Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has married her American football player boyfriend Tom Brady in a low-key ceremony.
The 28-year-old model tied the knot with New England Patriots quarterback Tom, 31, at St Monica's Church in the LA beachside suburb of Santa Monica on Thursday evening.
Among the guests at the service were Tom's parents Tom Snr and Galynn and his 18-month-old son John Edward Thomas Moynahan.
The bride walked down the aisle in a Dolce & Gabbana ivory lace strapless gown with a floor-length veil and was followed by her three dogs wearing D&G lace collars, Us Weekly magazine reported.
Following the service, the wedding party returned to Gisele and Tom's Brentwood home for a party.
Their wedding comes after the couple repeatedly denied they were even engaged.
Last month, Gisele said: 'Someone deduced I was getting engaged. I don't know how people are so creative.'
Speaking last week, Tom reiterated: 'All those reports are, unfortunately, not true. But I'm in a great spot in my life.'
The couple are thought to have got engaged on a Christmas Eve flight, when Tom presented Gisele with a diamond solitaire ring.
Despite their denials, Gisele's engagement ring was clearly on show as she partied in her native Brazil during Rio de Janeiro's famous carnival on Sunday.
The blonde beauty was clearly in high spirits at the world's biggest street party as she sipped a Caipirinha cocktail, made from cachaça, lime and sugar.
Gisele and Tom started dating in December 2006 - just weeks after the athlete ended his three year relationship with I, Robot actress Bridget Moynahan.
Just a few months into his relationship with Gisele, Tom was surprised to learn Bridget was pregnant with his child and gave birth to their son John in August 2007.
Despite their split, Tom and Bridget remain on speaking terms and toddler John spends time with his father and now-stepmother.
Gisele is the highest paid supermodel in the world, with an estimated salary of 17.5million in 2007.
Slightly far behind is her new husband Tom, who earns an estimated 9million a year.
Before dating Tom, she had a high-profile on/off five year romance with actor Leonardo DiCaprio until 2005.
