Ben and his new wife Louisa, who plays Ruby Allen in the BBC soap, enjoyed a sun-soaked honeymoon in Florence and returned just in time to catch the end of the UK heatwave.
And earlier today stylish Louisa, 32, was spotted in a pretty dress as she pushed their daughter Aura.
She flashed her pretty wedding ring which was easy to spot next to her sparkling diamond rock.
The soap star spent the afternoon with at a friend’s baby shower before returning to North London and posting about the lunch on Insatgram.
The couple said “I do” surrounded by family and co-stars in Tuscany earlier this month and celebrated their nuptials with a three-day party.
“I just felt relieved,” Louisa, 33, told OK! magazine.
“I felt like we had finally done it. It’s the same for any COVID bride. And I think we’re just so relieved. I remember us giggling at the alter, just thinking about how long it took to get us here.”
Ben, 31, added: “Yeah, we couldn’t stop giggling with tears in our eyes.”
Louisa looked like a princess in an off-white bespoke wedding dress that revealed her shoulders and back, and featured layers of chiffon, which she teamed with rose-gold blocked heels.
Ben complimented her dressed in a light grey three-piece suit made of a mix of linen, and a subtle cream – and a waistcoat that was a champagne colour.
He had eight groomsmen, including his best man Harry who he grew up with and who he hadn’t seen since before the pandemic.
“He’s a teacher in Hong Kong,” Ben explained.
“But because of the restrictions, I couldn’t see him for that whole time before the wedding. He planned the stag do he couldn’t attend, which is a weird thing!”
Their 10-month old daughter Aura was a flower girl and Louisa’s bridesmaid Robyn, who stunned in a dusty pink dress, carried her down the aisle.
“It was a case of whoever she’s not going to scream with on the day. She had a bowl of pasta afterwards! She was good,” Louisa said.
The wedding dinner took place in a beautiful cobbled courtyard decorated in lights and guests enjoyed Champagne risotto, stuffed pasta, Tuscan beef and millefoglie – traditional Italian cake, which is made of pastry, cream and fruit.
The night turned into “one hell of a party” indoors in the venue’s old wine cellar.
Louisa danced the night away with her EastEnders co-stars, including James Bye, who plays Martin Fowler, and Zaraah Abrahams, who played Chelsea Fox, and of course Lacey Turner who plays Stacey Slater.
“It was amazing to have her there. We’ve been friends since I was 15. So for us, both to now be grown-up women at my wedding with kids of our own felt really special. And for James and Zaraah to be there was just amazing too,” Louisa said.
