Leeds boxer Nicola Adams and girlfriend Ella Baig forced to deny wedding rumours

Former boxer Nicola Adams and her partner have been forced to clarify that they did not secretly get married while in Mexico.

The couple confused fans after posting a rather formal picture on social media which immediately prompted wedding rumours. In the picture, Nicola, 40, and model girlfriend Ella Baig, 23, look stunning in a suit and beige dress as they pose on the beach.

Nicola wrote underneath one picture: "Perfect Together." And then, under another one, she put: "I have you, you have me."

This is their first holiday abroad with their four-month-old Taylor. Fans got a little too excited and assumed the couple got hitched on Sunday.

However, they later clarified that the wedding wasn't theirs, the Mirror reports. Nicola said in a video: "So sorry for the confusion but on my last post me and Ella are not married. That was my friend's wedding."

Ella also followed up with a video on her Instagram stories, saying: "I would just like to remind everybody that me and Nicky are not engaged nor are we married."

It comes after Ella and Nicola opened up about their IVF journey and being mums for the first time. They used Nicola's egg, which was fertilised with a sperm donor who resembled Ella.

Nicola has previously described being a mum as the "most amazing thing that's ever happened". She said that watching Ella's body change and to see her give birth was "amazing".

Opening up about why they had decided upon Taylor's name, Nicola explained: "We had a few names in mind because we wanted to see what he looked like first to see if the name suited him. We didn’t want to get stuck on one name and have to think of a new one if it didn’t work."

At the time, the couple announced the birth of their son by sharing a sweet photo of his feet. Under the picture, they wrote: "We are so excited to announce to the world that @babyadamsadventures has arrived.

"The first moment we laid eyes on you we felt an instant love and the strongest bond. We went to the moon and back to get you and we can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives watching you grow".
