Johnny Manziel is officially a married man.
According to TMZ Sports, Manziel recently married fiancee Brie Tiesi in a private ceremony at a California courthouse approximately one year after he proposed.
"We had noticed the two were wearing rings recently that appeared to be wedding bands -- and now, sources connected to the couple tell us they have indeed traded "I do's.""
The newlyweds haven't ruled out a more lavish celebration later this year, but for now it seems Manziel's main focus is getting back on the football field and making an NFL return.

Manziel, 25, recently signed a deal to play football in the Spring League, which is an "elite developmental league," consisting of four teams in two doubleheaders. The league is based in Austin, Texas and will take place from March 28 through April 15.
The former Cleveland Browns QB last played in the NFL during the 2015 season. He is hoping the Spring League will catapult his NFL comeback.
"Football has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Sometimes you take for granted how much you value something until it's gone. My goal is to make it back to the NFL and I realize I have to earn that privilege," Manziel said, per ESPN. "The Spring League has provided me with a great opportunity to play ball again, and ultimately, that is all I want to do. I miss the competition."
Manziel recently told several media outlets that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder about a year ago and has been taking the proper medication while cutting booze out of his life. He has taken full responsibility for the outrageous drinking binges, bizarre social media videos and run-ins with the law over the last few years which resulted in him being out of the NFL just two seasons into his career.
