Emmerdale’s Isabel Hodgins Shares Details of Fairytale Wedding and Baby Plans
Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins is giving fans all the feels with an exclusive peek into her recent wedding day and her hopes for a family in the near future. The beloved soap actress, known for her role as Victoria Sugden, opened up warmly about her intimate ceremony with partner Adam Whitehead, sharing charming details that highlight love, friendship, and new beginnings.
A Star-Studded, Heartfelt Celebration
Isabel’s wedding was a cozy yet star-studded affair, attended by close friends and co-stars from Emmerdale, making it a truly special gathering. Bridesmaids included Eden Taylor Draper, who plays Belle Dingle, and Shannon Moran, Isabel’s longtime school friend. The actress described feeling both beautiful and emotional as she prepared for the big day, with her mum and bridesmaids helping keep nerves at bay.
“My dad came up, looked me up and down and just said, ‘Wow.’ If he’d started saying nice things, he would have sent me over the edge,” Isabel recalled with a laugh, underscoring the tender family moments that made the day memorable.
The ceremony itself was sprinkled with personal touches. Isabel and Adam exchanged vows they had written themselves, adding heartfelt authenticity to the occasion. “With the vows out of the way, the pair could relax,” she shared. The newlyweds then walked out to the uplifting anthem “A Sky Full Of Stars” by Coldplay — Adam’s favorite band — which perfectly set a magical tone.
Adam’s amusing recount of his first interaction with Isabel’s dad brought a smile: “He came up to me on that Monday morning and said, ‘How old are you?’ When I answered, he said ‘Thanks’ and walked off. There was no small talk. The day after, Isabel requested to follow me on Instagram and it started to make sense.” Clearly, the family chemistry was instant and real.
Love That Defies Age
When asked about their relationship, Isabel was candid about early worries concerning the couple’s age difference — Adam is 25 and Isabel 28. “At the start I made such a fuss about it,” Isabel admitted. “He thought I was going to break up with him over it! Now we’re married and it’s a non-issue.” Their story is a reminder that love transcends numbers, especially when built on mutual respect and understanding.
Looking Ahead: California and Family Dreams
The couple's future looks bright and full of plans. Isabel revealed they are gearing up for a big trip to California this summer, a chance to soak up sunshine and celebrate their new life together. But beyond travel, the actress revealed what really excites her: starting a family.
“If that happens, amazing. If it doesn’t, I’ll say that’s fine too, but I won’t really mean it,” she laughed. “My sister had two toddlers during lockdown. I moved in with them. I just loved it. I think I’m ready to have that myself now.”
Her openness about family aspirations has endeared her even more to fans, who appreciate the blend of vulnerability and hope that Isabel shares beyond the Emmerdale set.
A Day to Remember
Isabel Hodgins’ wedding to Adam Whitehead was a picture-perfect moment that combined close-knit friendships, loving family ties, and the thrill of a new chapter. With her Emmerdale family surrounding her and personal vows sealing their commitment, Isabel’s story is one of heartfelt authenticity and joy.
Whether on screen or off, Isabel continues to inspire — reminding us that real-life love stories can be just as captivating as those written for television.
