Christian Ponder and ESPN's Samantha Steele were wed last week in St. Croix County Court by Court Commissioner Stephen Dunlap, the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram reported.

Steele tweeted Wednesday morning: "Twitter is so tricky. Who knew that 'she's pregnant' & 'they'll be divorced soon' are just the 2012 version of 'congrats'! Thx guys! :)"

Ponder is trying to help the Vikings reach the playoffs.

Ponder has received criticism for the timing of the relationship given his struggles.
