Amalia Kostopoulou married her partner in the U.S. – Watch the video

The couple made their relationship official through a civil ceremony

Newsroom October 11 11:33

Amalia Kostopoulou has married her beloved Jake Medwell. The couple made their relationship official by having a civil wedding in the United States, while their religious wedding is expected to take place in Greece in 2026.

The daughter of Petros Kostopoulos and Jenny Balatsinou shared a video from the ceremony on her personal Instagram account. In the clip she posted for her online followers, Amalia is seen wearing an off-white suit and sharing a tender kiss with her husband.

Back in February, Amalia had announced her engagement to her partner through a social media post. In June, the couple hosted a party in Hawaii, attended by her family. According to Amalia herself, the two met through a mutual friend.

“Jake is the first person who loved the parts of me I thought couldn’t be loved. We all have flaws—but in the eyes of the right person, those parts are treated with kindness, not judgment. His love made me feel truly seen and safe,” she had said in a TikTok post about her fiancé, who is active in multiple business ventures.
