Lara Worthington’s former bestie Hermione Underwood has tied the knot and celebrated with two weddings and a four-day, opulent love-fest.
And Saturday Confidential can reveal the UK chief executive of JSHealth Vitamins is pregnant.
Underwood tied the knot with Apacor chief executive Anthony Bellm – previously incorrectly reported as being photographer Ben Wheeler – on Wednesday, with multiple celebrations happening in the days prior.
“On Wednesday, surrounded by family, we married in a little church in the English countryside and it was more than I ever could have dreamed of,” Underwood wrote on Instagram, alongside a gallery of images of her big day, held in Berkshire.
The festivities, branded “Hermant” (a combination of Her for Hermione and Ant for Anthony) by guests, began with welcome drinks at Hotel Corazon, in Mallorca, Spain, with Aussies including heiress Lou O’Neil and Anna Heinrich’s little sister Charlotte in attendance.
Noticeably absent was Underwood’s former bestie Worthington, who was in Australia at the time of the wedding.
Known for her keen eye for fashion, Underwood underwent multiple dress changes to celebrate her nuptials and celebrated Australian designers for the majority of the time.
Her welcome drinks gown was a slinky, low-back, high-neck, beaded silk dress (below) by local dressmaker Leah Da Gloria. And her stunning, Grace Kelly-inspired wedding dress was designed by go-to Aussie wedding dress brand Pallas Couture, paired with Dior shoes.
Bellm’s company Apacor is best known for distributing Covid-19 tests throughout Britain during the peak of the pandemic.
Underwood was thrust into the spotlight after becoming known as Worthington’s bestie after they met on a flight to LA in 2007.
Worthington famously fled to Underwood’s Bondi home when her relationship with former Test cricketer Michael Clarke began to fall apart, then Underwood featured on Worthington’s failed Being Lara Bingle reality TV show.
Underwood also acted as Worthington’s manager before they split 12 months later.
