The figure skater tweeted the news on New Year's Eve (December 31), adding that he will hold a wedding party in the summer.
"I'm married!" Weir wrote. "No more livin' in sin! (sic). Wedding in summer! But all the official stuff is done now!"
Weir later thanked his followers for their words of congratulations, writing: "Thank you to everyone for your well wishes to me and @vitya_zvesda! It means a lot to have your blessings! Mama loves you!"
Meanwhile, Voronov also celebrated the union on Twitter.
"Ringing in the New Year with my new hubby," he wrote.
In January 2011, Weir declared that he does not define himself by his sexuality, claiming he was surprised by the press reaction to his decision to come out of the closet in his autobiography Welcome to My World.
The skater was named a judge for ABC's Skating With The Stars in November 2010.
