Sean Penn has confirmed that he has married 28-year-old actress Leila George in a secret lockdown wedding.
Appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday, the 59-year-old Oscar winner confirmed that he and George did have a very private wedding ceremony at their home last Thursday.
Flashing his wedding band to the camera while on a video link, Penn said: "Yeah, we did a COVID wedding. By that, I mean it was a county commissioner on Zoom and we were at the house, my two children and her brother, and we did it that way."
Check out Penn's interview with Meyers below:However, despite the ongoing pandemic causing a lot of stress for engaged couples right now, Penn did admit that there were some "socially liberating factors" when it came to having a wedding in the current climate.
Their secret marriage was seemingly accidentally outed by friend Irena Medavoy - who is also the wife of Black Swan producer Mike Medavoy - after she posted a message of congratulations to Instagram.
Medavoy captioned the post: "We are so happy for @leilageorge #seanpenn getting married.
"We love you. Thank you for being like family a son to mike we are over the moon to find your soul mate true partner @coreresponse true love that also changes the world for better.
"You are meant to be together God Bless you both and the family you have joined. Introducing the Penn’s #marriage."
However, not long after Irena announced the happy nuptials to the world, the post was mysteriously deleted (awkward).
And in a now-deleted Instagram story, Medavoy also shared a snap of what looks like Penn and George's wedding bands, captioning the snap: "Congratulations we love you".
Per The Mirror, Leila the daughter of Jurassic World star Vincent D'Onofrio - who is just one year older than Penn.
Fans of Penn will remember that he was previously married to pop legend Madonna and actress Robin Wright. He has two children with Wright, born in 1991 and 1993.
And according to news.com.au, the actor has also been romantically linked to Charlize Theron, Susan Sarandon, and Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern.
At least we can now say congratulations to the happy couple!
