Noughties rock icon marries US rapper girlfriend in secret ceremony – four years after split with wife

ARCTIC Monkeys star Matt Helders has tied the knot with his US rapper girlfriend Amanda Blank in a secret ceremony after more than three years of dating.

The Sheffield-born rocker and Amanda said "I do" as they got wed over the weekend.

Amanda appeared to confirm the happy news by sharing a loved-up shot of the pair kissing to Instagram.

The brunette beauty wrote alongside an emoji of a ring: "I really love you the most."

Matt also shared the post to his followers online as he insisted: "I've never been happier!!!"

The Sun has contacted a representative of Arctic Monkeys for comment.

The drummer split from his ex-wife four years ago.

Matt, 37, was previously married to model Breana McDow after they met in 2011.

The couple married in 2016, one year after welcoming their daughter Amelia, and lived in LA together.

Matt filed for divorce in early 2019 and now seems happier than ever in his union with Amanda.

In March he posted a birthday message to her on Instagram calling her "the queen of my heart".

The star played a homecoming gig with the Arctic Monkeys in Sheffield in May as they took to Hillsborough Park for a series of concerts as part of their critically acclaimed UK tour.

The R U Mine singers are currently continuing their tour throughout the US.

Matt's new wife Amanda is a 40 year old rapper and performer who has been releasing music since 2004.

Matt shot to fame in 2006 with English indie rock band the Arctic Monkeys, which formed in 2002.
