Jim Parsons, better known as Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, has married his partner of 14 years, Todd Spiewak.

The pair married at the Rainbow Room in New York this weekend, Page Six reports.

Despite being together for more than 14 years, Jim, 44, only came out publicly in 2012, during an interview with the New York Times, when he confirmed he was gay and in a long-term relationship.

Jim told The View in 2014, he was in no rush to walk down the aisle. He said: "I don't know. I mean, I guess I kind of think so but there's no date in the book or ring on the finger.

"You know, what's very funny to me, I'm 42 now, and so much of my adult life, that wasn't really a possibility or whatever and I have grown more interested in the idea and certainly supportive of the notion.

"If my getting married would help the notion in general, even that might be enough to make me want to do it. My personal interest in that has never been that high."

Strangely, his on-screen persona, Sheldon, is also getting geared up for a wedding. On The Big Bang Theory series finale last week, Sheldon popped the question to his girlfriend, Amy Farrah Fowler, who is played by Mayim Bialik.
