And after tying the knot, Jackson admitted she was excited to "build a future" with her new husband.

She gushed to People magazine: "For me, [marrying Ed] means having a life partner to adventure with, to share love and support, to create a beautiful family and to have each other's backs throughout all of life's moments.

"It's about building a future together and creating endless memories, knowing that we are a team through it all."

Westwick added: "This all represents a new level of energy for a new adventure - the best one you can possibly have.

"I spent my life wondering who she would be, and then I found her."
