JLS's Oritsé Williams marries fiancée Kazz Kumar in 'fairytale' wedding in Jamaica

JLS star Oritsé Williams has married his fiancé Kazz Kumar.

The couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Jamaica, with the X Factor singer saying the big day was "out of this world".

Oritsé, 35, revealed he decided to tie the knot in the Caribbean as it has a "special place" in both his and singer Kazz's heart.

"It was like a fairytale. I was looking around trying to take in all of the moments and savour them. Jamaica has a very special place in my heart.

"My mother's family is from Jamaica. It is an emotional, spiritual, sentimental location for me and for us both," Oritsé told Hello! Magazine.

The singer popped the question while he was touring with JLS during their Beat Again reunion shows last October.

The X Factor star told Hello! magazine at the time he staged an elaborate ruse for the surprise proposal at the Miskin Manor hotel near Cardiff, telling Kumar they were visiting for a Valentine-themed photoshoot with motorcycle company Harley-Davidson.

He said: “I went all in. I commissioned photographers, videographers and made up a timesheet and moodboards.

“Harley-Davidson were in on it too and provided the bikes and jackets and lanyards.”

He popped the question with a “one-in-a-universe” ring, telling the magazine: “I wanted to find a colour similar to Kazz’s favourite crystal, rose quartz, so I had a pink sapphire flown over from Sri Lanka, which is where her heritage is from.”

The couple first crossed paths on social media after Kazz slid into Oritse's DMs.

In his first interview detailing the romance, back in July 2020, Oritse said their relationship was "real" and "something genuine" without any "interference or distraction".

He told The Sun : “We’ve kept our relationship real. It was important for me that there was no interference or distraction and we could experience something genuine.

“We met through social media. She messaged me first. She knew what she wanted and came right for it. She’s amazing.”
