They admittedly had a rocky start to their romance when Angellica Bell left her first husband to be with Michael Underwood.
But the TV presenter couple managed to have a fairytale ending as they tied the knot in a surprise ceremony in snow-bound New York City on Monday.
Bell and Underwood, who currently present game show The Zone together, wed in a penthouse suite at the top of the Trump SoHo Hotel in Manhattan.

Former GMTV showbiz correspondent Underwood, 35, wore a Vivienne Westwood tartan suit while his bride, 34, looked stunning in a white Twenties-style wedding dress.
The couple arrived in the Big Apple last Wednesday and decided it would be romantic to marry in the same city where they got engaged.
Underwood enthused: 'Having got engaged in New York last year, we thought it would be fitting to get married in the same place.'
Writing on her Facebook page, Bell said: 'You can call me Mrs Underwood... It was a magical day.'

She later added on her Twitter page: 'Yes, the rumours are true. As of yesterday I became MRS UNDERWOOD.'
Their marriage comes six months after they moved into a £915,00, six-bedroom house in Kingston upon Thames in South West London.
Underwood and Bell first met in 2000 when she joined Children's BBC as a presenter.
They remained good friends, but Bell went on to fall in love and marry personal trainer Stuart Amory in January 2007.

 
However, Bell later claimed she was having problems with Stuart after a few months of marriage before leaving him in July 2008.
Weeks after their split, Bell admitted she was in a relationship with Underwood after they were photographed kissing in a London park.
She said at the time: 'It's very sad that Stuart and I are over.
'It's early days, but Michael and I are together. Obviously, Stuart is very hurt, but he's such a great guy, I hope we can both move on.
'Stuart is not happy about Michael and this situation - but it just didn't work.'
Bell admitted Underwood had actually told her about his feelings for her a few months before her lavish wedding in a Scottish castle.
She recalled: 'A couple of months before I got married, he expressed how he felt.
'It was really hard but we decided it would be best if he stayed out of the picture, I wanted to give my marriage a real go, I was in love.'
Last year, the couple took part in ITV gameshow Mr And Mrs to show how well they knew each other.
Difficult split: Bell left first husband Stuart Amory in summer 2008 after 18 months of marriage to be with Underwood, who she had known from their CBBC days in the early Noughties
