They were friends for more than five years. However, George Clooney was in the way for a while. After Stacy Keibler, 34, and Clooney ended their two year relationship, tech entrepreneur Jared Pobre, 39, was able to swoon in and sweep the former professional wrestler off her feet.

It’s been confirmed. Color it official. Keibler and Pobre got married on March 8th in Mexico. According to People Magazine, it was a private ceremony on the beach. They tied the knot at sunset.

Keibler spoke about what marriage means to her, “My happiness is indescribable! Marriage is the ultimate bond of love and friendship. It means putting all your faith and trust into a person that you can’t help but believe is your soul mate. Someone who has all of your best interests at heart; someone handpicked for you, to help you grow and be the best person that you can be. Jared is all of this for me.”

The couple had been planning the ceremony for several months. However, the wedding was a surprise for the family and friends who thought they were in Mexico with Keibler and Pobre for vacation. It is the first marriage for both.

In the summer of 2013 when Keibler was still with perennial bachelor Mr. Clooney, she said that the two didn’t discuss getting married or having children. “That is the last thing on my mind. I’m, I think, a little bit different than most women out there. I don’t really think about that right now.”

Perhaps Keibler figured that Clooney wasn’t the “settling down” type or maybe she just knew that he wasn’t the one for her? She hasn’t been dating Pobre long, only seven months. So her feelings on marriage have dramatically changed over the past year.
