David Letterman is officially off the market, ladies!! The Late Show host has secretly tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Regina Lasko, only revealing the happy news during the early taping of the show today, according to US Magazine.

“On Thursday, at 3 p.m., March 19, 2009, at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana, I was married to Regina Lasko,” Letterman said about 20 minutes into the show, before he read the “Top 10″ list.

“Regina and I began dating in February of 1986, and I said, ‘Well, things are going pretty good, let’s just see what happens in about ten years…’” he continued.

Another celebrity afraid of ruining things after getting married! I’m not the only one afraid of commitment that makes me feel so much better… thank you, Dave!!

But I think it’s safe to say after ten years a signed paper shouldn’t make a difference and it sounds so much better to call your significant other hubby or wife. David is a bit too old to still be calling the mother of his 5 year-old son, Harry Joseph, girlfriend.

“…I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I — honestly, whether this happened or not — I secretly felt that men who were married admired me…like I was the last of the real gunslingers, you know what I’m saying?’” he joked.

The family’s truck got stuck in the mud en route to the courthouse, he explained. Letterman “walked two miles back to the house in 50 mph wind,” he said. “It’s not Beverly Hills — it’s Montana.

“And the whole way, I’m thinking, ‘See, smart ass, see you try to get married and this is what happens,’” he went on.

Oh, it’s so romantic! Congratulations to the happy couple and let them live happily ever after!
