Admittedly, the first reports came from National Enquirer and People so this could be fake, but now Time is also reporting:

Looks like they made it.

Barry Manilow and his longtime manager Garry Kief tied the knot last year in a private ceremony, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.

"It was a surprise," a friend of the couple says of the wedding, which was held at Manilow's Palm Springs, California, home and attended by "20 to 30 guests" who had been told they were attending a "lunch."

Though the couple chose to keep the wedding completely private and did not sign any official paperwork, Manilow and Kief both wear wedding bands and "are committed to one another and have been for a very long time," a Manilow source says. "They have a great relationship. Garry has always been there for Barry."

News of the nuptials may come as a surprise to some Manilow fans, but the source says the "Copacabana" singer has never tried to hide his sexual orientation.

"He's at a point now where he's got his career and personal life in a great place and he really doesn't care what people think," the source says. "He's in love and happy."

Manilow's rep is not commenting on the marriage. The National Enquirer was first to report the news.

Maybe Manilow and Ray Davies met the same "Lola".  :hmm:

Is over for the past 30 years a great place?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

It's a song by The Kinks.

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version: Coca-Cola]
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Next we'll find out Liberace was gay.  I mean, the ladies loved him.

Oh Garry well,
Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
And I need you today.
Oh, Garry!

Old male celebrity marrying age appropriate partner? Woah.

I'm more impressed by an artist marrying his manager.

I mean, artists get fucked by their managers all the time ... but they don't go around marrying them.  :P

My wife loves Barry Manilow.
She has all his records and shit, and saw him live years ago.
She loves Barry Manilow, Air Supply, Abba, and Bee Gees.

I'm like:
"Wow, you have the taste of old people!
Are you sure you are 7 years younger than me?
I think you are 7 years OLDER than me!"

She does not like that.

You are surprised, why?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
