Speaking of their first wedding in March 2020, a source previously told The Sun that the couple had wanted a ‘low-key’ day to mark becoming husband and wife.
It was previously reported that the couple had originally planned on tying the knot in May 2020 in a romantic Maldives ceremony, but that Covid restrictions hampered their plans.
The source said: ‘Jordan and Megan have been engaged for quite a while.
‘He proposed just before his heroics at the World Cup in 2018. But they put the wedding on hold when Megan fell pregnant with Arlo, who was born in February 2019.
‘The wedding in the Maldives will be for close family and friends before a bigger party back in Sunderland, where they both grew up.’
The pair also found their initial wedding plans hampered due to Jordan’s commitments as England’s top goalkeeper, helping his club reach the European Championship Final.
