Ex on the Beach Star Zaralena Jackson Marries Shaun Iddon in Glamorous Cheshire Ceremony
Ex on the Beach star Zaralena Jackson has married her fiancé Shaun Iddon in a glamorous ceremony in Cheshire, marking a joyful new chapter for the reality TV personality.
The couple tied the knot this week at Merrydale Manor in Knutsford, a luxury wedding venue known for its elegant countryside setting. Zaralena looked radiant as she arrived in a striking strapless wedding gown, featuring intricate beadwork, delicate embroidery and a dramatic bridal silhouette.
The former MTV star completed her bridal look with a lace veil and matching fingerless gloves, adding a classic touch to the sparkling gown. Her husband Shaun opted for a refined sandy-brown suit, paired with a crisp white shirt, a gold watch and a white floral boutonnière pinned to his lapel.
Ahead of the big day, Zaralena gave fans a glimpse into her final preparations on social media. The night before the wedding, she shared relaxed snaps of herself and Shaun enjoying a quiet pamper session together, with both wearing face masks as they prepared for the celebration.
Thanking fans for their kind messages, she wrote that she would reply once the “wedding madness” was over, before adding that she and Shaun were settling in for some rest before their special day.
Zaralena first rose to public attention after appearing on Ex on the Beach in 2017. Since then, she has remained a familiar name among reality TV fans, not only for her television appearance but also for her openness about her personal struggles.
The star has spoken candidly in the past about living with alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss. Her honesty has earned praise from many supporters, particularly after she bravely removed her wig on live television in 2022 following controversy surrounding Chris Rock’s joke about alopecia at the Oscars.
At the time, Zaralena used the moment to raise awareness of the emotional impact of the condition, explaining how deeply it can affect confidence, identity and mental wellbeing. Her decision to speak publicly helped spark wider conversations about hair loss and the importance of sensitivity around the issue.
Her wedding to Shaun now represents a deeply personal milestone for the couple, who became engaged on Christmas Day last year. The romantic proposal was followed by months of planning, culminating in their elegant Cheshire celebration surrounded by loved ones.
For Zaralena, the ceremony was more than a glamorous occasion. It was a moment of happiness after a journey marked by resilience, self-acceptance and personal growth.
With her sparkling gown, emotional backstory and loving new husband by her side, Zaralena’s wedding day offered fans a heartwarming reminder of how far she has come since her reality TV debut.
As she begins married life with Shaun, the former Ex on the Beach star appears to be embracing her next chapter with confidence, joy and style.
