Republic of Ireland and Tottenham Hotspurs player Robbie Keane has whisked his new wife off for a romantic honeymoon in Italy after the pair tied the knot just over a week ago.

The football star and Claudine Palmer were spotted soaking up the sun at a luxury resort in Sardinia, the Irish model showing of her knock-out curves in a skimpy string bikini as she lounged by the pool.

The pair exchanged vows earlier this month in St Alphonsus and Columba's Church in Dublin in front of a star-studded guest list.

Among the guests were Irish footballers Damien Duffy, Shay Given, Gary Breen, Gary Kelly, Ian Harte and Richard Dunne. Tottenham Hotspur club mates Jermaine Jennas and Ledley King also attended.

Footballer Jamie Redknapp and his wife Louise rounded out the sports contingent, and caused a flurry of excitement among onlookers when they caught a glimpse of the pair.

Also joining in the celebrations were former Miss World Rosanna Davison and model Pippa O’Connor, with her presenter boyfriend Brian Ormond.

Robbie, 27, and Claudine booked out the entire Ritz Carlton for the event, and a huge marquee was erected on the picturesque grounds.

The pair grew up in Dublin and have been together for six years.
