Dancing With the Stars Australia standout and All-Stars competitor Olympia Valance and former AFL player Tom Bellchambers are married. The two exchanged vows in a regional ceremony held in the Victorian town of Daylesford, Marie Claire reports. The couple dated for three years before tying the knot. They initially met on the high-profile dating app Raya in 2019. So it’s proof that real love can be found online. The ceremony was intimate, with just their family and friends. The reception was held outside a rustic barnyard following the ceremony.
Valance is beloved for her fashion-forward street style, but she went a bit more classic with her gown. Her wedding dress married traditional elements with a sexy silhouette for a timeless-looking gown. The all-white ensemble was created by local Melbourne couturier, J’Aton. She donned a long sleeve gown with delicate and ornate appliquรฉ stitched onto the nearly-naked dress, creating an almost corset-like appearance. It also featured a high-neck number and she adorned her head with a long veil adorned with pearl-esque detailing.
