The 89-year-old singer and the 60-year-old former CBS marketing executive made it official after 16 years of friendship.
The singer spoke to People about the special occasion, which took place at the Westgate Hotel, saying, ‘It’s terrific to have found love once again at this stage of my life.’
The couple said their wedding vows in an intimate ceremony with no other guests.
As they exchanged their vows, Valli’s classic 1967 hit single Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You played softly in the background, and the groom sang along.

The bride also opened up to People saying that although they met in 2007, they did not start dating until 2015.
She also told the story about how they met at a restaurant in Los Angeles while having dinner with friends.

The lead singer of the Four Seasons, a rock and roll and doo-wop band that originated in Newark, New Jersey, in 1960, is famous for his distinct falsetto voice.
Valli’s success is undeniable, with over 35 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, as a solo artist and with his group.
Some of his most notable songs include ‘Walk Like A Man,’ ‘Sherry,’ ‘1963 (Oh, What a Night),’ and ‘Grease.’
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Valli and the original members of the Four Seasons, Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi, and Bob Gaudio, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
This is the singer’s fourth marriage. In his early twenties, he tied the knot with Mary, who already had a two-year-old daughter named Celia.
