"Yes, married."

Distinguished screen and stage actor Sir Patrick Stewart tweeted those two words Sunday, confirming that he and singer Sunny Ozell have wed. And along with the simple phrase, he posted a photo of the smiling couple submerged in a ball pit.

Friend and fellow X-Men star Sir Ian McKellen was at the helm of officiating duties at the ceremony, posting a photo of himself on his Facebook page with a "Minister" shirt and his Doctor of Divinity certificate. "I did my part," the Lord of the Rings actor captioned the picture.

The marriage to Ozell, 35, is the third for Stewart, 75, who has two children from his first marriage of 24 years to Sheila Falconer.

Wonder if he did a quadruple take when he saw Ozell walk down the aisle? After all, he did recently show off his proficiency for the comedy gag late last month in a video posted by Ozell in which he schools her in the finer points of acting. The couple has been together for five years.
