Former glamour model Lucy Pinder and football manager Russell Martin have tied the knot after more than a year of dating. Photos of the happy couple have emerged showing them kissing after swapping vows.
A snap has shown 42-year-old Lucy in a wedding dress while smitten Russell, 40, plants a passionate kiss on her lips. The happy news about the couple broke on Valentine’s Day – with the pair looking very loved up in photos.
The happy day comes just 18 months after former Page 3 star Lucy and Premier League manager Russell went public with their relationship. They first confirmed their romance in August 2024 when Russell collected an honorary degree from the University of Brighton – with Lucy at his side as he picked up the honour.

He was previously married to fitness instructor and bodybuilder Jasmine Martin from 2013 until their separation in 2023. The couple share three children together – and Russell previously described his ex-wife Jasmine as a “supermum” as they raised their kids together.
Meanwhile, Lucy made her name as a glamour model – and was a regular in magazines such as FHM, Nuts and Loaded in the early 2000s. She appeared topless in Nuts Magazine and was listed on FHM’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World” on several occasions. In 2007 she placed 92nd, in 2006 she was 35th and in 2005, she made the top 20, placing 16th. Also in 2007, Ralph Magazine honoured her with the title of “the best boobs in the world“.
The star also appeared as a contestant on a WAGS and Glamour Girls special edition episode of The Weakest Link in September 2007 – but this was far form her last appearance on screens. She was a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother in 2009 along with stars such as Ulrika Johnson, La Toya Jackson, Tina Malone, Tommy Sheridan and Coolio – but she was the first to be evicted on day eight.
Lucy has became well known among football fans too, regularly joining the crew on Soccer AM while wearing her Southampton top. While in 2012, she traded reality TV for movies and tried her hand at acting, playing her first supporting role in the comedy horror Strippers vs Werewolves. She starred in Age of Kill alongside Martin Kemp in 2015, as well as supernatural thrillers Suburban Fairytale and Fanged Up.
The glamour model has appeared in other movies including Sharknado 5: Global Swarming in 2017. And her most recent gig came in 2023, where she played Louise in Nightmare on 34th Street.
Lucy is a fan of Southampton – who Russell used to play for. A source previously declared to The Sun: “They’re a match made in heaven – or at least in Southampton. They’re mad for each other.”
Former defender Russell had a professional football career that spanned decades and he played for major teams including Norwhich City and Rangers. He then moved into management – first beginning at with Milton Keynes Dons in 2019 and then later became head coach of Swansea City in 2021.
In 2023, he was appointed manager of Southampton, and went on to guide the team to Premier League promotion. And then in June last year, he was appointed head coach of Rangers in Glasgow – but he exited the team by the end of the year.
