Emma Watkins, better known as the Yellow Wiggle, is all loved-up and finally married to the man of her dreams; Oliver Brian.
After hanging up her yellow skivvy and leaving The Wiggles in 2021, the former Yellow Wiggle was keeping tight-lipped about her wedding plans.
Though she had plenty more downtime to spend planning, Emma kept her May ceremony a secret until the moment she started sharing photos of her big day online.
The sweet couple met behind the scenes of The Wiggles, Oliver working as a backup musician for The Wiggles, whilst Emma was one of the key members along with Anthony Field, Simon Pryce, and Lachlan Gillespie.
If that last name sounds familiar, it may be because Lachlan and Emma were actually married before she and Oliver got together.
The Yellow and Purple Wiggles dated in secret before announcing their relationship to the world in 2015, sharing the news they were engaged soon after.
In April 2016 they tied the knot in a romantic wedding ceremony, but their marriage lasted just two years before Emma and Lachlan called it quits in August 2018.

Fortunately, both went on to find love again. Emma fell for Oliver in 2019 and they too kept their relationship on the down-low at first.
That is, until Oliver popped the question in April last year and Emma said yes!
And on the first weekend of May in 2022 the pair said “I do” in a beautiful wedding ceremony in country NSW, with Emma dressed in a unique Paolo Sebastian gown we just adore.
As they start a new chapter as husband and wife, we’re looking back on their romance to see how they got here, and what’s in store next.
Emma and Oliver met behind the scenes of The Wiggles; Emma is the Yellow Wiggle and Oliver is a backup musician. According to Emma, they knew each other for four years before Oliver finally asked her out on a dinner date and romance blossomed.
The singer has chosen to keep her love life mostly private, rarely posting photos of Oliver to social media before their engagement. On the rare occasions she did talk about him, she sounded totally smitten.
“He’s very opposite to me,” Emma told Stellar. “He’s a very calm and thoughtful person and I’ve always been interested in his mind and his take on life, and his morals.
“He loves talking about the environment and food production. It’s not very ‘Wiggly’, but it’s been nice for me to talk about things not just concerning ourselves, but people everywhere around the world.”
Fans were thrilled when Emma took to Instagram in April to announced that she and Oliver were engaged with a loved-up photo together. “When life gets more sparkly ✨💍❤️,” the singer captioned the post with her husband to-be.
Though she’s not one to boast, Emma did show off her ring to a few locals in Woodford, Victoria, where Oliver popped the question. She displayed the sparkling diamond ring for a horse and shetland pony in this cute snap from the day she and Oliver got engaged.
Since their engagement, Emma has been posting Oliver more regularly on her social media. She shared this adorable colour-coordinated snap in April for Oliver’s birthday, both of them wearing Emma’s signature Wiggles colour.
More recently the couple escaped to Queenstown, New Zealand for a romantic getaway. Emma shared this loved-up picture to Instagram with the caption: “Just a moment to discuss permaculture and peace.”
Oliver supported Emma as she entered a new chapter following her decision to say goodbye to The Wiggles in 2021. She decided tp focus on her PhD and work with the deaf community, as well as spending plenty more time at home.
The couple made the most of the extra downtime with a beach getaway in February 2022.
As well as plenty of dog walks and down-to-earth moments away from the spotlight that The Wiggles shone on Emma for years.
Emma shared this sweet tribute to Oliver on his birthday in 2022.
