Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan tied knot with his longtime partner Chole Mendel on Saturday, September 16.
Corgan revealed the news ahead of the band's 30th anniversary celebration of their second studio album, Siamese Dream, on Sunday at Madame ZuZu's in Highland Park.
Corgan, who was previously married to Chris Fabian from 1993 to 1995, has been with Mendel since 2012. The couple have two children together: seven-year-old son Augustus and five-year-old daughter Philomena.
The duo got engaged in September 2022 on Mendel's 30th birthday, which Mendel mentioned in an Instagram post at the time.
"We lost a pet, ate great food, [son] Augustus lost a tooth, and we enjoyed great company. The day finished with a wedding proposal. Of course I said yes," Mendel wrote.
