Welsh rugby star Rhys Webb marries childhood sweetheart in stunning ceremony at Hensol Castle

Wales rugby star Rhys Webb has married his childhood sweetheart Delyth.

The pair tied the knot in a wedding ceremony at Hensol Castle on Saturday, with Ospreys scrum-half Webb confirming the news on social media on Monday.

Writing on his official Instagram account, Webb said: "My beautiful wife.

"Such a special day celebrating it with our amazing families.

"Thank you everyone for all your help."

The pair have three sons together - Regan, Jessie and Remy.

In 2019, Webb put his family first when he negotiated an early release from his contract in Toulon after his young sons struggled to settle into life in France.

In the January of that year, Delyth and their three sons returned to Wales. Webb joined them a year later when he left the French club with immediate effect, spending time at Bath before returning to his old region the Ospreys that summer.

He said at the time: "I have loved my time in Toulon but it's a relief to come home to the Ospreys, it's where my family are, where I was brought up, and where rugby all started for me.

"To return to play for my home region again is just really special for me and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to do that again."

Webb - who has won 33 caps for Wales - last played for his country against England in November 2020.

That appearance came a week after the scrum-half scored a try in Wales' Autumn Nations Cup triumph over Georgia at Parc y Scarlets.

He had been in fine form for the Ospreys and was looking to impress head coach Wayne Pivac in a match against the Dragons back in March but suffered an injury that required surgery and ended his hopes of a Wales recall.

Webb did, however, return for the Ospreys' final game of the season against Connacht.
