Footy commentator Kate McCarthy marries partner Kate Lee in “perfect” ceremony

Triple M footy commentator Kate McCarthy and partner Kate Lee tied the knot this weekend in “the most perfect day ever”.

Footy was back but off field celebrations continued at the weekend after commentator Kate McCarthy married her love in a “perfect” wedding on Saturday.

McCarthy, wearing a white Grace Loves Lace dress, exchanged vows with her partner Kate Lee, wearing a Milla Nova white gown, at the Post Office Hotel in Coburg.

“We had the most perfect day ever,’’ McCarthy said.

“Surrounded by our most cherished people long into the night. It couldn’t have been more perfect.

“I cried so much when we first got there which I was not expecting considering I am quite used to be in big crowds. Was completely overwhelmed that I was about to marry the most beautiful and perfect person in the world.

“Our dogs Nacho, Norman & Noah behaved themselves wonderfully.

“Even a once in a lifetime cyclone in Brisbane didn’t stop my family and friends making it down for the day to celebrate. Nor could a few other obstacles. It was simply perfect.”

Among the guests were many AFLW players plus McCarthy’s colleagues including Dale Thomas, Jack Heverin and Barry Denner.

Heverin posted: “Congratulations to the queen of Triple M Footy Kate McCarthy on marrying her Queen Kate Lee. Awesome day/night and we are all so proud of you!”

McCarthy will co-host Seven’s new Sunday Footy Feast program alongside Jason Richardson and Campbell Brown.

In September she suffered a serious heart scare but has recovered well.

Last month she hit back at trolls saying she’ll “gladly prove you all wrong” after it was announced she’d picked up a new media gig.

She has joined AFL Media’s The Round So Far as host alongside Xander McGuire and a rotating panel.

McCarthy drew some detractors on social media platform X, who claimed she hadn’t earnt the job on merit.

“Thanks to everyone in this thread for all of the “supportive” comments,’’ McCarthy responded. “I will gladly prove you all wrong and do an excellent job bringing you TRSF with these three outstanding humans by my side. I’m extremely excited and glad to be a part of the AFL family.”
