Gemma Collins plans three lavish weddings after engagement backlash
Gemma Collins has announced plans for a lavish set of wedding celebrations after confirming her engagement to Rami Hawash. The reality star, known for her openness about body confidence, recently faced criticism over a heavily edited photo with her fiancé. Now, she is preparing for not one but three ceremonies to mark their union. Collins and Hawash first dated in 2011 before rekindling their relationship in 2020. Their engagement, revealed earlier this year, has set the stage for a series of weddings—including a main ceremony in the UK, a second abroad, and an intimate gathering for close family and friends.
On Wednesday, the couple shared a filtered picture online, prompting fans to accuse Collins of excessive editing. Some claimed the image made her look unrecognisable, sparking debate as she continues to advocate for body positivity. The star had previously spoken about her own struggles with self-image during her time on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.
Beyond wedding plans, Collins is also stepping into a new family role. She is already a stepmother to Hawash’s seven-year-old son, Tristan. Meanwhile, details of her multiple wedding dresses have added to the anticipation of the upcoming events. The engagement comes after years of an on-and-off relationship, now solidified with elaborate wedding preparations. Collins remains a vocal figure in discussions about body image, despite recent backlash over photo editing. The ceremonies will mark a new chapter for the couple and their blended family.
