Rebekah Vardy’s marriages: Who did she walk down the aisle with?

Rebekah first married Mark Gooden. They tied the knot in 2001, when Becky was aged around 19.

Their union lasted two years, with divorce following in 2003.

She married Steve Clarke next in 2005, but their marriage lasted just a year.

She found love again with footballer Jamie Vardy, with the pair tying the knot in 2016.

There are also claims of a one night stand with singer Peter Andre, details of which Rebekah claimed she was “forced” to reveal in a News of the World interview.
