They exchanged vows with gorgeous wedding bands which were custom-designed by New York Jeweller Eden Diamonds. The rings cost a whopping six figures.

After the wedding ceremony, a reception followed inside the castle. The couple changed into different outfits for a party that lasted until after midnight. Few months after their wedding, the couple had another reason to celebrate when they welcomed their daughter and first child together.

Since her birth, the couple has chosen to keep their daughter out of the public eye, only sharing glimpses of her face in pictures. They are yet to release her name.

In May, Samuels, who has so far proved to be a doting father, shared a rare picture of his daughter chilling with him while nestled in his arms, leaving fans impressed with his fathering skills.
