In an exclusive interview, Alexandra Burke disclosed her unique decision with her footballer fiancé Darren Randolph regarding their wedding day. The couple has agreed to only consume two alcoholic drinks each on the day of their nuptials to savor the memories and feel fresh afterwards. While this may not sound exciting to future guests, Alexandra wants to ensure that nothing spoils their big day. Darren proposed during a candlelit dinner at London’s Rosewood Hotel, creating a special moment for the couple living in an “engagement bubble” with their two children. They hope to expand their family in the future, making the proposal even more special.
The singer revealed their decision to limit their alcohol intake on their wedding day, mentioning that she wants to remember the entire day and be fresh the next day. Alexandra explained that they don’t want to be drunk and want to enjoy all the food at the wedding. Her approach may not be traditional or exciting, but it aligns with their goals for the day. Despite not having dreamt of a big white wedding, Alexandra values having her family and close friends around her to celebrate the special occasion. Her relationship with Darren evolved naturally, leading her to believe he was the one as soon as they met.
While she is used to performing, Alexandra can’t imagine singing at her own wedding as it can be a stressful day for the bride. Having given birth to two children in quick succession, she and Darren are enjoying parenthood and are open to expanding their family in the future. Alexandra loves being a mother and values the chaos and rewards that come with it. She credits Darren’s support for making juggling work and motherhood easier. They are both open to having a big family in the future, drawing from their different family backgrounds.
Partnering with Haliborange, Alexandra is involved in a campaign to inspire children to dream big through a two-day workshop in London. Reflecting on her childhood, the actress recalls watching her first theatre show and receiving advice from her late mother to reach for the stars. The campaign encourages children to sing, dance, and explore their talents to keep their creativity and aspirations alive as they grow older. Alexandra views her involvement as a privilege, especially considering the impact of her first theatre experience on her life and the support she received from her mother.
With Haliborange focusing on promoting healthy habits for children and adults and Disney encouraging dreaming big, the Theatre of Dreams workshop offers a unique opportunity for kids to explore their talents and aspirations. The event aims to inspire young children to pursue their dreams and achieve their potential. Alexandra’s involvement in the campaign aligns with her upbringing and values of never giving up on one’s dreams and always reaching for the stars. The free workshop offers a chance for children to unleash their creativity and curiosity, setting the stage for future success and growth.
