TORONTO — The son of ‘80s pop singer Thomas Dolby married his longtime partner Wednesday in Suffolk, England.
Dolby, 56, tweeted a photo of the happy couple along with words of congratulations.
On Facebook, Dolby wrote: “It’s a day of celebration in the Dolby family. Congrats to you all! So much love! I’ve got something in my eye. *happy sniffle*”
Harper Robertson, 23, is one of three children Dolby has with former U.S. actress Kathleen Beller (Dynasty).

“I just felt completely trapped by the way that I looked,” he told the BBC in 2012. “I felt like I didn’t make sense to other people unless I was able to explain that I just wasn’t a girl.”
Dolby, who is best known for his smash hit “She Blinded Me With Science,” has supported Harper’s journey — even writing a song about a woman who becomes a man for his 2011 album A Map of the Floating City.
Dolby is currently an arts professor at John Hopkins University in Baltimore.
Other celebrities with transgender children include actors Warren Beatty and Annette Bening; singer R. Kelly; and music icon Cher.
