Bryan Batt is now a married man!

The 51-year-old actor, best known for his role as closeted gay art director Salvatore Romano in the hit AMC period drama "Mad Men," has tied the knot with his longtime partner Tom Cianfichi Sunday, Sept. 28 in New Orleans, according to Playbill.

Batt and Cianfichi exchanged vows in front of their family and friends in the courtyard of the landmark New Orleans' establishment, Commander's Palace. Prior to their wedding ceremony in Batt's home city, the two legally married in New York City several weeks ago.

The couple has been together for already 25 years, according to Playbill. The "12 Years a Slave" actor met Cianfichi for the first time during a production of "Evita" at the Carousel Dinner Theatre in Akron, Ohio. Batt was playing Che and Cianfichi was the understudy for Magaldi.

"I was Che. Tom was in the ensemble and the Magaldi cover. We met and fell, and have been together ever since," Batt wrote, according to Playbill.

Batt and Cianfichi, who is an event planner, own a home decor and furnishings store, Hazelnut, on Magazine Street in New Orleans, according to New York Times.

Batt is openly gay. He has played gay roles on films like "Jeffrey" and "Kiss Me, Guido" as well as on stage in the production "La Cage aux Folles."  In 2005, Batt told Playbill that he used to worry about the effect of coming out on his career: "When I played the lead in "Sunset Blvd.," the movie of "Jeffrey" was coming out, and I was petrified. Back then, every agent told you that if you want to play a straight role, you don't come out. This was before Ellen [DeGeneres] came out. But now I couldn't give a rat's ass. It's normal to be gay."

In 2010, Batt told Huffington Post opened up about actors who have gauged the cost of coming out and decided they cannot afford it.

"If you are openly gay, the masses can be asses and sometimes can't get past the fact that that's how someone lives their private life," said Batt. "Some actors have to make a choice. If they have the opportunity to become these huge megastars, making millions and millions of dollars and have to live a lie, that's a choice they have to make. Not that I would ever be a big star, but I just had to live my life the way I saw fit."
