Love was in full bloom on Friday, 1 August, as former Home and Away actor Lukas Radovich married his partner, Australian men’s netball captain Liam Forcadilla, in a stunning Sydney ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and a few familiar TV faces.
The 30-year-old actor — who joined Home and Away in 2017 before leaving in 2022 — tied the knot in a ballroom setting, with their first dance as husbands performed under a spotlight to Taylor Swift’s Lover.
“You can hear the love in the room,” the newlyweds captioned a video of the moment, shared on Instagram.
Among the guests was Radovich’s former co-star Emily Weir, who described the wedding as a privilege to witness:
“We laughed, we cried, we danced our heads off. A day full of love.”
Actress Ebony Nave echoed the sentiment, writing, “Lukas and Liam got married and everyone cried!”
The pair, who met on Tinder in 2020, became engaged in February 2024. Radovich has since updated his Instagram name to Lukas Forcadilla-Radovich.
Speaking in 2023, Radovich credited Liam for helping him feel confident to speak publicly about his sexuality:
“I definitely think when I was in my young twenties, I was still discovering myself. Now I feel comfortable enough to be able to talk about it. The last five years have been quite a big journey for me; one, because of Home and Away, but also too coming into my own sense of self.”
Liam Forcadilla: Leading On and Off the Court
Forcadilla, the captain of Australia’s Fast5 men’s netball team, made headlines in November 2024 after responding to homophobic backlash over the team’s pre-match dance to NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye during the Fast5 World Series.
Despite the noise, Australia went on to claim the title for a third time against New Zealand.
At the time, Forcadilla described the criticism as “baffling” and a sign of fragile masculinity:
“We’ve got a great culture in the Australian men’s netball community. We’re all very secure within ourselves. Everyone is supportive.
Part of it is because the vast majority of our population still don’t know that men’s netball is a thing, even though we’ve been around for 40 years.
It’s not so much that the comments are upsetting. It’s more that we strive to be ambassadors and custodians of the game, and we don’t want anything to detract from our play.”
