Former tennis star Martina Hingis, a former #1 with five Grand Slam singles titles, and her boyfriend, French show jumper Thibault Hutin, got married in a private civil ceremony at the Neuilly-sur-Seine city hall in Paris, France on Friday (December 10).

“Our wedding may take some by surprise,” Swiss newspaper Sonntags quotes the bride as saying of the couple’s ceremony, “but it has all been planned for some time.”

Thibault and Martina had a very small wedding reception for close family in the Presidential Suite of Hotel George V. The couple is reportedly planning to have a traditional Swiss wedding next Spring.

The lovebirds, who will be enjoying a romantic honeymoon in the Maldives, met at a show-jumping competition in St. Tropez right after she called off her engagement to longtime boyfriend, Swiss attorney Andreas Bieri, in April of 2010.
