And if you are wondering if it was anything as macabre as a bloody GoT wedding, it was not. Some friends, however, made their presence felt making it a perfect reunion of all the ‘houses’ from the show — the Lannisters, Starks, Targaryens, et al.

According to news reports, Headey, 49 — who was previously married to musician Peter Loughran from 2007 to 2013, and with whom she shares a 12-year-old son Wylie — began dating Ozark star Menchaca in 2020.

The two got married in a beautiful ceremony held in Italy, pictures of which were shared on social media. The bride kept it simple and classy in a white satin gown with a plunging V-shaped neckline. The dress featured thin shoulder straps; she accessorised with flowers that she wore on her head.

She also wore the traditional veil and carried a bouquet of flowers; Menchaca, on the other hand, wore a navy-blue suit and looked super sharp and dapper.

The wedding ceremony, which purportedly took place last week, was attended by some of Headey’s coworkers-turned-friends Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke, Michelle Fairley, Sophie Turner and her husband Joe Jonas.
