Australian tennis star Alexei Popyrin marries his gorgeous fiancée Amy Pederick in stunning outdoor ceremony in France

Australian tennis star Alexei Popyrin married his fiancée Amy Pederick last month in a stunning outdoor ceremony in France.

The champion athlete, 27, tied the knot with Amy in the scenic Chateau Lacanaud region in the south-west of the country on Saturday, September 19.

Alexei shared the exciting news on social media in a gallery of wedding day photos.

He looked dashing in a tailored brown tuxedo as he exchanged vows in a scenic nature setting with his beautiful bride, who stunned in a traditional white wedding gown.

The pair looked to be in great spirits as they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony and shared their first kiss as husband and wife.

Many of Alexei's celebrity friends took to the comments section to offer their well wishes.

'Gorgeous! Congratulations x,' gushed former tennis WAG Costeen Hatzi. 

'So this is why bro was growing his hair, congrats guys!' quipped fellow tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis. 

The big day comes almost two years after Alexei and Amy confirmed their engagement in November 2024. 

Alexei has been dating his physiotherapist fiancée since they were 19 years old, in 2018.

The couple share a passion for travel, frequently sharing snapshots of their adventures on social media, including recent trips to Paris and the Seychelles.

Born in 1999 in Sydney to parents of Russian descent, Alexei embarked on his tennis journey at a young age. 

His childhood involved relocations to Dubai and Spain due to his father's work commitments, where he was neighbours with fellow professional player Alex de Minaur.

Meanwhile, Amy currently practices as a professional physiotherapist.  

Her expertise as a professional physiotherapist means she actively contributes to her husband's fitness and training. 

Beyond her professional pursuits, she shares her partner's love for travel, exploring various corners of the world during their holiday getaways.

Alexei previously discussed how he managed to reconnect with Amy as a young adult, after knowing her in his childhood.  

'We went to school together, so we were in the same maths class when we were eight years old and we kind of kept in touch since then,' Alexei told the Khaleej Times.
