NEW YORK — Shock jock Howard Stern has embraced tradition. The radio talk show host known for hosting porn stars married his longtime girlfriend, Beth Ostrosky, on Friday.
“I can’t wait to marry Howard,” she told Newsday before the ceremony at Manhattan’s Le Cirque restaurant, adding, “I know, everyone laughs!”
The bride wore a white chiffon gown. Officiating was actor Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa’s husband and an ordained minister.
The wedding is an about-face for the media maverick, who once worried on the air that marriage to the model could spoil a good thing.
“It’s a nice feeling that we get along great,” he said in 2006. “We’re very happy, and I don’t want to (blank) it up.”
But he took the plunge anyway.
Stern and his wife of 21 years, Alison Berns, had three daughters before divorcing in 2001.
