It's a season of marriage for Frankie Valli.

The 89-year old frontman for the Four Seasons married 60-year old Jackie Jacobs on Monday, June 26, at the Westgate Hotel in Las Vegas, according to People. A rep for Valli confirmed the marriage to the USA Today Network New Jersey.

Valli, a Newark native, and Jacobs, a CBS marketing executive, met in 2007 but didn't begin dating until 2015.

“It's terrific to have found love once again at this stage of my life,” said Valli to People.

Valli and Jacobs exchanged wedding vows at a private ceremony where he sang his hit, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You,” into her ear. She wore a white bridal gown, with her hair pinned accentuated with delicate silver earrings. He wore a navy blue suit, a white collared shirt and modest gold chain.

Valli has been married three times before and has four children and more grandkids. A daughter and step-daughter from his first marriage previously passed away. A granddaughter, Olivia, starred in a touring production of “Pretty Woman” and an off-Broadway run of “Jersey Boys.”

“Jersey Boys,” of course, is the hit Broadway musical based on the life and career of Valli and the Four Seasons (Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi and Bob Gaudio). They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
