Controversial influencer Jacquie Alexander knocks back a shot of vodka on the way to marriage with Olympian Nathan Ephraums

Jacquie Alexander has tied the knot with her hockey star partner Nathan Ephraums.

The controversial influencer, 33, took to Instagram this week to reveal the lovebirds said ‘I do’ in Melbourne on Saturday.

Jacquie shared a romantic black and white photo that showed her kissing her new husband, 26, at what looked to be the couple’s reception venue.

Jacquie looked over the moon as she lovingly wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck. 

The couple were surrounded by large floral bouquets of hydrangeas and peonies for the fairy-tale photo.

‘Mr and Mrs,’ Jacquie simply captioned the loved-up image that was met with a flurry of excitement and congratulations from followers.

AFL WAG Annalise Dalins offered a warm: ‘Congratulations,’ and a love heart emoji.

‘Truly no words for how perfect this is,’ another chimed in.

A third follower summed up the sentiment of many with: ‘The most stunning bride! Congratulations lovers!’

Prior to walking down the aisle, Jacquie took to Instagram to model her stunning off-the-shoulder wedding gown.

Carrying a bouquet of calla lilies, Jacquie could barely contain her excitement as she showed off her dress.

There were some nerves on the big day though, with Jacquie sharing a video that showed her having some cheeky vodka shots with her father on the way to the ceremony.       

Jacquie’s nuptials came after she was forced to rubbish claims that she ‘ruined’ her former bestie’s wedding.

Gabi Sullivan, 31, took to TikTok in September to reveal that she was no longer friends with the fashion and beauty influencer.  

‘Some people will never forgive you for what they did to you,’ she wrote over the clip, adding: ‘Read that again.’

Gabi elaborated on the statement in a reply to a fan who asked the model to ‘spill the tea’. 

Replying, Gabi claimed that Jacquie had gotten drunk at her recent wedding to Nathan Cross and started an argument with the bride, which reduced her to tears.

‘The truth is simple, she got blackout drunk at my wedding, yelled at me in front of my entire family and made me cry,’ Gabi wrote.

‘Obviously after that our friendship never recovered. I’m just trying to move on with my life. 

‘We are literally grown adults and it’s SO sad and embarrassing some girls thrive on drama and bullying in 2025.’

Speaking to Daily Mail, Jacquie rubbished Gabi’s claims as completely false. 

‘To set the record straight. I did not yell at Gabi’s wedding, nor did I ruin her day. We continued to remain friends post her wedding day,’ she said.

‘There is a deeper problem and level of the story which is missing, as anyone who has been in a toxic friendship would completely understand. Sometimes people aren’t meant to be friends and that’s simply what’s happened here.’

‘In the end, it wasn’t healthy for the both of us and that’s why it ended. Which had already happened once before but I chose to forgive her and try again.’

Continuing, Jacquie said she had been hurt by the accusations, claiming that they had engendered ‘public shaming’.   

‘These accusations are false and hurtful,’ she said.

‘What has been more upsetting is the ongoing bullying and public shaming directed at me since. 

‘I have always respected that it was Gabi’s special day, and I would never want to take away from that. But respect goes both ways. I will not stand by silently while my character is attacked.

Jacquie revealed that Nathan had popped the question back in August 2024.

She shared the happy news after watching her fiancé, 25, compete at the Paris Olympics with Australia’s hockey team, the Kookaburras.
