Iron Maiden star Bruce Dickinson has married his French girlfriend Leana Dolci

The 65-year-old rock star has been dating French fitness instructor Leana, 48, since 2019 and, according to Kerrang, they have now tied the knot as he opened up about splitting his time between London and Paris.

He told the outlet: "I wander round and it all feels a bit bohemian, a bit exotic. I still love London, but it’s a slightly different headspace when you get [here]."

The Iron Maiden star was initially married to Jane Dickinson from 1983 until 1987 and was then married to the late Paddy Bowden - with whom he has Austin, 33, Griffin, 31, and 29-year-old Kia - from 1990 until 2019 but she was found dead the following year at the age of just 58 in what was described as a "tragic accident."

The 'Aces High' hitmaker first revealed that he and Leana were engaged whilst promoting a solo gig in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo in March, when he described her as his "fiancee" and hoped that she was going to be able to see the city whilst she came to see him, more than 30 years after he played in the city when it was under siege during the Bosnian war.

Speaking on Bosnia And Herzegovina's N1 TV channel: "My fiancée is coming. She's never been here. She's French. And I was coming in. I was hoping I was gonna be able to say, 'Okay, so here's [the Sarajevo street formerly named] Proleterskih Brigada,' and blah blah blah. But no, we came here a different way and everything. But I'm hoping she's gonna get some time to see the city. And not just the bad bits — to see the wonderful bits of Sarajevo."
