It's third time's a charm for Neil Diamond as he reportedly weds Katie McNeil, who is 30 years his junior.

The Daily Mail is reporting that the music legend who is 71, tied the knot yesterday to Katie, 41, who acts as one of his managers.

The couple met when blonde Miss McNeil was the executive producer of a 2009 documentary film about him called Neil Diamond: Hot August Night NYC.

Diamond used his official Twitter page to announce their engagement last September writing, "Good news coming from sunny LA/ and you're the first I want to tell/Katie and I just got engaged/and I hope you wish us well."

The pair, who share a £35 million mansion in LA, were set to wed at a private location in Beverly Hills.

The singer was previously married to his high school sweetheart, teacher Jayne Posner. They split in 1969 after six years of marriage, and he went on to wed Marcia Murphey later that year.

They divorced in 1995 and she walked away with £93 million - a settlement that ranks as the second largest in Hollywood history. Diamond has two children for each of his previous marriages.
