It's a new beginning for Talinda Bennington, the widow of late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington.
Bennington announced on Instagram that she had married Michael Fredman, as well as clarified earlier reports claiming that she married her new husband on the same day of the year that she married Chester in 2006.
The post explained that she and Fredman wed on Jan. 4, rather than Jan 1., her anniversary with Chester. "With joy and love I want to set something straight," said Bennington, 43, in the caption. "ON JANUARY 4th, I wed a wonderful man, great friend, and son this weekend. We celebrated with all of our family and friends on the beautiful island of O’ahu."
"The day we chose was a day of meaning, in many different ways," Bennington explained. "My anniversary with my love, Chester, JAN 1 Was NOT THE [DAY]. Jan 1st will always be the day I married Chester. I would never paint over that beautiful day with anything else."
She then directly addressed the tabloids that reported she had, in fact, wed on her anniversary.
Chester died by suicide in the summer of 2017 at the age of 41. He and Talinda were married for 11 years and shared three children: Tyler, 13, and twins Lilly and Lila, 8.
