Rebecca Ferguson gets married at her ‘dream venue’ in London

Rebecca Ferguson described her husband Jonny Hughes as ‘the one’ who she can be herself around.

Liverpool’s Rebecca Ferguson said she has married Jonny Hughes at her “dream venue” in London.

The former X Factor contestant and soul singer-songwriter said the “final puzzle piece” in her life is now in place after a ceremony at The Dorchester hotel.

Rebecca, told Hello! that family members including her children Lillie, 18, Karl, 16, and eight-year-old Arabella attended her wedding to sports agent Jonny Hughes.

Rebecca Ferguson - Hello

The 36-year-old said: “Years ago when I was starting out, I’d get the Megabus from Liverpool to London. It was cheap as chips. We used to drive past Park Lane.

“It was inspirational for me because I’d be looking at The Dorchester, thinking, ‘One day I’ll get to stay there.’ It was a dream come true for me to get married there.”

Rebecca said it was a testament to how far she has come to put the “horrible stuff” behind her and find “peace and happiness”.

She has had top 20 songs including Nothing’s Real But Love, Backtrack and I Hope.

All her albums, 2011’s Heaven, 2013’s Freedom, 2015’s Lady Sings The Blues and 2016’s Superwoman have made it into the top 10.

Jonny Hughes said his bride looked beautiful and it was “really touching” to see Lillie with a tear in her eye.

Rebecca said when she asked long-term couples how they knew they had “met the one”, they said you “just know”.

She added: “I felt the same with Jonny. I could be myself around him.”

Rebecca received the Sound City+ 2022 Keychange Inspiration Award earlier this year. You can read more about that here.

Actively campaigning for a safer environment for artists and songwriters, Rebecca’s work has lead to her collaborating with Creative UK and the DCMS on visible codes of conduct to eradicate such toxic workplaces for those in music and beyond – with independent support and help being made available in ways never seen before.
