The blushing bride was seen in a white bridal gown and flowers in her hair as she posed for snaps with her new husband.

Lena married her first husband – musician Peter Loughran – in 2007, with the pair divorcing in 2013 after welcoming son Wylie, 11.

In 2015, the actress welcomed her second child, daughter Teddy, with her then-boyfriend Dan Cadan, before separating in 2018.

She met Ozark actor Marc in 2020, and the couple confirmed their relationship in November of the same year.

After the pair confirmed their relationship, sources revealed Lena was planning on relocating to the US for good.

A source revealed: “Lena now sees herself living in the States for the foreseeable future.

“It’s where the parts are for her and she’s got a blossoming relationship with Marc so she sees no point in her living in the UK.

“Dan is still pretty cut up about the break-up and is worried about how often he’ll see his little girl as she plans to take him with her when she moves from London.”
