They dated for five years and married in 2018 at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Ade shared the same photo and wrote: ‘The next 4 weeks will be eventful.
‘That’s saying something after the year we’ve all had, but yes, it feels like we’re about to start a new chapter, a new adventure.
‘I feel a mixture of excitement and fear, but above all excitement!

The athlete said Hello! at that moment: ‘Everyone says it’s the best day of your life, but it was probably better than that.
“We were ordinary people in an extraordinary place and you could see everyone taking a breath as they took in the magnificent surroundings. It was a bit overwhelming.
‘She looked so beautiful. My eyes started to cry and some of my friends turned their faces away because they didn’t want to start crying too.’
Ade said his friends said “people like us don’t have weddings like that,” and said he and Linda are both “dreamers, who set our goals high.”
