Looks like Barry Manilow and his partner 'made it'.

The 71 year old singer, known for his glitter stage costumes, married longtime manager, 66 year old Garry Kief last year in a surprise ceremony held in Manilow's Palm Springs home in California, according to People Magazine.

"It was a surprise," said a close friend of the couple.

The wedding was attended by 20 to 30 guests, who were apparently told that they were invited by the couple for lunch. The couple didn't file any official paperwork to formalize their marriage.

"They are committed to one another and have been for a very long time.They have a great relationship. Garry has always been there for Barry," a source close to the couple revealed to People Magazine.

"He's at a point now where he's got his career and personal life in a great place and he really doesn't care what people think. He's in love and happy," the source further added.

The 'Mandy' singer never opened up to his orientation in public and is well known for being private when it came to his personal life.

But a source says that Manilow has never been 'hiding in the closet' in other aspects of his life.

Manilow and Kief were spotted occasionally in several events. The couple was photographed in 2008 with the newly married couple pianist Michael Feinstein and Terrence Flannery.

There was already speculation with the 71 year old singer's marital status when he was spotted wearing a wedding band on his finger. But Manilow was seen without when he performing on stage.

The singer's representatives refused to comment on the marriage.

Manilow is currently on tour and will end on June 17, his 72^nd birthday.
