Here’s everything you need to know about her and when the couple tied the knot…
Who is Emma Rhys-Jones?
Emma Rhys-Jones, 29, has been with Gareth Bale, 29, for over a decade.
She grew up in Llanishen, a district in north Cardiff a couple of miles from Bale’s family home.
The couple began dating in the early 2000s while attending Whitchurch High School.
They got engaged in July 2016 and Gareth announced the news on social media posting: “She said yes!! This is a birthday weekend I won’t forget for a long time…”
The pair got married in 2019 – a year after Gareth scored a stunning goal in the Champions League final.
Who is Emma’s fiance Gareth Bale?
Gareth is a professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid and Wales.
He was born on July 16, 1989, in Cardiff.
He started his football career at Southampton before moving to Tottenham.
He signed a six year deal with Spanish club Real Madrid in 2013.
He’s won the Champions League with the club four times.
When is Emma Rhys-Jones’ and Gareth Bale’s wedding?
Emma and Gareth were set to get married in summer 2018 but the wedding has been postponed until 2019.
They decided to put their plans on hold due to an ongoing feud with Emma’s family.
Her father Martin, 54, was released from prison in June after being imprisoned for fraud for six months in the US.
But she banned him from the wedding after he moved in with a florist half his age, Alina Baranova.
Other members of her family including her aunt Jane Burns, 55, have been embroiled in a violent drugs feud.
The couple were set to tie the knot at the historic Vincigliata castle in Tuscany, where Theo Walcott – Gareth’s former Southampton team-mate – wed in 2014.
But they are now reportedly getting married on private island Tagomago, near Ibiza, as exclusively revealed by The Sun.
Bale will also splash out on ex-SAS soldiers to ensure his party are kept safe with any uninvited guests having no chance of getting ashore.
