Dynasty<\/a> star, 92, was among the guests as her artist boy Alexander \u2018Sacha\u2019\u00a0Newley got hitched to singer-songwriter Sheela Raman in a lakeside castle ceremony in Salzburg at the weekend.<\/p>\nHe is the son of Joan\u2019s second husband \u2013 the late actor and singer Anthony Newley \u2013 and this marks Sheela\u2019s first marriage. <\/p>\n
The couple had become engaged in 2019, but their original plans for a wedding in the south of France were cancelled the following year due to Covid restrictions. Five years later, they celebrated their marriage in Austria.<\/p>\n
Sheela shared photographs of the ceremony on Instagram, writing: \u201cWhat a gift to stand side-by-side, surrounded by our beloved friends and family, as we step into this new chapter together. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cOur wedding day was more than a celebration, it was a reflection of the creative life we\u2019re building together, full of music, laughter and love, and our little girl, who makes every day more glorious as she blossoms. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful to our family and friends who travelled from near and far, held us in joy, and communed with us on this sacred day. It will live with us always.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nJoan, who attended in a light blue dress with a matching hat, said online: \u201cIt was a magical three days.\u201d Sheela replied: \u201cIt was so wonderful to celebrate with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe ceremony took place against an Alpine backdrop, with the newlyweds photographed on a jetty before gathering with family and friends inside the castle. <\/p>\n
\nSheela performed the track Feeling Good during the reception \u2013 a song written by Anthony Newley for the 1964 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint \u2013 The Smell of the Crowd. <\/p>\n
\nIt was first performed by Cy Grant and later recorded by Nina Simone. <\/p>\n
\nThe couple also serenaded one another in front of their guests.<\/p>\n
\nSacha, a distinguished painter, has produced portraits of Gore Vidal, Christopher Reeve and Billy Wilder. <\/p>\n
\nHe and Sheela welcomed their daughter, Deia Shanaya, in 2022, making Joan a grandmother for the fourth time.<\/p>\n
\nJoan has been married to her fifth husband, film producer Percy Gibson, since 2002. <\/p>\n
\nShe said of her growing family: \u201cIt\u2019s really lovely to become a grandma again. It\u2019s all these grandchildren that keeps me so young.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nJoan also has two daughters: writer Tara Newley, from her marriage to Anthony Newley, and actress Katyana Kass, from her third marriage to record executive Ron Kass.<\/p>\n
\nJoan\u2019s first marriage was to actor Maxwell Reed in 1952. <\/p>\n
\nShe later wed Anthony Newley in 1963, with their marriage ending in 1970. <\/p>\n
\nJoan then married Ron Kass in 1972, and Swedish singer Peter Holm in 1985, before divorcing two years later. <\/p>\n
\nWith Percy, whom she met at a book signing in 2000, she has said she finally found stability, calling him \u201ca wonderful, kind, truly good man\u201d and \u201cthe love of her life\u201d.<\/p>\n
