Johnny shared two pictures on Instagram and wrote, “It seems I have had a lot of news lately but there is no news bigger than this…..Today Emily and I got married and I’m the luckiest and happiest fella in the universe.
“Bucket is pretty happy too as you can see from the pictures. It was a small ceremony with family, friends, and THE best minister ever.
“Thank you John Waters we love you so. Ok I’m getting off Instagram now because it’s our wedding night, but I wanted everyone to know. Love to everybody, wahoooo!!!”
Friends and fans were delighted for the couple.
Former Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese wrote, “Congrats! You guys look great! AND John Waters??”
Walking Dead star Norman Reedus said, “congrats u guys.”
Ex Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg said, “Congratulations!!”
Johnny looked smart in velvet navy suit and held his beloved dog Bucket on a pink lead.
Standing underneath a floral arch, Emily wore a pretty mini dress with a gold bow at the midriff.
While Pink Flamingos star Waters rocked a loud pair of monochrome patterned trousers and a suave black jacket.
Johnny split from second wife Naomi on their 11th wedding anniversary in 2021.
He cited irreconcilable differences in divorce papers submitted the following year and applied for joint custody of the couple’s two children: Rocko, 15, and Arlo, 14.
His first marriage to Melanie Cates lasted from 1995 until 2009, and they have a daughter called Madison, 29.
The TV star is best known for his body-breaking stunts on Jackass, which has produced four big screen spin-offs since it launched in 2000.
The daring stunts came at a price, with one particularly risky skit leaving him with brain damage.
He suffered a nasty concussion from a bull when it tossed him up into the air and he landed on his head in the dirt.
Speaking to Howard Stern in 2022, he said, “I had to go under all these type of treatments, this transcranial magnetic stimulation, which they buzz your head with these magnets for about 30 minutes at a time for like, oh God, I would say 10 to 12 treatments over a series of two months and it’s supposed to help with depression and help with my cognitive skills.
“It was a tough one to come back from.
“I was trying to edit the movie at the time but I couldn’t sit still.”

While dad-of-three Johnny is now entering a new period of domestic bliss, after two previous marriages, he also has legal issues to contend with.
Daniel Curry, 49, alleges Johnnytasered him on the set of The Prank Panel in September 2022 – an incident caught on video that left him with a broken fibula and torn ankle ligament, according to court records.
Curry, a veteran writer and producer, was serving as a consulting producer on the short-lived ABC series when the tasering happened, he claims.
The writer launched a negligence and battery lawsuit in 2024 against Knoxville, ABC Signature Studios, Kimmel’s Kimmelot banner, ITV America and others connected to the series.
A man has won an all-expenses-paid holiday to Las Vegas after beating Johnny Vegas at poker. Visitors to London’s King’s Cross Station were treated to a unique showdown as the comedian took over for gambling firm GGPoker’s live stunt.
The All in or Fold event saw a virtual Vegas displayed on a giant screen inviting passers-by to take him on in a single hand of poker. Hundreds of players of all abilities stepped up to the challenge, with those who dared to go ‘all in’ and beat Vegas entered into a random draw to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas
The winner, Charlie Rome, was crowned at the end of the day and Charlie, 27, will be heading to Sin City with his girlfriend for five nights and their hotel and flights will be covered by GGPoker.
The pair were visiting London for a long weekend and had a train to catch back to Darlington when they decided to test their mettle against the virtual Vegas. Charlie said: “I wasn’t even going to play this afternoon as I’ve not played poker for years but it just looked like a laugh going up against a giant Johnny Vegas so I thought I would give it a go.
“This is the last thing I expected when I turned up to King’s Cross this evening. I literally cannot believe I’ve won. I’m going to take my girlfriend next year to Vegas. She had played a hand before me and lost so I’ve got bragging rights there as well.”
Angela Martin, Director of Ace360 representing GGPoker, s aid: “We wanted to take poker beyond the tables and into real life, giving everyone a chance to experience that all-or-nothing moment that makes the game so thrilling. Fans can expect to see more high-profile face-offs and even bigger challenges from GGPoker in the months ahead. This is just the start.”
