“Got married! From partners in politics to life partners, so blessed,” the Somali-born politician posted on Instagram, alongside a photo of the couple.

Ms Omar, a Democrat who represents part of the state of Minnesota, is a prominent critic of President Donald Trump.

Her previous marriage to Ahmed Hirsi ended last year. They share three children.
