Sting’s daughter Fuschia Kate Sumner has tied the knot!
Over the weekend, the 43-year-old actress, who goes by Kate, married her longtime partner, Max Wright, during a weekend wedding celebration in Noto, Sicily — and the couple had their 1-year-old son by their side for the occasion.
Kate shared a series of photos and videos of the nuptials on her Instagram Stories, and wrote that the glamorous weekend was „the most fun three days of our lives.“
„We did it!“ she declared in one post, alongside a selfie of herself and Wright standing on a Sicilian beach at night. „The most fun three days of our lives! Wedding spam incoming, once we’ve slept for at least 12 hours.“
Sting shares Kate — along with son Joe, 48 — with his ex-wife, Northern Irish actress Frances Tomelty, 76. He is also dad to four other kids — Mickey, 41, Jake, 40, Eliot, 34, and Giacomo, 29 — whom he shares with wife Trudie Styler.

For her wedding ceremony, Kate wore a tulle, off-the-shoulder gown with her initials embroidered on it. Photos show the bride twirling in her voluminous dress, and Kate’s sister Mickey shared some footage of her getting-ready process on her own Instagram account.
„The most beautiful bride,“ Mickey, who also served as the maid of honor, wrote of her sister.
„I love you so much!“ Kate replied to her sister in an Instagram comment, before praising her maid of honor speech: „Best speech ever!!! 🥹🥹🥹.“

According to the Daily Mail, proud dad Sting delivered a celebratory speech at the reception, and guests described it as both heartfelt and funny. The rocker, 73, joked that he didn’t know what to make of Wright when they first met, but quickly realized that he was a „lovely chap.“

Photographs shared on Instagram by the couple’s wedding planners, designers and more offered glimpses of the massive, Sicilian-inspired buffet, which included seafood, vegetables and Italian treats, as well as the stunning red, white and pink table settings. All of the guests sat family-style at long tables to celebrate the nuptials.
Sting (born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner) and first wife Tomelty welcomed Kate, their second child together, in April 1982 in London. Kate went on to graduate from the University of the West of England with a degree in English literature and drama.

While the „Fields of Gold“ singer’s oldest son, Joe, followed in his footsteps by pursuing music, Kate became an actress like her mom. Over the years, she has starred in several movies and television shows, including Being Michael Madsen and Saving Mr. Banks.
In an Instagram tribute for her father’s 70th birthday in October 2021, Kate called Sting the „hardest working man“ she knows, adding, „He never stops, ever! I’ve been smiling ear to ear watching him play with the Parthenon in view these past two nights…LOVE YOU DAD.“
