Justin Timberlake is officially off the market. The singer-actor married his longtime girlfriend, actress Jessica Biel, in southern Italy this week.

“It’s great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful, and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends,” the couple told PEOPLE in a statement.

Timberlake, 31, and Biel, 30, kept the ceremony details, including the location, under close lock-and-key with only select family and friends in attendance.

On Thursday, they hosted a party where guests gathered around open fires and dined on fresh-made cheese, olives, and wine. The previous night, the group celebrated at a beach party with fireworks and live music.

The superstar couple has been engaged since December. Photos from the ceremony will be released in PEOPLE next week.
