Hayley Westenra has secretly wed her fiancé, according to magazine Woman's Day – but the Kiwi opera star's father is denying it.

Woman's Day editor Sido Kitchin told the New Zealand Herald Westenra and Arnaud Sabard tied the knot on Sunday, in front of 90 guests in a secret North Canterbury location.

"We're delighted to be sharing Hayley and Arnaud's beautiful wedding exclusively in Woman's Day next week," Kitchin told the paper.

"It was a rainy day, but nothing could dampen Hayley's happiness. She looked exquisite."

Woman's Day plans to feature the wedding in its next issue, out this Monday. The couple have apparently signed an exclusive deal with the magazine to cover the wedding.

But Westenra's father Gerald this morning denied she'd tied the knot, telling Fairfax Media the wedding was close, but "hasn't happened yet", and someone at the Woman's Day might have "misread the date" – despite Kitchin's claims.

Westenra and Sabard have been together for three years. Sabard was a sound engineer on one of her tours when they met.
