Sandra Barneda celebrates love with fiancée Pascalle Paerel as couple confirm wedding date

There are few moments more joyful than announcing a wedding, and Spanish television star Sandra Barneda has given fans another beautiful reason to celebrate after confirming the date she will marry her fiancée, Pascalle Paerel.

The beloved presenter shared a stunning collection of black and white photographs on Instagram, showing the couple laughing together, embracing on a tropical beach and enjoying one another’s company as they look ahead to their future together.

Alongside the images, Barneda wrote simply: “10.10.2026” followed by a white heart.

The date holds a very special meaning for the couple.

Just days earlier, Barneda and Paerel delighted fans by announcing their engagement with the heartfelt message:

“The most beautiful ‘I do’ of our lives is yet to come. We’re getting married.”

Now, Barneda has revealed that 10 October 2026 will be the day they officially say “I do”.

In an emotional caption, she explained that while they chose the date themselves, perhaps “the date found us”. She also reflected on the symbolism behind the numbers, saying many people believe they represent new beginnings, alignment and the courage to follow decisions made from the heart.

She concluded by writing that the date would now belong to them forever.

The announcement has prompted an outpouring of love from fans, friends and fellow celebrities, with thousands taking to Instagram to congratulate the happy couple and wish them every happiness for the future.

For LGBTQ+ communities across Spain and beyond, Barneda and Paerel have become one of Europe’s most admired couples. Their relationship has been celebrated not simply because they are both successful in their own fields, but because they have shared their journey with warmth, authenticity and genuine happiness.

Barneda is one of Spain’s biggest television personalities. Born in Barcelona, she has spent more than two decades in broadcasting, presenting some of the country’s most popular programmes. International audiences may recognise her as the host of La Isla de las Tentaciones, Spain’s hugely successful version of Temptation Island, while she is also an acclaimed novelist and was a finalist for the prestigious Premio Planeta literary award in 2020.

Paerel has enjoyed an equally impressive career in the arts. Originally from the Netherlands, she is a principal dancer with the Dutch National Ballet, one of Europe’s leading ballet companies. Alongside her work on stage, she holds a law degree and co-founded The Fashion Composers, a modelling and talent agency based in Amsterdam.

Although both women have successful careers, they have largely kept their relationship grounded and away from unnecessary attention, choosing instead to share only occasional glimpses into their life together. Those moments have resonated with thousands of followers, who have embraced the couple’s openness and unwavering support for one another.

The newly shared beach photographs perfectly capture that happiness.

One image shows Barneda beaming with laughter as Paerel wraps her arms around her, while another captures the pair smiling directly at the camera. Rather than polished publicity shots, the photographs feel natural and full of genuine affection, giving fans another glimpse into a relationship that continues to flourish.

The wedding announcement has also been widely celebrated as another positive moment for LGBTQ+ visibility in European entertainment. High profile same sex couples continue to inspire people around the world simply by living openly and sharing milestones that many can relate to, from engagements and weddings to building a life together.

Barneda and Paerel’s story is one of love, commitment and looking towards the future with optimism, and the response to their announcement reflects just how much goodwill surrounds them.
