‘Mother Pukka’ Anna Whitehouse ties the knot: Influencer stuns in a striking strapless dress as she marries Olly Bretton in a London wedding – two years after meeting on a dating app

Anna Whitehouse, known as ‘Mother Pukka’, married her partner Olly Breton in a beautiful wedding ceremony in London this weekend.

The 44-year-old author and Heart FM radio host, who’s also a vocal advocate for flexible work, met Olly through a dating app two years ago.

Anna and Olly looked very happy together on Saturday as they celebrated with family, friends, and their children, including their one-year-old daughter, Lola.

The couple celebrated their wedding reception at the Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge, London, with a beautiful view of Hyde Park. It was a special location for them, as they had first met there in November 2023 after connecting on the dating app Hinge.

Beautiful photos shared with The Daily Mail show the couple looking thrilled as they left Chelsea Town Hall after a small wedding ceremony with 43 family members and close friends.

She wore a beautiful strapless dress by Savannah Miller, provided by Rozie Bridal.

Anna’s beautiful Flower Lounge bouquet completed the bridal look. 

After the ceremony, guests traveled to the Mandarin Oriental hotel on a classic red London double-decker bus. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Celebrations continued with champagne, a wedding breakfast, and heartfelt speeches. Anna’s father, whom she often acknowledges as a major inspiration for her ‘Flex Appeal’ flexible working campaign, shared particularly moving words.

Last June Anna revealed she was engaged – after her previous marriage of 17 years ended. 

Anna and Matt Farquharson announced their divorce in April 2023. They have two daughters, Eva and Mae.

Anna announced her engagement on Instagram with a photo of her fiancé, Olly, who prefers to stay out of the spotlight. She shared a sweet caption about their love.

She shared her excitement online, saying she’s overjoyed and still processing the news. She’s looking forward to a unique and loving blended family life.

Anna shared on her podcast that getting engaged felt both incredibly joyful and strangely unsettling, as she discussed with her co-host, Polly Hazelwood.

‘It’s so weird to even say out loud. 

‘I think when you share the personal quite publicly, it does feel quite weird in a way,’ she said. 

‘I don’t know how to say other than… I’m engaged! I’m engaged to be married!’

Anna is a journalist, editor, and podcaster who also wrote a book called Underbelly, published in 2021.
