Petra and Sam, 38, and her four children recently arrived in London from their home in California for the ceremony which will take place at a secret location.
Petra’s father, former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, told FEMAIL: ‘They’re getting married this weekend, somewhere in London. I don’t know the exact location because Petra hasn’t told me yet.
‘It’s wonderful news. Let’s hope she will be happier than she was in her last marriage.’
Petra, who is worth an estimated £350 million, divorced businessman James Stunt in 2017 after six years of marriage, and has since had her youngest child Millie, 18 months, with Sam who is chief of a recruitment company.

‘I will of course be going but won’t be making a speech because I only make comments.’
Mr Ecclestone, 91 added: ‘My comment on Petra’s forthcoming marriage is that I think she’s chosen a good guy.
‘I don’t know Sam very well because they live in the States and I don’t see them very often.
‘I’ve met him a few times and like him. Hopefully, I’ll get to know him a little better.

Former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is set to be charged with fraud by false representation ‘after failing to declare £400m worth of assets held overseas’
Former F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone is to be charged over an alleged £400m fraud following an HMRC probe.
The CPS has authorised the action over allegations of fraud by false representation.
It follows what HMRC called a ‘complex and worldwide criminal investigation’.
Andrew Penhale, Chief Crown Prosecutor, said: ‘The CPS has reviewed a file of evidence from HMRC and has authorised a charge against Bernard Ecclestone of fraud by false representation in respect of his failure to declare to HMRC the existence of assets held overseas believed to be worth in excess of £400m.
‘The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are now active and that they have a right to a fair trial.
‘It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.’
‘They’ve just recently got back to England for the ceremony and I’m looking forward to going to their wedding and meeting up with them.’
Bernie admitted he was not involved in any of the arrangements for the wedding, which is being organised by events company Banana Splits, and had ‘no idea’ how big or lavish it would be.
He said: ‘I don’t know any of the details. I just know that I’ve got to be there this weekend.
‘I’m waiting for Petra to call me to give me all the information.’
The couple live in a lavish home in Los Angeles and Sam regularly posts pictures of their family life on social media.
Following her divorce from James, it was reported that he had signed a £16m prenup, with Petra also awarded sole custody of the couple’s three children: twins Andrew Kulbir and James Robert Frederick, 6, and Lavinia Stunt, 9.
Petra and Sam, who is a former used car salesman from Essex, met in late 2017 through her brother-in-law Jay Rutland, who is married to her sister Tamara.
As the couple built a new life in the US, last year it was reported that Petra had submitted legal documents to change her children’s surname from Stunt to her own.
The move was supported by her father who has publicly criticised her ex-husband in the past.
Mr Ecclestone added: ‘I’m sure Sam is a lot better than Petra’s ex-husband.’
It has been reported that the children call Sam ‘dad’, and he has spoken candidly in the past about his fractious relationship with Petra’s ex-husband and baby daddy James, who has often hit back.
The couple live in an £18.5 million ($22 million) in Los Angeles which Petra purchased in 2019 after selling her more luxurious US home for a mouth-watering £101 million ($119.7).
