Irish Rugby Star Simon Zebo Ties the Knot in Lavish Second Wedding
Irish rugby player Simon Zebo has married his long-term partner Elvira Fernandez in a lavish second wedding. The pair, who met when they were just 15 and 16, have been together for over two decades and have three children together.
The couple held their second ceremony in Altea, a charming city in Spain, after previously getting married in an intimate ceremony in 2022 in front of just 22 of their closest friends and family. Their first wedding took place at the five-star Sheen Falls Lodge in Ireland.
A Second Wedding to Celebrate Their Love
“After I proposed in December 2019, we said we would give ourselves a year and a half to prepare,” Simon shared. “But we were actually waiting on restrictions to stop, some would stop in France and some start in Ireland and vice versa. We just didn’t know when we could start telling people a date and venue.”
He added, “So we just decided on a small ceremony first to make it official and we will go to Spain next year to do the big day.”
From Blackrock Bushes to the Eiffel Tower
The pair's love story began in the suburbs of Dublin, where they met as teenagers. Simon, a former Munster and Ireland rugby player, proposed to Elvira in a romantic setting at the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 2019. He shared the news on Twitter, writing, “Last night was special ✨ My childhood sweetheart said yes 💍 From the bushes in blackrock as 15/16 yr olds to the bright lights of Paris as parents of 3 beautiful children 🙏🏾 Love you forever eva my queen 💜 pic.twitter.com/17RhsCbKNr”
