Ashley and Sharon have been together for nearly a decade and in that time have welcomed two children, Jaxon, six, and Grace, four – both of whom were present at their parents wedding.
Ahead of the ceremony, an insider told The Sun: "Ashley and Sharon are madly in love and have spent months planning their special day.
"They have put lots of money into it but they have only invited close friends and family. As a couple they have been very private so they don’t feel the need for a flashy, public wedding."
They are believed to have first met in 2014, when Ashley was playing for Italian team AS Roma, and returned to the city, where a number of Sharon's relatives live, for their wedding ceremony.
The couple announced their engagement back in 2022, when Sharon shared the news on Instagram, writing that it was the "easiest yes" she'd ever said.
Since getting together, the pair chose to keep their relationship out of the spotlight and kept news of Sharon's pregnancies mostly under wraps.
Back in 2019, Ashley spoke of his desire to keep his life out of the spotlight and focus on his family. He told Daily Telegraph: "These are the things I focus on now – my kids and my girlfriend."
"It's a different me. I'm more of a family man now. You won't see me in nightclubs anymore, you'll see me at a park pushing my kids."
Following the arrival of his daughter, Ashley reflected on his life: "I was a young, angry kid at the time, and now I've grown up and understand the things I did is life, it happens.
"Not just me, but with certain situations, loads of other people have done [the same]. I've learnt from it, it's made me a better person. It's made me a great dad."
