Who is Millie Henderson?

Millie Henderson is Dean Henderson's wife and the woman behind one of football's most talked-about weddings. The couple married at the spectacular Villa Miani in Rome, where Millie's love of extravagant floral arrangements and bold design transformed the venue into something extraordinary. The night's ultimate surprise was a live performance by Lewis Capaldi — who arrived in a white T-shirt and trainers, then took to the stage and had the entire room singing and dancing. Dean later texted the wedding planner a single line: 'I regret nothing.' Their son was born in August 2023, just two weeks before Dean signed permanently for Crystal Palace. Millie keeps a very low profile and does not maintain a public social media presence.

About Dean Henderson

Dean Henderson is Crystal Palace's first-choice goalkeeper and England's capable back-up to Jordan Pickford — a commanding shot-stopper from Whitehaven, Cumbria, who came through the Manchester United academy before finding his footing permanently at Crystal Palace. Married to Millie Henderson, the couple's lavish Rome wedding at Villa Miani featured a surprise performance by Lewis Capaldi — and Dean's text to the wedding planner that night said simply: 'I regret nothing.' Their son was born in August 2023, just two weeks before Dean signed for Crystal Palace. Off the pitch, Dean is known for his down-to-earth personality: after winning the 2025 Community Shield, he skipped the celebrations and instead bought everyone a round at a local Crystal Palace supporters' pub.
