Jessica Marais' former boyfriend Jake Holly tied the knot last month to his long-time boyfriend Wayne – and did it in striking style.

The photographer, who previously dated the Packed To The Rafters star in 2018, married his partner Wayne in an intimate ceremony in Sydney on Friday, February 21.

Jake shared a series of images to Instagram on Tuesday, revealing the couple had exchanged vows in the heart of the city, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge looming in the background.

In one photo, the newlyweds posed side-by-side on a wooden pier, gazing lovingly at each other while dressed in coordinating gold, black and olive ensembles.

Jake stunned in an off-the-shoulder olive-green gown with a thigh-high split and strappy heels.

He completed the fairytale theme with a jewelled tiara, while an array of gold and silver jewellery ensured all eyes were on him.

Meanwhile, his husband looked dashing in a sculpted gold corset-style top paired with tailored black trousers and a dramatic feathered train.

Another image showed the happy couple exchanging their first kiss as newlyweds, while a third captured a tender moment as Jake gently touched Wayne's face while he cradled a bouquet of pale roses. 

Captioning the post, Jake wrote: ‘Home was a place, now it's a person.' 

'A lifetime sounds like a long time to vow anything but I could have forever with you & it wouldn't be long enough. 21.2.26.'

It's been seven years since Jessica Marais and her ex-boyfriend Jake Holly split.

But it appears the photographer and the former Packed To The Rafters star are still good mates. 

Previously, Jessica, 41, shared a photograph of her freshly dyed hair to social media.

Jake commented underneath the image, writing 'Miss you xx' just one hour after she posted it. 

This is not the first time the two have been friendly since their split.

In March 2021, Jessica and her ex enjoyed a day out at Coogee Beach, with Jake sharing a photo of the pair together to Instagram Stories. 

In the photo, the pair posed close together, both smiling and appearing relaxed in each other's company.

Jessica dressed casually in a green sweater and carried a pink backpack, her top speckled with rain. 

Jake captioned the sweet photo of the pair together: 'Rainy day catch ups'. 

The couple are believed to have split in 2018, the same year they went public with their romance after attending a Sam Smith concert together at Nova's Red Room.

In 2019, Jake moved to the US, however he has since returned and has maintained a friendly relationship with his ex. 

In August 2020, the Love Child star shared a photo with Jake to Instagram, where they nestled in close to one another at a Sydney beach.

Jake was believed to have been supporting her as she mourned the death of her mother, Karen. 

In 2018, Woman's Day magazine claimed that the couple decided to call it quits and just be friends instead.
