Lord Walney said he was 'over the moon' after he married his long-term partner.
The former Barrow MP John Woodcock married journalist Isabel Hardman in a small ceremony at the town's registry office.
The pair brought their first child into the world in May 2020.
Reflecting on his wedding, Lord Walney said on social media: "Over the moon to get married to Isabel Hardman.
"Super small and simple - just the kids and two witnesses at Barrow registry office!
"We are so happy."
The peer represented Barrow and Furness as a member of parliament for nine years having been elected in 2010.
He left the Labour party in 2018 to sit as an independent.
In 2019 he announced he would not contest the upcoming general election, expecting a baby.
