Rugby league star Kieran Foran and his new wife have posted heartfelt messages to each other just days after the footy player's ex-girlfriend took a swipe at the newlyweds.

Foran, 28, married mother-of-six Karina Ormsby, 39, at Avoca, north of Sydney, on Saturday.

The NRL star split with his former partner Rebecca Pope in 2016 when their son Jordan was just three weeks old. They also have a four-year-old daughter, Emmerson.

Ms Pope shared a poem to Instagram on the day of Foran's wedding, appearing to take a swipe at the way she was treated during their relationship breakdown.

'I think it's brave that you get up in the morning when your heart aches and life is messy and you do not feel like being soft for the world,' the poem read.

'I think it is brave that you continue to love, and express, and open your soul, despite the way you were treated in the past.'

Foran and his wife have since shared romantic photos from their nuptials.

Foran and Ms Pope's relationship breakdown played out on social media in 2016.

Ms Pope described herself as a 'single mother' dealing with a 'completely and utterly challenging' life.

'Having to deal with a newborn, a relationship/family breakdown through no choice of my own, the kids being sick constantly and renovating and getting ready to move houses... I feel like I haven't ever caught a break,' she said.

'But today I thank my lucky stars for these two beautiful kids in my life and the journey we have ahead.'

Before the wedding, Foran said Ms Ormby helped turn his life around.

'Life has just been so good away from footy and Karina has played a big part in turning my life around,' he told the Sunday Telegraph.

'I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to so many good times ahead.'

Foran has signed a two-year contract to return from New Zealand and play for the Canterbury Bulldogs to be closer to his two young children.

He walked away from a $5million deal with the Parramatta Eels in 2016.

He was stood down from the team due to 'personal issues' and was reportedly hospitalised after overdosing on prescription medication.
