Manly Sea Eagles captain Tom Trbojevic has officially tied the knot, marrying his long-term partner Kristi Wilkinson in a picturesque ceremony on the New South Wales coast.
A Secluded Coastal Celebration
The wedding took place at the exclusive Jackson Ranch by Bannisters in Bawley Point, a secluded venue set on 37 acres just off the NSW coastline. The 29-year-old rugby league superstar, recently confirmed as Manly's new captain, looked dapper in a slick tuxedo with a white boutonniere. His bride, Kristi, the founder of the fashion and design brand Tekai, was radiant in a stunning white gown and flowing veil.
Upon arrival at the reception, the happy couple were cheered by friends and family, with Kristi beaming from ear to ear. In a memorable moment, they stepped up to a pyramid of champagne glasses and together poured a magnum bottle of Veuve Clicquot, creating a cascading waterfall of bubbles for their guests.
From Bali Getaway to Disco Celebrations
The romance between Trbojevic and Wilkinson began after they were introduced by a mutual friend in 2021. They announced their relationship on Instagram a year later, with the Manly fullback proposing in 2024. Ahead of the big day, the couple enjoyed a pre-wedding getaway to Bali in September, a trip that coincided with Trbojevic finalising a contract extension that will keep him at the Sea Eagles until the end of 2027.
After dinner, the celebration transformed into a lively party. Kristi changed into a sequinned dress and donned a white cowgirl hat, later seen singing and dancing while sitting on her new husband's shoulders. The festivities followed Kristi's stylish 'Pilates and Prosecco' hen party earlier in the month on Sydney's northern beaches.
NRL Off-Season Wedding Season
Trbojevic is the latest in a string of NRL stars to exchange vows during the competition's off-season. He follows recent weddings including Penrith Panthers star Isaah Yeo in November, Cronulla Sharks centre Jesse Ramien, and Wests Tigers' Jack Bird.
The wedding marks a joyous personal milestone for Trbojevic as he prepares to lead the Sea Eagles into the new NRL season, having secured his future at the club for the coming years.
