Bradley Riches and Scott Johnson just proved that love is the real showstopper. The Heartstopper heartthrob and his fiancé had their fairytale moment on Wednesday (April 8th), exchanging vows at the picturesque Lillibrooke Manor in Maidenhead. Surrounded by their nearest and dearest (and a few famous faces), the newlyweds’ intimate ceremony felt more like a red carpet event than a quiet wedding—but we’re so here for it.

The ceremony was practically dripping in glam, with Celebrity Big Brother stars David Potts and ZeZe Millz in attendance, and drag queen Tiana Biscuit giving a performance that made everyone question why they hadn’t booked her for their own wedding. Oh, and did we mention two-time Olivier Award-nominee Marisha Wallace graced the event with her voice? It’s like they said, “Why have a normal wedding when you can have a whole spectacle?”
The cherry on top? Bradley and Scott shared their officially married news with the world on Instagram the next day, with the cheeky caption: “Mr & Mr Johnston-Riches 08.04.26.” (Take notes, people. If you’re gonna drop a wedding post, make it snappy.)
Love at First Petal
Bradley and Scott’s love story had us all swooning long before the wedding bells rang. The couple got engaged in April 2024, during a romantic Italian getaway in Sorrento, right after Bradley made his Celebrity Big Brother exit. Was there a dramatic rose-petal proposal involved? You bet. Bradley’s Instagram post shared the official engagement photo—a snapshot of him and Scott surrounded by rose petals, arranged in a heart shape (how extra, we love it). Bradley wrote, “I never thought I’d find someone who gets me and loves me for me.”
Cue the collective awwww as we all wish we could find our own Scott, who clearly made Bradley feel safe, loved, and finally seen. Love really does exist—especially when it’s this adorable.
The Celeb Love Parade
Naturally, the wedding was an event to remember, with a host of Heartstopper castmates, Doctor Who royalty, and The Traitors winners all chiming in to send their congratulations. Heartstopper co-star Tobie Donovan, Doctor Who legend Russell T Davies, and The Traitors victor Stephen Libby were among the first to shower the couple with love—and honestly, who could blame them? This is Bradley Riches and Scott Johnson we’re talking about. A power couple in the making.
In one of their recent wedding snaps, the couple captioned, “Happily ever afters do exist.” Call us romantics, but we’re absolutely buying into this one. If that’s not a sign of love’s true power, what is?
What’s Next for Bradley?
While we’re all still recovering from this #couplegoals moment, Bradley’s also busy carving out a major career. He’s currently starring as Lewis Barton on Emmerdale (so, you know, the drama’s only just begun), and fans of Heartstopper have something to look forward to: Heartstopper Forever is officially coming to Netflix in 2026. It’s like the universe knew we needed more Bradley (and Scott) in our lives—and we couldn’t agree more.
So here’s to Bradley and Scott—the couple that makes us believe in love, fairytales, and just a little bit of celebrity glam. May your forever be as fabulous as your wedding was. We can’t wait to see what comes next.
