Former Happy Days star Scott Baio has married his longtime girlfriend Renee Sloan in a ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday. The small religious gathering took place on the rooftop of a luxury high-rise building, with guests including Sloan's 18-year-old daughter Kalyn - from a previous relationship - and the couple's newborn baby girl, who was delivered last month. The 46-year-old actor has been dating model-turned-actress Sloan, 45, since 2005 and agreed to have the wedding filmed for the second season of his reality TV show - Scott Baio Is 45... And Single - which premieres in the U.S. next month.

The actor received the news he was going to be a dad again while filming the season finale of his hit reality TV show Scott Baio is 45... And Single recently - when girlfriend Renee Sloan revealed she was pregnant. The bombshell came after Baio, who was once one of Hollywood's biggest playboys, asked Sloan to marry him. Baio's past loves include Denise Richards, Pamela Anderson, Heather Locklear, Nicole Eggert and his Happy Days co-star Erin Moran. Baio and Sloan are expecting their first child together in December. Sloan, who was once a body double for Baio's ex Anderson, have a teenage daughter from a previous relationship.
