Weir said he and his partner are honeymooning in the Dominican Republic.

Voronov is a Georgetown Law School graduate preparing for the New Jersey Bar exam, the Inquirer said.

"Ringing in the New Year with my new hubby @JohnnyGWeir! #ELATED," Voronov said in a separate message.

The couple, who plan to live in Bergen County, N.J., are officially changing their surnames to Weir-Voronov, the skater's publicist told People.com. Weir will continue to be known professionally as Johnny Weir.

The Inquirer did not say how long the couple had been together before they exchanged vows.
