On May 25, 2018 The Sun exclusively revealed that Hugh had tied the knot with Swedish TV producer Anna Eberstein, 40.
They swapped vows in a low-key ceremony on Thursday at Chelsea register office near their £10million West London home.
The couple then posed for photos with family and friends — wearing their wedding rings for the first time.
Clad in a navy lounge suit and tie, dad-of-five Hugh chose an unusual gold ring set with three red gemstones.
It bore a striking resemblance to a comedy ring used in his 1994 screen hit Four Weddings.
Anna shunned a traditional wedding dress in favour of a miniskirt and fitted blouse, left, but wore a classic gold band on her finger.
An onlooker said: "It looked like a small affair, just a few friends and family."
