9Honey Celebrity with CNN

Sean Penn is a married man.

The actor confirmed on Late Night with Seth Meyers that he married Australian-American actress Leila George last week in what he said was an intimate "COVID wedding" held via Zoom.

"It was Thursday," Penn told host Seth Meyers after revealing his wedding band. "We did a COVID wedding. By that I mean it was a county commissioner on Zoom and we were at the house, my two children and her brother. And we did it that way."

However, Penn, 60, didn't seem to have a problem with the low-key approach.

"Let's say there are socially liberating factors under COVID," he told Meyers.

Penn has two kids — daughter Dylan Frances, 29, and son Hopper Jack, 26 — with whom he shares with ex-wife Robin Wright.

George, whose full name is Leila George D'Onofrio, is the daughter of actors Vincent D'Onofrio and Greta Scacchi.
