Vanessa Williams the singer actress and her fiancé Jim Skrip tied the knot in New York Saturday in front of their family and friends, her rep confirmed to the media on Sunday.

The 52 Year- old actress previously boasted about Skrip- who she met during a vacation in Egypt nearly three years ago- and how he “accepted me for who I was”.

The “Ugly Betty” alum has been married twice before. First to her former manager Roman Harvey from 1987 to 1997, who she has three children with, followed by former NBA player Rick Fox, who she married in 1999 before divorcing five years later. Williams also has one child with Fox.

But after her “first three-hour date” with Skrip, the pair fell for each other and got engaged after just over a year of dating.

Williams first announced she was getting married for the third time during an appearance on the now-canceled “Queen Latifah Show.”

“I just got engaged a couple weeks ago, “she gushed in September after Latifah pointed out the bling Williams was sporting.

“You go across the world to find somebody who’s six hours away,” she added.

Williams wasn’t the only celebrity to tie the knot on America’s birthday.
