X Factor star Saara Aalto has married her fiancee Meri Sopanen in a secret ceremony in Finland during lockdown.
The couple, who have been engaged for three years, tied the knot in a private wedding in Helsinki.
They had initially planned to wed this summer, but were forced to call off the ceremony due to the coronavirus crisis.
However, they decided to go ahead and tie the knot earlier than planned and hold a full wedding after the pandemic ends.
A statement from the newly-weds explained: "Saara Aalto today announces her marriage to Meri Aalto (née Sopanen).
"The Dancing On Ice, X Factor & Eurovision star has been engaged to Meri for three and a half years and held a private registry with just herself & Meri in Helsinki, Finland.
"The couple had planned a full ceremony with family and friends in Europe this summer, however this was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
"Saara and Meri plan to hold a full rescheduled ceremony in the near future."
Saara said: "With all of us feeling so much anxiety and uncertainty right now, Meri and I wanted to celebrate love and put something positive out into the world.
"When we had to postpone the wedding we were heartbroken, but then we realised we could still hold a private registration and celebrate our love together.
"It was the perfect moment."
The couple met in 2014, and they became engaged two years later as they celebrated their second anniversary together.
Meri is a personal trainer and life coach.
Saara is planning to celebrate the marriage - and her upcoming 33rd birthday on May 2 - by livestreaming a concert for fans.
The concert willl take place on Facebook on May 1.
The singer added: "This livestream concert is the perfect opportunity for me to commemorate something so special and mark the occasion with everybody who has supported me publicly for so many years."
