They started falling for each other and hence started dating.
The couple's marriage
After nearly two years, they engaged after Gary proposed her with an eye-catching diamond ring in 2008. Soon after a year of their engagement, they married in 2009 in a very private and intimated ceremony with the presence of only two witnesses.
Whereas, the reception was damn grand and lavish with the almost expenditure of $300 thousand in the luxurious Hotel Caruso.
Even their age difference is very high as she is 19 years younger it did not stop them to be together.
They do not have Children
Danielle already has a child named, Ella from her previous relationship with a footballer named, Adam Wills. She was desiring her own child from Gary but he did not want any child which later became an issue for their divorce.
So, the couple together has no children but had their own children from their previous relationship.
