LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
“American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi is no longer a solo act.
Kara and boyfriend Mike McCuddy were married on July 5, a rep for the “Idol” judge confirmed to Access Hollywood.
The couple, who announced their engagement the same day Kara made her “Idol” debut in January, tied the knot at the Prospect Harbor United Methodist Church in Prospect Harbor, Maine.
In her walk down the aisle, Kara wore a Vera Wang wedding dress.
None of Kara’s fellow “Idol” judges were reportedly in attendance.
Kara, 38, and Mike, a 34-year-old school teacher-turned-general contractor who has a child from a previous relationship, were on vacation in Mexico when he proposed in December.
