Chanel Iman married Davon Godchaux
Chanel Iman has married Davon Godchaux.
The 33-year-old model exchanged vows with the NFL player in a civil ceremony in New York last month, before enjoying a public wedding on a yacht in the Caribbean Sea on 24 February, just five months after they welcomed their daughter Capri into the world.
The couple were joined by a "handful" of their closest friends and family members, including Chanel's daughters Cali, five, and four-year-old Cassie - who she has with ex-husband Sterling Shepard - for the ceremony in Anguilla before sailing on to St. Baths for their reception.
Chanel told Vogue magazine: “We planned the wedding the way we desired — doing something together that we love with our kids and our blended family...
“There were a lot of emotions on the day of the wedding.
"We laughed, we cried, we danced — and made incredible memories together. The trip actually moved us and inspired us to do this annually with our family.
“We celebrated for three days on our charter — island hopping and making stops at beach clubs, where it all started."
The island tour ended in Cap Juluca, where the couple celebrated their honeymoon.
The supermodel - who wore an off-the-shoulder Zuhair Murad gown featuring an embellished corset and tulle-layered skirt - admitted it was particularly "special" having her daughters serve as her flower girls.
She said: “Family is everything to me and having my three girls by my side was so special. Cali and Cassie were so excited in the weeks leading up to the wedding. My daughters hold a special place in my heart and sharing this moment with them was priceless.”
But she admitted it was "heartbreaking" the 29-year-old sportsman's child from a previous relationship was unable to attend at the last minute.
She said: “We look forward to celebrating our union with him all together at a later date this year [though]. This celebration will continue!”
