Bride in viral $56M ‘wedding of the century’ reveals she’s pregnant as husband faces charges for allegedly shooting at cops
NY Post ^ | 1/15/25 | Nicholas McEntyre

The Texas heiress who went viral for her $59 million Parisian “wedding of the century” is expecting her first baby with her felony-suspect husband, who is facing time behind bars for allegedly shooting at three cops.

Madelaine Brockway shared the life-changing news on Instagram showing off an extravagant cake at her recent gender reveal party in Paris, France.

“18 weeks with our bean,” she wrote, tagging her husband Jacob LaGrone.

Brockway, the heir to several Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Florida, chowed down on a pink piece of cake, celebrating her unborn baby girl, photos showed.

The soon-to-be-dad, however, is in the middle of a court battle as he faces charges for felony aggravated assault against a public servant stemming from a March 2023 police shooting.

Police reported to a home in Tarrant County Texas after receiving multiple calls of a disturbance at the couple’s $1.4 million home following a night out, the Daily Mail reported.

The then-engaged couple’s fight spilled into the driveway before Brockway fled to her parents’ nearby home.

Bob Brockway, Madelaine’s father, went to the couple’s house and called for police to conduct a wellness check on LaGrone.

The couple got married weeks after the felony indictment.

Heard a story back in the day where the widow threw flowers at the casket and exclaimed, "At least I know where you'll be tonight!"

[$1.4 million home]

$1.4 million home but $59 million spent on the wedding?

I’d have spent it the other way, but that’s just me.

A 1.4 million dollar home is not what it used to be.

A plea deal for 25 years? Murderers don’t get 25 years. Something is very very off with that. 2.5 years maybe but not 25.

Obviously, daddy has been WAY too indulgent with this little princess. Spending that on a wedding is ridiculous. Also....good choice in men sweetie. Looks like you’ve picked a real winner.

I would have bought a nice little 45’ yacht and not married the chick. No woman is worth that amount of Ching.

The more extravagant the wedding the shorter the marriage lasts has been noted on this forum before. Something to do with the marriage not living up to the weddings standards or the honeymoon is over very quickly.

I’m reminded of the line from Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”:

“It turns out he wasn’t really where it’s at...after he took from you everything he could steal.”

My wife is worth it, in part because she would not throw away a fortune like that, even if we had it to blow.

He might be the only guy able to stand being with her more than 5 minutes.

I guess selling cars is pretty lucrative.

I'm just like your wife. I would keep that money in the bank. Maybe use some of it for real estate, investments ... something more important than a party, that's for sure.
