Aussie Olympic medallist marries billionaire F1 heiress
Australian Olympic medallist Scotty James has tied the knot with Chloe Stroll in a lavish Italian wedding over the weekend.
James, a four-time Olympian and two-time medallist, was introduced to Chloe, daughter of Formula One billionaire Lawrence Stroll, by her brother Lance who set them up in 2019.
The wedding came nearly 18 months after Scotty proposed, and the pair took to Instagram to share pictures of the happy occasion.
Chloe shared a series of photos with a simple infinity emoji, while Scotty shared behind the scenes clips from a boat ride around Venice.
“Hi everyone. This is our first video as husband and wife - well, on my phone anyway,” he proudly said as he looked lovingly at his wife.
“And as you can see behind us, the sun has risen. We’re on a boat back to the hotel - and we got married yesterday!”
The beautiful bride donned an off-the-shoulder gown with a stunning floral lace detail and a matching flowing veil.
The groom looked dapper in a black suit with a bow tie and beautiful white pocket rose.
The wedding weekend included a stay at the Gritti Palace in Venice.
Plenty of stars were in attendance including Scotty’s groomsman and best mate, F1 racer Daniel Ricciardo and his girlfriend Heidi Berger, also an F1 heiress.
Scotty’s brother-in-law and Sunrise weather presenter, Sam Mac, was also in attendance after taking leave from the show.
“So happy for you mate. A true honour to share this special time with you and Chloe ... wow wow wow,” he wrote on Instagram.
Rebecca, Sam’s partner, also commented: “I officially have another sister,” to which Chloe replied: “Love you sis!!!”
Some other guest stars who reportedly attended the wedding included: Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff and wife Susie, Sarah Ferguson, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.
