Jade Goody's widower Jack Tweed has shared that he remembers their wedding "like it was yesterday". Jack, now 37, married Big Brother winner Jade in February 2009. A month later, Jade, who was 27, passed away after having been diagnosed with cervical cancer, which then spread to her liver, bowel and groin, the previous year.
Over the years since then, Jack has paid tribute to Jade, whom he's described as his "angel," and he reflected on their nuptials on the weekend. He's said to have marked the 16th anniversary of their wedding in a post on social media. He posted on his Instagram Story, writing on the platform: "16 years ago this day was remember it like yesterday." The post included a heart emoji and another depicting a wing. Jack's mother Mary Tweed commented on his recent post, saying that he 'never missed a year' of marking the occasion.
Jack has previously spoken about having "felt guilty" over the prospect of having another relationship following Jade's death. He's now in a new relationship and said last year that he "never thought" that he would find love again. Speaking about his romance with Ellie Sargeant, whom he'd already been dating for over two years by then, he told the Mirror in March last year: "I feel like I've found love once more. I've taken my time - I couldn't rush." He also hinted at the prospect of having children, as well as marriage. Jack said at the time: "Children would be amazing, it's something me and Ellie are thinking about.".
He went on to discuss having been a stepparent to Jade's song Bobby Brazier, now 21, and Freddy Brazier, 20, whom she shared with her ex-partner Jeff Brazier, now 45. Jack said: "It's been a privilege to be a stepdad to Bobby and Freddie. I'm so proud seeing them in the limelight - they're natural at it. They remind me so much of Jade.".
Months later, Jack announced that he and his partner Ellie were expecting a baby together. It was revealed that he's set to become a parent in July last year. He expressed his excitement to the Sun, saying at the time: "I've always wanted kids" He added: "I've always felt guilty all my life about it, even talking to other girls and stuff like that. But now I finally I think I've accepted it, and I don't feel that guilt anymore, really, about it.".
