Sean Penn confirms he married Leila George on a 'COVID wedding'

Hollywood star Sean Penn has confirmed that he had a COVID wedding ceremony with actress Leila George. During an appearance on a show, the 59-year-old actor said that he married his 28-year-old bride last week with a few people present, with the officiant on Zoom.

Washington D.C: American actor Sean Penn has confirmed that he is once again a married man.

According to Page Six, the 59-year-old actor said Monday (local time) on Late Night with Seth Meyers that he and girlfriend 28-year-old Leila George tied the knot on Thursday.

Meyers asked Penn, "There are reports that you recently got married, is this true?", to which the Oscar winner raised his hand, showing off his wedding band.

Penn said of the nuptials, "We did a COVID wedding. By that I mean it was a county commissioner on Zoom, we were at the house, my two children and her brother, and we did it that way."

George, also an actor, is the daughter of Law & Order's' Vincent D'Onofrio.
