The couple would eventually marry in February 1982.

Giraldo said: ‘We feel incredibly blessed to share this moment with our loved ones and fans.

‘I’m marrying my best friend, this is a dream come true.’

Benatar first met her future husband and guitarist in 1979 when Neil Giraldo came to her rehearsal space shortly after she had signed her first record deal. 

For Benatar, it was love at first sight, revealing how she thought to herself, ‘Girl, you have just seen the father of your children,’ in her autobiography Between A Heart And a Rock Place (2010).

The two would create magic together both personally and professionally, leading to the duo’s wildly successful career, releasing 12 studio albums between 1979 and 2003.

Along with Love Is A Battle Field, Benatar has had a score of hit songs such Heartbreaker, We Live For Love, You Better Run, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Treat Me Right, Fire And Ice, Promises In The Dark, Shadows Of The Night, Little Too Late, Looking For A Stranger, We Belong, Invincible, and Sex as a Weapon, among others.
