British pop star Gareth Gates is a married man — after getting wed to his long-term girlfriend Suzanne Mole in a secret ceremony.
The 24-year-old Pop Idol runner-up, who has been with dancer Suzanne for five years, proposed on New Years Eve. Gates’ spokesman confirmed the couple tied the knot Saturday.
Bradford-born Gates met Suzanne, who is from Newcastle, at the Record of the Year awards in 2002; and the first rumors of marriage surfaced two years later.
His speech therapist, who helped the star beat his stammer, was said to have been chosen as his best man.
When asked about marriage in April last year, Gareth said, “The way I have been brought up, that’s what it’s about for me.
“It doesn’t suit everybody, but for me life is about marriage, lots of children, a massive house.
“If that’s what my life is like, I will be happy.”
Gareth and Suzanne’s relationship was on the rocks at one stage when glamor model Jordan bragged in her autobiography that she had taken the pop star’s virginity.
After initially denying their three-month affair, Gates confessed.
The newly-weds live together in a three-bedroom apartment in south-west London.
