BBC newsreader ‘properly’ marries co-star as she shares stunning snaps from ‘One of the loveliest days of my life’
Their previous ceremony didn't legally count
A BBC newsreader has now ‘properly’ married her co-star as she shared stunning snaps.
Karin Giannone, 50, gave her fans a sneak peek of her big day on social media.
The BBC News star legally married her partner, news director Nick Buckley, in an intimate ceremony over the weekend.
The duo originally tied the knot in 2022 while they were on their travels in California.
Although the first ceremony was not legal in the UK, Karin has now confirmed that their union is now very much official.
The popular TV personality posted a beaming snap of the duo on their UK wedding day.
She looked glamorous in a sleeved lace wedding dress, while Nick looked dapper in his blue suit and gold tie.
Her blonde hair was styled into a relaxed updo as two wavy locks framed her face.
The pair were all smiles as both laughed at the alter as they legally tied the knot.
On Instagram, she captioned the image: “Our wedding blessing. One of the loveliest days of my life,” alongside a string of wedding themed emojis.
Meanwhile, on X – formerly known as Twitter – the former Sky News personality also posted the same image.
The newsreader wrote: “Properly married now,” complete with a simple heart emoji.
The duo originally started dating in 2019, but went to the USA four years later to get married in an intimate ceremony.
Their colleagues, such as Ben Boulos and Sally Bundock rushed to lavish the pair with their well wishes.
This comes Karin and four other anchors were taken off air following the merger of the BBC’s domestic and international news channels as part of cost-cutting.
The likes of Geeta Guru-Murthy, Kasia Madera, Annita McVeigh, and Martine Croxall lost out on presenting gigs as a result of the overhaul.
However, fans were relieved to see all of the group return to the airwaves, despite legal action that was launched against the publicly funded corporation.
