AFL star Harry Himmelberg has tied the knot with his partner Taylia Sarris.
The couple married in a discreet ceremony at a wedding registry in Melbourne.
The 28-year-old GWS Giants defenseman, who is expecting his first child with Sarris in December, made their partnership official on Saturday.
Former teammate and current Tigers midfielder Tim Taranto and his partner Tash Hoole were witnesses at the wedding.
Himmelberg looked sharp in beige trousers and a crisp white T-shirt, while his fashion designer wife wore a white corset and white skirt for the occasion.
The newlyweds continued their celebration at the luxurious Entrecôte restaurant in Prahran.
Himmelberg and Sarris got engaged last year and are planning a real wedding party with family, friends and their daughter in 2025.
The couple planned to start their parenthood journey shortly after getting engaged in Paris last year, but Sarris suffered two miscarriages, including one just before her third pregnancy.

Taylia, a content creator and fashion stylist, told the Herald Sun she is worried about the birth of her daughter.
‘It’s quite scary, the whole process, until she’s born and we get to hold her. “I don’t think the fear will go away because you never know what could happen,” she said.
Harry told the publication that the “stigma” surrounding miscarriage is still very prominent and that doctors tell him it is very common to “ease their minds” during the heartbreaking process.

‘That was difficult, because you think this is not normal or because you panic. There are people who are much worse off than us and getting pregnant is a blessing,” he said.
According to the Australian Royal Women’s Hospital, up to one in five women will have a miscarriage before 20 weeks. Although the actual number is likely higher, including women who miscarry without knowing they are pregnant.
Taylia and Harry announced her pregnancy on Instagram three months ago, sharing a heartfelt video of a gender reveal where their two dogs ate a specially made cake to reveal pink frosting inside.
The footy star’s face broke into a toothy grin when he learned he would soon be a father to a baby girl and he leaned over to give Taylia a hug and a kiss on their sofa at home.
The brunette beauty was overcome with emotion and sobbed as she fell into his arms in relief and joy.
“Two becomes three,” she captioned the video, which also featured a snapshot of an ultrasound.
It comes a year after Harry got down on one knee during a rainy night in Paris to pop the question against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower.
