It's been six months since Celebrity Treasure Island and BossBabes star Edna Swart married her hunky former landlord Reid Stephen in a glamorous Auckland ceremony, and the couple are just as smitten as ever. "We both married our best friend," she smiles.

The lovebirds, who tied the knot on their one-year anniversary in May, started married life in style, with the reality star and skincare entrepreneur planning a luxurious international honeymoon.

"We stayed for three nights in Rome, which was absolutely magical," shares Edna, 32. "Then we hired a little Mini and drove to the Amalfi Coast. It's famous as an Instagramable location, so it was definitely on my bucket list."

Positano, Praiano and Capri proved the perfect setting for the newlyweds' romantic getaway. "It was great jumping from beach to beach and cruising around on a scooter," recalls Reid, 27.

"It was the picture-perfect honeymoon," agrees his South African-born wife. "We didn't have any plans. We'd just go to an island, get on a boat, lay on a beach... It was phenomenal. Then after Italy, we decided to travel to Johannesburg since Reid hadn't met my birth mum yet."

Edna - who was adopted as a baby and later moved to New Zealand with her adoptive family - hadn't seen her biological mother Carien Lewis since 2019. Introducing her to her new husband during their reunion was a priceless moment for the influencer.
