The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue is officially a married man! The singer tied the knot with his fiancée Anais Naing, whom he has dubbed 'the one', in an elegant ceremony on Thursday.

The newlyweds, who first began dating five years ago, looked loved up as ever on their big day, as Danny swapped out his signature black t-shirt and skinny jeans for a more elevated number, a fitted tuxedo and bowtie.

The pair told MailOnline that they are 'over the moon to be married. 'Now we take the first steps on the journey of the rest of our lives together!'

Danny added: 'We actually live in the same part of London, and up until now we’ve mainly just been hanging out at home. My mum loved her, and they offered her lots of tea.'

The loved-up couple first met during the Covid-19 lockdown in London and it was a chance encounter as they randomly bumped into one another in the neighbourhood where they live.

Danny has channeled his love for Anais into new music for The Script, in particular the tracks One Thing I Got Right and At Your Feet, which he admits is Anais' favourite' as it's 'directly about her'.

Gushing about the love of his life to the Sunday World, Danny said: 'When you know, you know... I knew when it wasn't right, but now I know whatever that is, that it’s one hundred per cent right.'

'She’s great. I met her during Covid and if you’ve been with anybody through Covid it’s like you compress ten years into those years,' he explained.

'You learn everything, all the good bits, mostly the bad bits, and if you get through those moments... I don’t know if it’s a rite of passage, if you’ve made it through those few years then you know,' Danny continued.

Danny previously told the Irish Independent that French beauty Anais had received his mum's seal of approval. She's also been to visit his native Ireland on several occasions.
