The 27-year-old actress and the 29-year-old Alabama-born musician tied the knot this weekend in Venice, according to British tabloid Daily Mail, which has obtained photos from the wedding.

The couple reportedly tied the knot at the elegant Palazzo Pisani Moretta before celebrating with family and friends at the reception. Hollywood actors close to Taylor-Joy who celebrated with the couple included Miles Teller, Julia Garner, Cara Delevingne, Nicholas Hoult and Evan Ross.
