ESSENDON star Jobe Watson has celebrated his sister’s wedding with a glamorous New York model on his arm.

Watson stepped out with friend Virginia Slaghekke, a medical student and model from Manhattan, at his sister Billie’s Bali nuptials.

The returning Bomber was pictured with Ms Slaghekke in a series of images from the wedding, including a family photograph.

Ms Slaghekke posted pictures of the pair together on Instagram last night. “Best night ever,” she wrote.

She has appeared on the cover of an international edition of Marie Claire and is represented by Trump Model Management.

Model in his sights? Virginia Slaghekke.

It is unclear how the pair met, but Watson spent time in New York during his 12-month ban as part of the ­Essendon supplements saga.

Speaking recently about his decision to play for the club next season, he said his time in New York had helped him find a life outside football.

But at the wedding the focus was on sister Billie, who shone in a stunning sheer gown with geometrical patterns.

Billie’s new husband, Carl Emmins, wore a traditional bow tie — but in a modern twist, ankle length pants and shoes without socks.

The celebrations at the exclusive Pure Villa Bali went into the night.

Billie and Jobe’s dad, Tim, who wore an open-necked shirt in photographs posted online, appeared thrilled at the match.

It is the first of two weddings for Watson, with another of his daughters set to wed later this month.

Virginia Slaghekke joined Jobe’s circle during a stint in NY.

Guests were seated poolside for the ceremony at the Canggu resort.

A garden wall was set up for photographs, with Billie and Carl’s names etched into the greenery. A video posted online showed a fireworks display at the reception.
