It’s been 10 years since the former Bafana Bafana legend and Manchester United coach Benni McCarthy said “I do” (in a Scottish kilt!) to former Miss Edinburgh, Stacey Munro. Benni took to Instagram on Friday to profess his love to his leggy blonde wife on the special milestone in their marriage. “Happy 10th anniversary my love Stacey.
Love you,” the soccer star coach who grew up on the Cape Flats in Hanover Park, captioned the post. Wedding bliss: Benni and Stacey McCarthy The couple got married 10 years ago on 24 May 2014 in a lavish soccer-themed wedding ceremony in Stacey’s hometown of Edinburgh. McCarthy flied his family and friends all the way from South Africa to share in his special day which even included fireworks.
.. Love at first sight The couple met during the filming of a Nike advert in Edinburgh in 2008.
Stacey was a model at the time and McCarthy confessed that he was smitten from the moment he laid eyes on the blonde beauty. “I went there on a shoot and she was one of those pretty girls they have as extras. I couldn’t concentrate on what I was supposed to do,” he shared with Daily Star in 2013 when the couple got engaged.
Proud father of five McCarthy is the father of five children. In 2000, the football player McCarthy married Spanish artist Maria Santos, whom he met after he moved to Spain to play for Celta Vigo. They have three daughters: Minna, Miya and Allegra.
He shares a 12-year-old daughter, Lima Rose, and four-year-old son, Lio Romero.
