Buenos Aires, July 13 (IANS): Manchester City's star Argentine defender Martin Demichelis suffered heartbreak in the Copa America final, but he has got a big reason to be happy as he tied the knot with long-time partner and former Playboy model Evangelina Anderson at a ceremony here.

Former Bayern Munich star Demichelis has been with Anderson since 2007 and the couple finally married on Saturday at what she described as "an intimate celebration" for 50 guests, dailymail.co.uk reported on monday.

The pair linked up while Demichelis was plying his trade at Bundesliga outfit Bayern Munich, and they have two children together -- six-year-old Martin and two-year-old Lola.

Anderson, 32, has posed nude for several Argentine magazines, including Playboy, and is a former actress and dancer who became a notable name on Chilean television.

The pair will go to Marbella, Spain for honeymoon before Demichelis returns to City.

Demichelis has played 60 games for City, 245 matches for Bayern and 48 internationals.
