Ashley Jensen is thought to have married long-term partner Kenny Doughty in a 'secret ceremony' - six years after the death of her husband Terence Beesley.
Following the tragic loss of her first husband in 2017, the actress, currently starring as DI Ruth Calder in BBC drama Shetland and known for her role alongside Ricky Gervais in Netflix's Afterlife, married actor Kenny (Vera's DS Aiden Healy) in front of close friends and family.
The loved-up couple, who met on the set of BBC drama Love, Lies And Records following Ashley's passing, reportedly tied the knot at the historic Priston Mill near Bath in a 'super fun' low-key ceremony all the way back in August.
According to The Mail on Sunday, Ashley "barely stopped smiling all day" and wore a "stunning off-white gown with floral embroidery paired with coral platform sandals".
A friend told the outlet: "The day looked absolutely beautiful. Ashley looked just so, so happy. She was smiling and laughing, it was simply idyllic. There appeared to be so much love in that room."
The two were reportedly joined by Ashley's 14-year-old son from her marriage to late husband Terence Beesley. "There was a very sweet moment when Francis posed for pictures with Ashley and Kenny," the friend added. "It was adorable." Ashley sparked speculation after attempting to cover her left hand during a Graham Norton Show appearance earlier this month.
On the pair's bond, a source previously told MailOnline: "He has been an immense support to her in the past few years. They make a lovely couple, and all their friends are absolutely delighted for them."
Ashley, best known for her parts in Ugly Betty and Extras, has won over many fans with her warm sense of humour and enormous likeability. The 54-year-old has had to deal with a tragic heartbreak after her husband Terence died in 2017.
Terence passed away at their family home in Camerton, near Bath, on November 30 that year, leaving behind Ashley and their son Francis, who was eight years old at the time. Ashley was the one who discovered her husband, and although paramedics attempted to revive him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A subsequent inquest determined that the 60-year-old had died by suicide, while in a statement read before Avon Coroner's Court, Ashley said that she was "truly devastated" by her loss and that she would "never forget" that day. Ashley, who described her late husband as "independent and outgoing" with many friends, told the court: "Terry and I had been together for 18 years but I had no idea he was capable of what he did."
In her statement, Ashley told how she had been communicating with Terence via text and email on the afternoon of his death, and stated that she had been left "extremely shocked by what happened that night". Ashley first met Terence in 1999 while working on a production of the Shakespeare play King Lear.
