The third time’s a charm for Jamie Oliver and his wife, Jools, who have renewed their vows just one year after their second renewal in the Maldives.
Jamie and his wife, both 49, recently celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary, and marked the momentous occasion by visiting a Las Vegas church where they said ‘I do’ for the third time.
Taking to Instagram, the celebrity chef shared photos captured during the ceremony at Graceland Wedding Chappel which featured an appearance by an Elvis Presley impersonator.
Jamie wrote, ‘Happy 24th wedding anniversary @joolsoliver 24 years !!! Love you – Las vagus baby !! @gracelandweddingchapellv big love really good fun 🙏🏼 jamie xxx.’
Jools also made a post, writing, ‘Happy 24 crazy married years together. I love you so much, thank you for indulging my LOVE for Elvis.
‘I know this marriage has ‘3 people in it… but you get me like NO other!’ She added, ‘Just you wait and see what I have planned for our 25th @jamieoliver’.

Jamie could be seen wearing a grey suit, while Jools opted for a slightly more casual look and wore a white lace-detailed top along with a pair of skinny jeans and brown boots.
The carousel of photos included some adorable throwback snaps from their wedding in 2000 when they were being serenaded by an Elvis impersonator.
Throughout their more than two decades of marriage, the couple has welcomed five children together, Poppy, 21, Daisy, 20, Petal, 14, Buddy, 12, and River, seven.
Just last year, during a trip to the Maldives, they announced they had renewed their vows. Jamie appeared on The Graham Norton Show shortly after, where he opened up about why exchanging vows a second time was more important to him than the first.

Admitting it was his idea, he said, ‘Saying the vows a second time around actually meant something more – you’ve earned it rather than just saying it, and I loved it. It was actually a very nice thing to do, very romantic, and I ended up enjoying it more than anyone else.’

The chef jokingly told Alan Carr Chatty Man in 2012 that they ended up together because his now-wife felt sorry for him after seeing his car.
‘It was a double date, I had my Fiesta with lowered suspension and a sound system.
‘We were driving there that night, and then I went smashing into the back of another car.
‘[Jools] felt sorry for me. She thought “the way he drives, he needs support in life”.
