“We are very much in love and look forward to the future together. We can’t wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who we know fully support our wishes,” the newlyweds said in a statement.
Katie, 31, ended her three and a half years of marriage with singer Peter Andre in May 2009. The former mode3l has been dating the 34-year-old cage fighter and former Hollyoaks actor Alex Reid for around seven months.
A statement from the couple’s publicist confirmed: “Katie and Alex are delighted to announce that they got married in a private, simple ceremony at 4pm (PST) on February 2nd in Las Vegas.”
“Their decision to marry has not been made with any pre-conceived commercial plan or media deal in place, and their reason for getting married is purely down to their love for each other,” the spokesman added.
