Former Formula 1 world champion Jenson
Button has married long-term partner Jessica
Michibata, he has confirmed on Twitter.
Button, 34, confirmed the news after newspaper
speculation that the pair had married in Maui,
Hawaii.
The driver, from Frome, Somerset, wrote:
"Happy New Year from Mr & Mrs Button!! We're
excited to see in the New year with family and
loved ones."
He and Ms Michibata, a lingerie model, have
been in a relationship since 2008.
Their marriage comes after McLaren announced
in December they were retaining the 2009 world
champion alongside new signing Fernando
Alonso for the 2015 season.
The Surrey-based team had taken weeks to
decide whether to keep Button or his 2014
team-mate Kevin Magnussen, 22.
Button, who will contest his 16th season in
Formula 1 this year, has won 15 races and
scored 50 podiums from 268 starts.
