Actor and politician Laurence Fox has revealed he is newly married.
Fox, 47, who was previously wed to actress Billie Piper, has tied the knot with his podcaster girlfriend Elizabeth Barker, he revealed today on X.
He shared photos online of the couple after visiting a registry office, with family members including his actor father James Fox seen with them – and vowed to hold a follow-up marriage ceremony ahead.
Fox told his 617,000 followers on X: ‘In order to avoid having to encounter anyone from the @churchofengland myself and my beautiful wife @CaliforniaFrizz signed a piece of paper in a registry office today.
‘Proper wedding in a few days with nearest and dearest in the eyes of God.’
He announced their engagement on June 19 last year.
That was a year after splitting from his ex-fiancée just weeks before they were due to marry.
Former GB News presenter Fox shared 12 months ago a post captioned ‘some personal news’, which showed Ms Barker wearing an engagement ring, before quipping to followers that he was ‘punching’.

He then confirmed to MailOnline: ‘Yes, congratulations are due. It was a few weeks ago.’
He declined to comment further, saying he wanted to keep things ‘quiet and personal’.
The Reclaim Party leader had broken up with his previous fiancée Arabella Fleetwood Neagle in June 2023.
The former Lewis star had been married to Billie Piper for eight years before they divorced in 2016.
They met in 2006 while working on the stage play Treats and wed a year later before having two sons, Winston and Eugene.
His new wife Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Barker describes herself on Instagram as a model, body double and stuntwoman. She was born in America but now lives in the UK.
She has regularly appeared on Elite Thinking Club, a ‘critical thinking’ fringe podcast that touts itself as a ‘show dedicated to critical thinking’ but airs wild conspiracy theories including the idea Princess Diana was murdered on the orders of the Queen.
Asked in one episode on the theory of evolution whether humans are descended from apes, she replied: ‘I think that’s what we’re made to believe and that is what we should be believing [sic] but I don’t think that is. No. I think we come from another race.’

Ms Barker has also claimed that the late billionaire financier and convicted paedophile Epstein was killed following Prince Andrew’s notorious Newsnight interview.
This is despite Epstein having died in August 2019, three months before the Duke of York’s televised encounter with Emily Maitlis took place.
Fox, who first rose to fame for his role in ITV drama Lewis, has since rebranded himself as a right-wing commentator and founder of the Reclaim Party.
He has stood in three failed election campaigns and was barred from running in the most recent London mayoral election after submitting incomplete nomination papers.
He is part of the renowned Fox showbusiness dynasty, with his father being The Remains Of The Day star James Fox and his uncles including actor Edward Fox and producer Robert Fox – while his cousins Emilia and Freddie Fox are also actors.
