Hide AdCleese has previously been married to Connie Booth, who played long-suffering chamber maid, Polly, in Fawlty Towers.
He was also wed to Barbara Trentham and Alice Faye Eichelberger, both from the US.
Cleese’s divorce from Eichelberger was a famously expensive one, costing him £12 million.
He subsequently launched his first solo comedy shows which he named the Alimony Tour.
The actor, who starred in A Fish Called Wanda, said: “I never felt there was anything wrong with the institution of marriage – it was my ability to choose the right person.”
His bride said: “We’re kindred spirits. When people see us together, they immediately get it.”
Cleese’s friends previously cautioned him against jumping into marriage again.
