Alan Rickman has revealed he has married his highschool sweetheart after 50 years together.
The 69-year-old actor and director has been in a relationship with Rima Horton, 68, since they met when he was 19 and she was 18, and they have lived together in London for 50 years.
But Alan has now revealed to German newspaper Bild that they recently tied the knot in secret.
Asked by the reporter what the secret was to his successful relationship, even though he wasn’t married, Alan replied: “We are married, just recently.
“It was great because no one was there. After the wedding in New York, we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and ate lunch.”
The A Little Chaos star apparently revealed he gave his new wife a simple 200 dollar (£130) gold band that “she never wears.”
There was a mixed reaction from fans on Twitter.
Many people thought it was adorable news.
Others were heartbroken to find out Alan is now officially off the market.
And this user revealed her friend had REALLY overreacted to the news.
