SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea state TV is reporting for the first time that leader Kim Jong Un is married.

The announcement Wednesday follows weeks of speculation about a mysterious woman who has appeared beside him at recent public events.

The woman wasn't shown with Kim during the North Korean broadcast. But a well-dressed woman has accompanied him at a recent concert and public tours.

The North Korean announcer says Kim toured an amusement park with his wife, "comrade Ri Sol Ju."
