Project host Hamish Macdonald ties knot in sweet ceremony

Hamish Macdonald has tied the knot with his longtime partner, with his co-hosts declaring: “They could not look more in love.”

Project host Hamish Macdonald has tied the knot with longtime partner Jacob Fitzroy, with his co-hosts sharing sweet snaps of the nuptials online.

Pictures of the wedding were posted on The Project’s Twitter account, with Macdonald having deactivated his social media accounts in 2020.

The three pictures shared showed the TV host looking dapper in a traditional Scottish kilt, while Fitzroy was dressed in a classic black tux with white bow tie.

In one photo, they were shown in an outdoor setting surrounded by friends and being showered with confetti.

In another, the newlyweds were snapped beaming at each other during their big day.

In the clip posted on Twitter, co-host Georgie Tunny announced the news, saying: “There has been a wedding in The Project family this weekend; our very own Hamish Macdonald and his longtime partner Jacob.

“Here are some cheeky little snaps – don’t they both look stupidly handsome and so gorgeous. And we are so thrilled for them. They could not look more in love.”

She went on to say that she would “start crying”.

“They are so beyond beautiful.”

Sarah Harris added, “I love the kilt,” as Michael Hing jumped in with a joke: “Didn’t get an invite for some reason, don’t know why.”

The others were quick to point out he was working.

Tunny added: “I just hope that they had the most magical day.”

Macdonald made his first red carpet appearance with Fitzroy back in June 2019 when they attended the GQ Gentlemen’s Ball in Melbourne, where The Project host was serving as moderator.

“I’m always proud to stand beside by best friend and favourite human,” he captioned a picture that showed him and Fitzroy kissing in a photo booth.

“And while I hope that one day soon it won’t be newsworthy to hold the hand of the person you love, for now, we’d both like to say thank you for the overwhelming messages of love and support.”

But it hasn’t been the smoothest lead-up to tying the knot, with police called to a party at Macdonald’s Sydney home in March last year over complaints from neighbours, after the revelry reportedly continued for six hours.

The party was reportedly held to celebrate the upcoming nuptials.
