Banksy's Vegas Wedding Secret Revealed

Banksy, the enigmatic street artist whose true identity has long been a subject of speculation, celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary after tying the knot in Las Vegas. The artist, known globally as Banksy, is in fact Robin Gunningham, a former public schoolboy. He married political researcher Joy Millward on January 2, 2006, at the iconic Chapel of the Bells in Las Vegas.

According to their State of Nevada wedding certificate, Gunningham used his birth name, Robin Gunningham, for the ceremony, despite already having a significant international profile as Banksy. He later adopted the alias 'David Jones' and has since settled into a quiet, middle-class life in a Grade II listed property in rural Somerset. Neighbors know him as 'David' and are largely unaware of his celebrated artistic career.

Recent investigations have corroborated Gunningham's identity, including details from a 2000 arrest in New York where he reportedly confessed to defacing a billboard. Immigration records also link his alias, David Jones, to international travel. Gunningham's current residence in Somerset is a heavily secured property, a stark contrast to the gritty urban environments often depicted in his artwork. He maintains a discreet existence, occasionally seen tending his garden, a far cry from his edgy public persona.
