Ronnie O'Sullivan has married EastEnders star Laila Rouass just months after their on-off relationship had ended, as the actress celebrated the moment with a message declaring 'Free Palestine'
Ronnie O'Sullivan has married Laila Rouass, 10 months after their on-off relationship ended.
The snooker legend and actress officially tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in London after 13 years together.
Laila, 54, took to Instagram to share an image of her and 'The Rocket' walking down the steps of St George's Town Hall in Shadwell, East London, covered in confetti.
Posting the happy picture of their big day, Laila, who is of Moroccan and Indian heritage, used the caption of her wedding post to send a political message about the Israel vs Palestine war.
She wrote: "Palestinians have taught me so much, most importantly to honour human connection, make love your motivator and to keep refreshing it. So l suppose after almost a year break...this was one way of pressing the refresh button.
"Ok... so it wasn't Venice...that was fully booked. It was Cable Street in Shadwell where I was born and where my heart belongs.
"It's where in 1936, local activists along with the Jewish community gathered together to demonstrate against the planned fascist BUF marchers.
"The Battle of Cable Street was used by my father as an example of how a community rooted in justice, can bring change...that we all have a duty to fight for the freedom and rights of others.
"The East End is the land of the immigrants. Its vibrancy, diversity and working class roots is something I treasure. I was born there, I was educated there, today I was married there and I will be buried there because my roots are my roots.
"Free Palestine. Mrs O'Sullivan"
It was O'Sullivan's first time down the aisle, but Laila's second trip, after she previously married Abdeslam Rouass in 1990, before they divorced in 2003, and he was later jailed for fraud.
In December, the actress confirmed reports that the couple had decided to split for good, but earlier this month, it was reported that they were back together and planning on starting a new life in Dubai.
Speaking on their split last year, Laila posted to Instagram: "Break ups can strip you down to your essence. I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It's normal, don't beat yourself up.
"One thing I'm conscious of not doing is trying to get back where I was. No, I'm discovering who I've become. I've gone through various emotions... hurt, pain, anger but what I've realised about anger is that it's bottomless."
But now, the couple are reportedly selling their £2million home in Chigwell, Essex, and will relocate to the UAE with Laila.
