After about a year and a half of dating publicly, Orioles legend Cal Ripken has gotten married to Laura Kiessling, according to the Capital Gazette.

Cal Ripken is going public with a new girlfriend. She’s a judge.

Ripken wed the Anne Arundel County, Md., circuit court judge in a ceremony held over the weekend. Details on the nuptials are scant, however the new Mrs. Ripken already changed her name on her official court bio page.

The 58-year-old former shortstop and his first wife Kelly Ripken, to whom he was married about 30 years, divorced in April of 2016. Ripken and his new bride reportedly met through his foundation’s charity work.
