she enjoyed a glass of champagne, Nick was captured cherishing moments with friends amidst the lush landscapes of their venue. An insider shared that the couple “spared no expense,†making this their dream wedding.
A close source revealed to The Sun that the wedding was a celebrity-studded affair, “He’s invited all of his famous pals, including his Strictly co-stars, so it’s going to be a proper showbiz bash.†The anticipation for Katie’s stunning dress was palpable, with guests expected to indulge in exquisite dishes and dazzling entertainment throughout the celebration.
Nick and Katie’s journey began when Katie’s daughters and Nick’s youngest son Eddie, now 9, became friends, which sparked their romantic connection. However, once their relationship became public, scrutiny emerged regarding their 27-year age gap, leading to accusations of Katie being a “gold digger.†In a valiant defense, Nick asserted that Katie is “wealthier and more successful†than he is, as she owns a thriving lingerie and sex toy company along with Boobbix, which specializes in lactation products for breastfeeding mothers.
Despite their strong bond, the couple faced challenges from harsh public comments. Nick previously expressed how the criticisms aimed at Katie affected them both. “It’s really unpleasant and unfair,†he shared with The Times last year, hinting at the emotional toll these remarks took on their relationship.
Nick praised Katie, highlighting her impressive credential“She’s a mum of two, super-intelligent, capable, and within just eight months, her lingerie brand was stocked by Next.†Acknowledging the negativity, he remarked, “So you understand when she goes, ‘I don’t know if I want to be around this.’†In 2022, he was left outraged when Katie faced abuse on social media, insisting that trolls failed to see her accomplishments and intelligence. “What happened to #bekind?†he queried, championing compassion amid the vitriol.
