Adelaide former television personality and property consultant Amity Dry has announced her surprise marriage.

“On Tuesday, with our beautiful kids by our side, we said ‘I do’,” the post read.

“It was the most perfect, joyful day, a celebration of our family and our love story.

“We’ve been holding this little secret for months and I am so happy to finally share it. My heart is so full. Turns out, life does give you second chances.”

Ms Dry was previously married to Phil Rankine, whom she starred alongside on reality TV show The Block in 2003 and later in The Block All Stars in 2013.

The couple, who share two children, divorced in 2018.

The former reality star went on to meet her now-husband Mr Grindlay – who works as Adelaide University’s chief marketing and communications officer – in 2019, before they tied the knot six years later.

Wearing a white dress adorned with pastel-coloured flowers at the bottom, the blushing bride was all smiles walking hand-in-hand with her husband.

Holding a bouquet of pink roses with matching roses tucked in her hair, she is also pictured next to her children – son Jamison and daughter Poppy.
