After five years, Justin Timberlake finally decided to put a ring on it, as Beyonce sings.

Justin Timberlake and longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel married Friday in a secret ceremony in southern Italy, according to People Magazine.

"It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends," the husband and wife told People.

Timberlake and Biel have been engaged since December but the timing of the wedding and even the location had been a well kept secret.

Newsday reported the pair wed at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia. "Saturday Night Live's" Andy Samberg, former 'N Sync member Chris Kirkpatrick, music producer Timbaland, and Biel's "7th Heaven" co-star Beverley Mitchell all attended, E! Online reported.

The musician has called Biel "a really, really, really special person."
