The couple got married this Monday at 6.15pm at the Súria justice of the peace (Bages, Barcelona). The link was held in family privacy and only with the presence of witnesses, who were Caballol’s mother and her partner.

At the exit of the justice of the peace, a team from the TV3 program of ‘Planta Baja’ was waiting for them, a program that has announced via Twitter the link and the dissemination of the recorded images, starting this Tuesday, at 11 in the morning.

The civil ceremony was the only possibility that Novel had to marry, since the religious route is closed as long as he cannot get the layoff of the ecclesiastical offices, which the Vatican has to grant him. Caballol, for his part, is separated and has two children fruit of a previous relationship.

The couple has left the peace court smiling, he dressed in a black coat and she, in a beige jacket and an orange sweater. This Monday was the first appearance before the media after speculation that she could be pregnant.
