Extravagant: The pair exchanged vows in the romantic setting under a flower arch as the ocean stretched out behind them before they then walked back down the aisle
The nuptials come 12 years after Ashley’s four year marriage to pop star Cheryl, 40, ended.
Sharon and Ashley share son Jaxon, six, and four-year-old daughter Grace, and the pair confirmed their engagement last year after they first met in 2014.
After Ashley popped the question last year, Sharon later told Instagram followers it was the ‘easiest yes she’d ever said’.
The couple met in 2014, shortly after his move to Roma from Chelsea, before relocating to Los Angeles two years later.
The pair exchanged vows in the romantic setting under a flower arch as the ocean stretched out behind them before they then walked back down the aisle.
A number of guests shared images and videos of the wedding on social media where Sharon stunned in a lace off the shoulder dress.
At the reception the newlyweds and their guests danced the night away as John Terry took hold of the microphone to lead a singalong.
A source told The Sun earlier this month about the wedding: ‘Ashley and Sharon are madly in love and have spent months planning their special day.
‘They met in 2014 when he joined AS Roma and now they are returning to the city for their nuptials.
‘Loads of her family live there and it’s very romantic – it’s going to be a very special day. They have put lots of money into it but they have only invited close friends and family.
‘As a couple they have been very private so they don’t feel the need for a flashy, public wedding.’
Sharon celebrated her final days as a single lady with an epic hen party in Ibiza last month.
The model soaked up the sun as she partied with a huge group of pals including reality star Sam.
Love: The couple said ‘I do’ abroad 16 months after Ashley proposed and 12 years after he ended his marriage to pop star Cheryl, 40
