Dame Joan Collins is celebrating a joyful moment as her son, Alexander “Sacha” Newley, tied the knot over the weekend in a picturesque lakeside castle in Salzburg, Austria. The 92-year-old Dynasty star dazzled attendees with her elegant caped outfit in powder blue, which featured a knee-length skirt and a square neckline, completed with a stylish matching oversized hat and beige suede pumps.
Sacha, the son of Collins and the late actor Anthony Newley, exchanged vows with American singer Sheela Raman, 41, amidst breathtaking mountainous views, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The bride wore a stunning semi-sheer lace dress for the occasion, which encapsulated the love and warmth shared by the couple.
Reflecting on their wedding day, Sheela expressed her joy on Instagram, stating, “What a gift to stand side-by-side, surrounded by our beloved friends and family, as we step into this new chapter together. Our wedding day was more than a celebration; it was a reflection of the creative life we’re building together, full of music, laughter, and love, and our little girl, who makes every day more glorious as she blossoms.”
The reception was filled with enchantment as guests enjoyed a beautifully decorated table adorned with pink and orange flowers. The newlyweds showcased their musical talents by serenading each other on stage before dancing together for the first time as a married couple. Joan described the event as “a magical three days.”
Joan Collins herself has quite the history when it comes to marriage, having been married five times. Her journey includes her second marriage to Sacha’s father, Anthony Newley, along with previous unions with Irish actor Maxwell Reed, businessman Ron Kass, and Swedish singer Peter Holm. She currently shares a happy marriage with Percy Gibson, whom she wed in 2002, and has expressed her firm belief in the institution of marriage despite her multiple experiences. “I believe in marriage – which is why I’ve done it five times – and I finally have a wonderful marriage,” she shared in a documentary interview.
This recent wedding not only marks a new chapter for Sacha and Sheela but also reflects the enduring spirit of love and family in Joan Collins’ life.
