David LettermanDavid Letterman tied the knot for the second time on Thursday afternoon- this time around with longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko, in a simple courthouse ceremony.

According to E! News, the couple- who’ve been together for 23 years with a 5-year-old son named Harry- made it official at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana.

“Regina and I began dating in February of 1986, and I said, ‘Well, things are going pretty good, let’s just see what happens in about 10 years,” said Letterman. “I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I—honestly, whether this happened or not—I secretly felt that men who were married admired me…like I was the last of the real gunslingers, you know what I’m saying?”

The 61-year-old Late Show host is planning to announce the big news on tonight’s episode (March. 23rd, 2009), where he’ll receive congratulations from guests Hugh Laurie and Sarah Paulson.

This is the second marriage for Letterman, who spent nine years with Michelle Cook before divorcing in 1978.
