Secret Celebrity Weddings

From Ryan Reynold's surprise “I do” to Blake Lively to Beyonce‘s hush-hush ceremony to Jay Z, take a look back in photos at stars who married in secret.

Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

The couple surprised fans in October 2019 by announcing they secretly tied the knot after a decade of dating. Reports previously claimed that Burton and Morgan, who share son Gus and daughter George, wed in 2014.

 “I’d say words... but there aren’t any,” the Walking Dead star captioned a photo from the wedding via Instagram. “Mrs. Morgan... I love you. Thank you for making me the luckiest man in the world. Xojd.”

Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn

After months of rumors, the singer finally confirmed that he quietly wed his longtime love. He called her his “wife” in his song “Remember the Name,” explaining in an interview that he actually wrote the track “before I and Cherry got married and I knew that we’d be married by the point that the song came out.”

Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz

Us Weekly confirmed in July 2019 that Klum and Kaulitz tied the knot after quietly obtaining a marriage license. The couple began dating in February 2018 and announced their engagement in December of that year.

Hunter Biden and Melissa Cohen

The son of former vice president Joe Biden reportedly married the South Africa native in a secret Los Angeles ceremony on May 16, 2019. The news came shortly after his split from Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter’s late brother, Beau Biden.

Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley

The 100 costars kept their nuptials under wraps until June 2019 when they revealed they had already wed. "Recently I married my best friend and soul mate @WildpipM We are very happy and ask that you keep your comments kind and respect our privacy at this time," Taylor captioned a photo at the time, with her husband sharing a similar sentiment. "It is with such a full heart that I call @MisElizaJane my wife This is something we both cherish very deeply and are beyond happy," he wrote.

Zoe Kravitz and Karl Glusman

Us broke the news in May 2019 that the Big Little Lies star and the Love actor are “legally married.” The private couple got engaged in February 2018 but waited eight months to share the proposal story.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner

Us exclusively revealed in November 2018 that the Game of Thrones star and the Jonas Brothers member were planning to tie the knot in France in summer 2019. However, the duo decided to throw caution to the wind and get hitched in Las Vegas after the 2019 Billboard Music Awards on May 1. The pair said, "I do," in front of an Elvis Impersonator, who later revealed that he was booked for the ceremony a week prior. Jonas and Turner's French extravaganza will likely still take place but will serve as a celebration for the newlyweds

Miranda Lambert and Brendan Mcloughlin

Not only was the country singer's wedding a surprise — the fact that she's even been in a relationship was a complete shock. After declaring herself "happily single" in August 2018, Lambert unexpectedly revealed on February 16, 2019, that she said "I do" to a mystery man named Brendan Mcloughlin. "In honor of Valentine's Day I wanted to share some news. I met the love of my life," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "And we got hitched!"

Rebecca Ferguson

The Mission: Impossible – Fallout actress revealed in January 2019 that she and partner Rory — whose last name she has never shared publicly — secretly married in a cottage over the holidays. Ferguson wore a “wedding skirt” in lieu of a traditional dress while guests sported “Wellington boots and big woolly socks and big ruggy jumpers” and celebrated with games. The couple share a daughter. The Greatest Showman star is also the mother of son Isaac with ex-boyfriend Ludwig Hallberg.

Colleen Ballinger and Erik Stocklin

2018 was a busy one for Ballinger. "This year i got pregnant, engaged and married, all in the same year. Yeah, we got married ... woops, forgot to tell you that one," she told viewers in an end-of-year review video posted on her YouTube channel in December 2018. The former Haters Back Off star didn't reveal any other details about her wedding to Stocklin, whom she met on the set of the now-cancelled Netflix show.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

Cyrus and Hemsworth sparked wedding speculation on Christmas Eve in 2018 after photos of the twosome cutting a cake in front of “Mr. and Mrs." balloons surfaced. Two days later, the Disney alum confirmed that they’d tied the knot by sharing multiple black-and-white pictures of the couple dressed up in formal attire. Cyrus captioned one of the sweet snaps, “10 years later…” (Cyrus and Hemsworth dated on and off for nearly a decade after meeting on the set of The Last Song in 2009.)

Hilary Swank and Philip Schneider

The actress quietly married the entrepreneur at the Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, California, on August 28. She opened up about the "stunning private community" and shared wedding photos with Vogue. "It was timeless. There is just no other way to describe it. I was overwhelmed with such gratitude and thanks to be marrying the man of my dreams and to see all the people we love together in the middle of such a profound setting. It was truly a dream come true," she gushed. Her maid of honor was best friend Mariska Hargitay. 

Michelle Williams and Phil Elverum

Williams tied the knot with the musician in a secret ceremony in the Adirondacks, the actress revealed in a Vanity Fair cover story published in July 2018. Only a small group of their friends and their two daughters were present for the exchange of vows. The Manchester by the Sea star said of falling for Elverum a decade after the death of partner Heath Ledger: “I never gave up on love.”

Daniel Tosh and Carly Hallam

Comedian Daniel Tosh secretly married Carly Hallam — a writer on his Comedy Central show, Tosh.0 — at a private ceremony in Malibu, California, on April 15, 2016, TMZ reports. Hallam has written for the Comedy Central series since 2012 and also writes for NBC sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Cardi B and Offset

The rappers secretly married in Atlanta on September 20, 2017, according to a marriage license obtained by TMZ the following June. The Migos member, who referred to the “Bodak Yellow” rapper as his “wife” at the 2018 BET Awards, did not publicly propose to Cardi until October 2017, one month after they wed.
