80s music legend and heartthrob Paul Young has married for a second time after his first wife died of brain cancer
An 80s heartthrob and music superstar has married for the second time in a sweet ceremony which the bride called ‘the happiest day ever’.
Singer Paul Young tied the knot with his fiancee Lorna, describing her as ‘the most wonderful girl’. The Eighties pop star’s first wife Stacey, a model, died following a two-year battle with brain cancer in 2018.
Young wrote on Instagram: “Meet the new Mrs Young! Today I married the most wonderful girl. Thank you Lorna, this is one of the happiest days of my life.”
The 68-year-old singer, known for the hits Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home), Come Back And Stay, Love Of The Common People and Everytime You Go Away, shared the post along with an image of Lorna wearing a white dress and him in a blue suit.
Lorna, who is reportedly from County Roscommon in Ireland, shared the same image to Instagram, saying: “The happiest day ever! Today I married the most amazing man in the world. I love you Paul and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
The pair had announced their engagement in October 2023.
Young was quickly congratulated by The Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood and Steps star Ian “H” Watkins.
Hollywood wrote: “Congrats to you both x.”
Young married Stacey in 1987 following them meeting on the video shoot for his single Come Back And Stay in 1983.
They went on to have three children together – daughters Levi and Layla, and son Grady.
In 2006, the couple split and Stacey went on to have her fourth child, son Jude, with Israeli businessman Ilan Slazenger.
Following their reconciliation three years later, the Luton-born pop singer became Jude’s stepfather.
Young found solo fame following his work with bands The Q-Tips and Kat Kool & The Kool Kats – and has since gone on to front Los Pacaminos.
