How did Rebecca and Andy meet?

Rebecca and Andy met on the dating app Bumble in 2018.

The couple quickly fell in love and Andy moved from Liverpool to live with Becky in Manchester in 2019. 

They married at Cheshire's Scarlet Hall on August 28, 2021.

Speaking about their big day, Rebecca said: "The sun shone, the people we love were there and it was just the best day."

Sharing a snap of their wedding day on Instagram, Rebecca wrote: "ahhhh we're married. We had the best weekend ever.

"So much fun, happiness, laughter and long overdue catch-ups with friends and family. I apologise now for all the wedding spam that's coming."

This is Rebecca’s second marriage, the star split from Harry Needs after 18 months of marriage in 2016. 

However, the exes remain friends and are co-parenting their daughter Summer together. 

During the Covid pandemic, Andy and Rebecca temporarily isolated with Harry and his friend Michael Gunning to be closer to Summer.

Despite the unusual living arrangement, sources told The Sun that the group got on well together.

They said: "Their arrangement is very amicable and they're doing what's best for Summer.

"They still get on really well despite their split, so why not? And Harry's friend Michael is close with the others too.

"They're all really enjoying each other's company and, what with their shared interest in swimming, it was a no-brainer."

Does Rebecca Adlington have children with Andy Parsons?

Rebecca shares two-year-old son Albie with husband Andy as well as daughter Summer, eight, from her previous marriage to swimmer Harry Needs.

In September 2023, she revealed she was expecting her third child with Andy, a year after the couple suffered a devastating miscarriage.

But on October 23, 2023, the former Olympic swimmer broke the heartbreaking news that she had another miscarriage.

Rebecca tragically discovered the baby had no heartbeat at her 20-week scan.

Announcing the news on Instagram, she wrote: "I don't really have the words right now but unfortunately we went for our 20 week scan this week and they discovered no heartbeat.

"I gave birth to our angel, Harper on Friday at 7pm. We held her, and had time with her.

"We will forever love and remember her always."

Becky thanked the staff at Wythenshawe Hospital for caring for her.

She also praised partner Andy for his "selfless support, love and help" and said she "couldn't have survived without him".
