Taking to Instagram at the time, the 31-year-old shared a gorgeous series of photos from the big day, including one of them posing in the venue's grounds in Surrey, and wrote next to it: "The beautiful wedding of @tomparkerofficial and @being_kelsey #funwedding #dancing #singing#tomandkelseygotmarried."

Later that year, the Olympic medal winner opened up about her new relationship to HELLO! revealing that her daughter had adjusted to her new boyfriend.

"Her and Andy get on really, really well," Rebecca told HELLO! at the Pride of Sport Awards. "We don't live together, they only see each other once a week but we just really get on, he's great with kids. She's kind of happy playing, she's just great. I think three is a good age. She's not in her teenage years so it hasn't been too challenging yet."
