Former Premier League boss Russell Martin marries lads' mag icon Lucy Pinder

Former Premier League manager Russell Martin has tied the knot with glamour model and lads' magazine favourite Lucy Pinder.

Martin, who previously took charge of Southampton in the Premier League and most recently managed Rangers, reportedly exchanged vows with the former Page 3 model on Valentine's Day. The couple sealed their union with a kiss on Saturday.

Lucy and Martin have been together since 2024, with rumours first surfacing after they were seen together when Martin received an honorary degree from Brighton University — during his time in charge at St Mary's. The pair are also said to have turned heads at a Sky Sports corporate event.

Pinder rose to fame as a glamour model, becoming a regular feature in publications such as FHM, Nuts and Loaded throughout the early 2000s. She posed topless for Nuts and appeared multiple times on FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World" list — placing 16th in 2005, 35th in 2006, and 92nd in 2007. That same year, Ralph Magazine awarded her the title of "the best boobs in the world".

She gained wider recognition in 2009 as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, alongside stars including Ulrika Jonsson, La Toya Jackson, Tina Malone, Tommy Sheridan and Coolio. She was the first to be evicted, on day eight.

Pinder was also a regular on Soccer AM, often seen sporting a Southampton shirt. When news of their relationship emerged, a source told The Sun: "They're a match made in heaven — or at least in Southampton. They're mad for each other."

Martin is currently out of work following a difficult stint at Rangers. Appointed to lead the club into the 49ers era, he failed to secure Champions League qualification and was dismissed after just 17 games in charge, with the team sitting eighth in the Scottish Premiership table.
