PARIS -- Princess Stephanie of Monaco has married her boyfriend, a Portuguese circus acrobat, the royal palace said Tuesday.

The 38-year-old Stephanie and Adans Lopez Peres, whose age wasn't available, were married Friday in a private ceremony, palace spokesman Armand Deus said. German news reports said they married in Geneva, but Deus said he didn't know where the ceremony took place.

The princess -- one of three children of Prince Rainier and the late American actress Grace Kelly -- is closely followed in the tabloids for her tumultuous love life.

Poor thing, she's had a rough time.

1. Like J lo & Ben.

The trials and tribulations of people who have it made in the shade.

2. Some helicopter guys I knew partied w/her in a bar once

They said she was a lot of fun, got very drunk, passed out, and had to be carried out by bodyguards.

Here's to many happy returns for Princess Stephanie and her new Portuguese husband.

4. You're from New Bef'd?

I often have cravings for linguica pizza! Man, how I miss those. (I used to live in Wareham and worked in NB for a while.)

7. Born and raised there :)

I like Linguica on everything BUT pizza.

5. Wow, this looks on the level

I thought this was some kind of joke. "Princess Marries Portuguese Circus Acrobat?"

6. Seems you need to be a Bodyguard or Circus Performer to attract Stephanie

She's had 3 children to 2 different bodyguards, one of which was her former husband. And from the article it seems the acrobat is the 3rd Circus Performer she's dated:

Stephanie's third child, Camille, is the daughter of another bodyguard, Jean-Raymond Gottlieb. Before falling for her new love, Stephanie also reportedly dated a Swiss circus director and elephant trainer, Franco Knie.

So if you're a bodyguard working for the circus you could be the soulmate of Princess Stephanie.

On a lighter note I wish the both of them well!

10. But when's Albert getting married?

I heard years ago that if Ranier dies before Albert has a son, Monaco will revert back to France. Any Monagasques who can confirm this?

12. I think that rule was changed in the past couple of years

to allow Caroline's kids (her oldest is a boy aged about 20) to inherit the title. Don't know why Albert has never married.

11. Wasn't he married why dating old Steph?

if what I've heard is true, I'm guessing the divorce went off without a hitch... ;)
