Strictly star Danny Cipriani beams at wedding to AnnaLynne McCord following ‘death threats’ over ‘disgusting’ crowdfund decision

AnnaLynne has addressed the backlash

Former Strictly star Danny Cipriani has married AnnaLynne McCord in a Los Angeles wedding.

The Sun reports that the former rugby star, 38, and the 90210 actress, 39, posed for a series of romantic and playful wedding photographs.

Their big day came after a difficult build-up involving their Honeyfund page. AnnaLynne claimed the reaction to the couple’s request for contributions included abusive messages and death threats.

The LA ceremony also followed wedding speculation surrounding Danny Cipriani and AnnaLynne McCord, which began after she referred to herself as his wife at a public event.

AnnaLynne McCord claims crowdfunding backlash included threats

The couple used Honeyfund, a US platform through which guests can contribute towards expenses such as wedding celebrations and a honeymoon.

Their page requested donations ranging from $100 (£75) to $600 (£450). AnnaLynne told The Sun that she had initially thought only invited guests could access it. However, members of the public could also view the page.

The Sun said the total had reached $14,200 (£10,660) by the Friday before the ceremony. Speaking to the newspaper from a Hollywood hotel, AnnaLynne claimed some people had used the page to send hostile messages.

She said: “I was told I was despicable — and that I was trying to extort money from my wedding guests.

“People actually donated ten dollars towards the wedding so they could write on the site that Danny and I were disgusting.

“There were even death threats.”

From Raya reunion to plans for more ceremonies

Danny and AnnaLynne first met through the dating app Raya a decade before their LA wedding. Their relationship then ran on and off for four years.

The pair reunited in 2024 following Danny’s split from his former wife, Victoria Rose. Discussing their connection, AnnaLynne told The Sun: “He told me he loved me since the day he met me.”

Danny proposed on Christmas Day, getting down on one knee in front of the Christmas tree at AnnaLynne’s home.

The newlyweds reportedly intend to continue their celebrations with two further ceremonies. They plan to hold one in London and another at Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
