I THOUGHT Anne-Marie and Brit rapper Slowthai had been going steady for almost two years now – but in fact they had wasted no time in getting married.
I can exclusively reveal the pop star tied the knot with Slowthai — real name Tyron Frampton — on July 26, 2022, just months after they started dating.
The pair, right, had a quickie wedding in Las Vegas in the middle of her Dysfunctional tour.
A source said: “Anne-Marie and Slowthai got married in secret two years ago.
"She had an eight-week break from her tour and they went to Las Vegas and got married.”

Documents from Clark County Court in Sin City show the pair picked up their marriage licence on July 20 before they wed six days later.
Anne-Marie and Slowthai have never confirmed they tied the knot but last summer the Don’t Play singer showed off a large diamond ring on her wedding finger.
And recently, Slowthai was spotted out and about wearing a chunky silver band on his finger.
He is currently awaiting trial for two charges of rape after pleading not guilty last year.
Caused headaches
As Anne-Marie prepares to headline a string of summer dates in July, in that same month her husband will face trial for the alleged crimes.
Their decision to get married in secret is hardly surprising, given that they wed ten months after Slowthai was first charged by police.
It’s not a good look for Anne-Marie, who made a name for herself as a squeaky-clean pop star with a string of hits including Ciao Adios and Psycho.
Insiders said that Anne-Marie’s decision to stick with Slowthai caused headaches within her label, who feared her female-friendly image could be tainted by the relationship.
But given they’ve married, there isn’t a lot they can do.
Those close to Anne-Marie said she would continue to stand by Slowthai, despite how it might looks to outsiders.

One added: “Anne-Marie loves Tyron. They are very happy together.”
I’ve interviewed Anne-Marie a handful of times over the years and she’s a kind, warm and intelligent woman who knows her own mind.
The news of her secret wedding may come as a shock to her fans. But who are we to judge?
