Congratulations are in order for Frankie Valli, who has married his wife Jackie Jacobs in a Las Vegas ceremony.
The Four Seasons icon, 89, and his new wife, 60, tied the knot on Monday (June 26).
Four Seasons lead singer Frankie and former CBS marketing executive Jackie had previously been friends for 16 years.
Their ceremony took place at the Westgate Hotel as they exchanged wedding vows at a private ceremony with just the two of them.
His own music was also part of their special day, as his 1967 hit Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You played in the background as Frankie sweetly serenaded his other half.
The music star – who rose to fame in the rock band in the 1960s – later told People: ‘It’s terrific to have found love once again at this stage of my life.’
Photographs from the big day shared by the outlet show the stunning bride wearing a white satin gown with dainty silver jewellery.
Meanwhile, Frankie looked dapper in a navy suit, a white shirt, and a simple gold chain.
Despite meeting Frankie in 2007, Jackie has insisted that their connection didn’t become romantic until 2015.
‘We met at a restaurant in Los Angeles where he joined my friends and I for dinner,’ she recalled.
‘We kept in touch by phone until he called me and asked for a date in late 2015 and we’ve been together ever since.’
Jackie is Frankie’s fourth wife.
He was first married to Mary Delgado in his early twenties in 1958 and they had two daughters: Antonia (Toni) and Francine.
Mary also already had a daughter named Celia.
They divorced in 1971 after 13 years together and, eight years later, his stepdaughter Celia died in a car accident.
Francine then tragically died six months later from a drug overdose.
Frankie went on to marry again in 1974, tying the knot with MaryAnn Hannagan.
They were together for eight years before parting ways in 1982.
Two years later, he married Randy Clohessy, and the pair later had three sons: Francesco and twins Emilio and Brando.
Frankie and Randy split after 20 years of marriage in 2004.
Despite splitting from his three previous wives, Frankie has remained close with his children and always described himself as a family man.
He’s even taken his twin sons on tour with him, while his granddaughter Olivia followed in his musical footsteps and landed roles in Off-Broadway musicals such as Pretty Woman.
Meanwhile, he remains active with Four Seasons – which has also been known at times as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
Later this year, they will begin a year-long residency at the Westgate Hotel in Vegas, which is a nice full-circle moment given that it’s where Frankie just wed.
