The official press announcement with confirmation from Alex’s rep finally arrived after lots of speculation, unofficial news and rumors.
Alex is officially off the market.
We wish him happiness and good luck!
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and look back at how we got here:
At the GQ man of the Years awards in November 2011, Alex announced his relationship with his Hawaiian girl Malia.
“I have fallen for a beautiful Hawaiian woman, I’m a very lucky guy and very happy at the moment. She’s amazing.”
– Alex O’Loughlin, GQ Man of the Year Awards, 22 Nov 2011
The next time we saw them together was on the red carpet at the at the G’Day Gala on 14 January 2012. At around early February they became pregnant with their son Lion.
In March 2012, Alex booked into rehab to help him get over his pain-killer dependence. During this time there was a lot of speculation about their relationship. This was of course before they announced that they are expecting their son Lion. In May 2012 they attended the fundraiser at Malia’s son, Spike’s school.
In August 2012 it was announced that the couple are going to have a baby together and in an interview in September with HNN, Alex said that the baby boy will be there in 4 – 5 weeks. In September despite being far along in her pregnancy, Malia attended SOTB with Alex.
On October 25, 2012 the little Hawaiian boy Lion was born. Malia and the family attended some functions with Alex, but not many photographs of these occasions were allowed. They were together at the ‘Love the Ocean Fundraiser’ (in February) , the James Taylor concert (in April ) and at Egan’s boy’s birthday party (in May).
In September 2013 with the main Hawaii Five-0 event of the year – SOTB 4, the couple again posed for some photos.
In October 2013, Alex and Malia attended the ‘Australian In Film Awards’, where he received an award. It is clearly visible that Malia is wearing a large diamond ring on her ring finger. (And a lot of fan speculation about the meaning of it began, but without any official announcement to confirm anything)
And now it is official. they got hitched ……….
Any reason is a good reason for us (Paula and FOYeur) to drink!

We see the article does not have the date, but from the evidence we got, they got married yesterday – 17 April 2014
Thank you to @AlexOsplace on twitter for sharing this happy couple cutting the cake. Alex looks stunning! And of course Malia is very beautiful too 🙂

(The reports in most of the news article are so confusing and incorrect, we thought it might be good to just add all the detail of Alex and his family here)
Alex and his family:
Alex: Born – 24 August 1976 in Australia
Malia: Born – 27 March 1977 in California, USA
Saxon: (Alex’s oldest son) Born – July 1997 in Australia
(Alex and Saxon’s mother never married, but he grew up with her in Australia until he moved to Hawaii in Dec 2011 to live with his dad.)
Spike: (Stepson) Born – March 2009
(Spike is Malia’s first born, with her second husband the Australian surfer, Luke Stedman)
Lion: (Alex and Malia’s only child together) Born – 25 October 2012 in Honolulu Hawaii

we can see that Alex is wearing his Makau but what’s noticable is that Malia is not wearing her ‘diamond’ ring or a wedding band… strange because surely she’d be wearing one or the other!!!!

Awww what a loving couple they are… Am I correct to say in a recent interview Alex stated that Spike was his stepson, so getting married was to be the next step. Here’s to a long & happy life together….. a little sad he is now taken …. but hey life goes on…. ♡♥xx

Yes, in the interviews Alex did in Sept 2013 (one is in TV Plus https://alexoloughlinintensestudy.wordpress.com/media/old-articles/articles-2013/ ) He called Spike his stepson. The people who attended the ‘Self defence seminar’ in Nov also said that he said he had to get back home to the wife and kids – so in his mind this wedding was most probably just a formality of something already very real for him in his mind.
LikeLike
That’s right FOYeur.
At the seminar he talked about his wife and kids, how he tells them the same thing as they were teaching in that class: ” I’ve got three kids and a wife at home and I tell them to run, whatever you do, just run, get out of there as fast as you can”
