“The boyfriend” is finally the husband!
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Kerry Kennedy’s daughter Mariah Kennedy Cuomo married her longtime beau, Tellef Lundevall, on Saturday night, sources tell Pvnew exclusively.
Lundevall became a household figure of sorts during the COVID-19 pandemic when he moved into Cuomo’s mansion and was routinely referred to as “the boyfriend” during the then-New York governor’s infamous daily briefings.

The Cuomo family gathered in the Kennedy stronghold of Hyannis Port, Mass., where “nearly 400 Cuomos, Kennedys and their friends” were “at the Kennedy compound over the weekend to toast the happy couple,” a spy tells us.
“The weekend was absolutely gorgeous, not a single detail was left unattended,” the witness shares. “Mariah looked stunning. There was nothing but love from start to finish.”
We hear that Cuomo and Kennedy — who were married from 1990 to 2005 and have three daughters together — “were visibly so proud and happy, beaming the entire time.”
The jam-packed weekend included a “sailing race on Friday afternoon to kick off the festivities.”
Cuomo’s best pals — Billy Joel and his wife, Alexis Roderick, whose 2015 wedding Cuomo officiated — “sailed into the Hyannis Harbor on his famed boat, the Alexa, to join the festivities,” we hear.
At the wedding, Cuomo, 66, and Mariah, 29, “danced their father-daughter dance to Joel’s 1977 smash hit ‘Just the Way You Are,'” a moved spy says.
Guests dined on herb-roasted Chatham cod, filet mignon and lemon-chive linguine, we hear.
Among the family members spotted at the wedding were family matriarchs Matilda Cuomo and Ethel Kennedy, filmmakers Rory Kennedy and Maria Cuomo-Cole (and Maria’s fashion designer husband, Kenneth Cole), plus former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo and his wife, Cristina Greeven Cuomo, and producer and activist Timothy Shriver.
Also attending the nuptials were former top Cuomo aide — turned “What’s Left Unsaid” author and political commentator — Melissa DeRosa, Blackstone senior adviser Bill Mulrow, ex-New York state budget director Robert Mujica and billionaire 77 WABC Radio owner John Catsimatidis and his wife, Margo Catsimatidis.
We hear that PR whiz Ken Sunshine, US News & World Report exec Eric Gertler, Time CEO Jessica Sibley and lobbyist and onetime Mario Cuomo aide Tonio Burgos were also spotted.
A spy tells us the bride wore “a breathtaking Italian tulle strapless gown designed by Vera Wang, a longtime family friend.”
The groom, 29, is the CEO and founder of Accelerated Digital Media, a digital marketing and analytics firm based in Chicago. The 6-foot-4 Norwegian was previously on the football squad at Brown, where the couple met.
Also at the wedding were former congressmen Joseph Kennedy II, Joseph Kennedy III and Patrick Kennedy.
The newlyweds have been together for more than six years and relocated to New York City in 2023 after Mariah graduated from biz school at Northwestern. She’s the founder and CEO of Socrates Social, a social media advisory firm for execs.
We previously reported that the pair got engaged on a Cuomo family trip to Sicily — home to former first lady of New York Matilda’s family — when Tellef surprised his bride on the Italian getaway to propose.
Also on the trip were Mariah’s sisters, Cara and Michaela.
