In a whirlwind of joy and surprise, Tabitha Willett, the reality star from Made In Chelsea, has tied the knot with wealthy businessman Harry Hoare, just four months after announcing their engagement. The couple, who are expecting their first child together, shared the exciting news in a heartwarming post on Instagram, revealing the intimate ceremony held at Chelsea Town Hall.
A Surprise Wedding for Fans
Tabitha, 33, who is already a mother to six-year-old daughter Ottilie from her previous relationship with Fraser Carruthers, stunned her followers by posting a video clip of her and Harry standing on the steps of the King’s Road venue, surrounded by confetti and well-wishers. In the clip, Tabitha, glowing with happiness, wore a stylish cream trouser suit and a wide-brimmed hat, opting for a non-traditional bridal look. Harry, 50, looked dashing in a smart two-piece suit as they exchanged vows in front of close family and friends.
In a touching gesture, Ottilie, Tabitha’s daughter, was seen beside her, playing the role of one of the bridesmaids in a beautiful white lace dress. Captioning the post, Tabitha shared her joy: “My feed is full of AI April fools so I thought I would just leave this here…”. A true April Fools’ Day prank, leaving fans wondering if the wedding was real or part of the playful surprise.
A Fast-Paced Romance
Tabitha and Harry’s relationship has moved quickly, with the couple announcing their engagement just four months ago in November 2025. Their romance blossomed after reconnecting through Instagram, with Tabitha revealing that she had known Harry for years before deciding to take the leap into a romantic relationship.
Tabitha shared on Instagram: “We stayed in contact but were never close. It was actually January 1st 2025, at my most single, after putting on my vision board for the year that I wanted to find love… that I replied to an Instagram story of his saying we should grab a drink and catch up soon.”
Harry, who has a daughter from a previous relationship, proposed to Tabitha with a “placeholder ring” during a romantic stay at The Lana, a hotel in the Dorchester Collection, where he set up a breathtaking proposal complete with rose petals and a private dinner overlooking the sunset.
Tabitha’s fans were caught off guard by the surprise engagement, but the couple’s quick decision to marry was reflective of their desire to make the most of their time together.
Planning a Dream Wedding
Despite their secret ceremony, the couple has plans for a much bigger celebration. Tabitha has shared that they plan to hold multiple weddings, with one ceremony in the UK, another abroad, and a formal event for close family and friends. In true GC style, Tabitha has even hinted at wearing multiple wedding dresses to suit the different celebrations.
Speaking about her dream wedding, Tabitha explained: “It’s going to be a big celebration, I’m having multiple weddings, which means several dresses!”
Life as a Family
Tabitha’s announcement of her pregnancy earlier this year has only added to the joy surrounding her union with Harry. The couple is expecting a baby boy, which will be their first child together. Tabitha has been candid about her journey to motherhood, including her struggles with IVF and fertility issues.
Previously, she had been open about her journey to become a mother, sharing her struggles with IVF and how it impacted her relationship with Harry. “My relationship was obviously taking a bit of a hit, I was trying to have a baby—my whole world just fell apart,” Tabitha admitted.
As she prepares for the birth of her baby, she also embraces her role as a stepmother to Harry’s seven-year-old son Tristan, and the couple is excited about building their future as a blended family.
From Reality Star to Loving Partner
Tabitha first rose to fame in 2018 when she joined Made In Chelsea. During her time on the show, she experienced several relationships and emotional ups and downs, including a brief romance with Miles Nazaire and a secret relationship with Sam Prince. However, it was her connection with Harry that became the most significant chapter of her life.
In a candid reflection of her past relationships, Tabitha shared, “When I was younger, I would have thought, ‘Too dangerous!’ Now I think, ‘Oh, you’ve got to live your life!’”
Her relationship with Harry Hoare, the son of the late stockbroker Timothy Hoare, has been a whirlwind romance, and now, after a quick engagement and wedding, they’re embarking on the next exciting chapter of their lives together. Tabitha has shared her excitement over welcoming a baby into their family, as she continues to juggle her career and motherhood.
A Glimpse into Harry’s Life
Harry Hoare’s late father, Timothy Hoare, was a prominent wealthy stockbroker and the founder of T Hoare & Co, a brokerage firm that specialized in mining investments. Timothy passed away in 2019, and his funeral was attended by high-profile guests, including Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. Harry’s background is certainly one of affluence, but his life with Tabitha is focused on their growing family and creating memories together.
Their shared love for travel and family has seen them enjoy several romantic trips, including a lavish babymoon in Paris, staying at the prestigious Hôtel Plaza Athénée.
A Bright Future Ahead
As Tabitha and Harry’s love story continues, their journey together seems only to be beginning. The couple is excited to celebrate their growing family and are looking forward to what lies ahead, from raising their children together to enjoying more romantic moments as a family.
In the coming months, fans can expect more updates from Tabitha as she embraces motherhood once again, and we’ll all be eagerly awaiting her big celebrations.
