Lord of the Rings and National Treasure star Sean Bean was released Friday from a London jail, where he was held overnight for allegedly assaulting his new bride.

Police arrested the 49-year-old actor at his north London home after receiving a phone call from Bean's wife of four months, Georgina, who claimed he assaulted her during an argument. He was detained for several hours, released on bail and told no further action would be taken.

"Everything is okay. Sean and I are at home together enjoying the sunshine," Georgina, 29, told reporters. "He was arrested, but everything was blown out of proportion...There's no problem between us."

The newlyweds were seen smiling and holding hands on Saturday.

This is Bean's fourth marriage.
