In a world dominated by social media, we're used to knowing anything and everything about
our favorite celebrities.
That, of course, sometimes extends to their families.
But not all celebs are keen on sharing intimate details of their lives and some have kept
their spouses mostly out of the spotlight.
For that reason, you might be surprised by the gorgeous husbands these celebs are hiding.
If you're wondering why Kerry Washington was
sometimes wearing big coats and holding big bags on her hit television show Scandal, it's
because she was busy making babies with her gorgeous husband, Nnamdi Asomugha, whom she
married in secret in 2013.
Asomugha is arguably best known to football fans for his successful career in the NFL,
but since retiring in 2013, he's also a producer and actor in his own right.
Vocal powerhouse Jessica Simpson's first marriage
to Nick Lachey was the basis for the MTV reality show Newlyweds, but that marriage didn't last.
Her second marriage, however, is another story.
Simpson got engaged to former NFL pro Eric Johnson in 2010 after just a few months of
dating; however, they didn't actually tie the knot until July 2014.
In May 2017, Simpson celebrated their anniversary with a sweet post on Instagram, writing, "7
years, 2 kids and a whole lotta love later."
"The best thing about Eric is that he's just really thoughtful, and he keeps me very centered
and always makes me feel like my feet are on the ground."
Two-time Oscar nominee Keira Knightley met
British rocker James Righton, formerly of the English band Klaxons, at a dinner party
- and she had no idea who he was.
Righton told the New York Post: "She'd never heard of us.
Keira was in America when we were having our moment in the sun in the UK, so she was oblivious.
But over the years, she came to loads of gigs."
Despite Knightley having no idea who Righton was at first, a relationship was kindled.
The couple went public in 2011 and said "I do" in 2013.
Most people know actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson
as one half of the lovable and hilarious Modern Family couple of Cam and Mitch, but in real
life he's married to whip-smart and gorgeous lawyer Justin Mikita.
And Mikita takes great pride in their marriage.
On the day of their wedding, Mikita tweeted: "Husband.
Not partner.
We've worked hard to call each other husband... so let's start using it.
K thanks."
Ferguson explained to Ellen how even though their relationship hasn't changed since their
wedding, being able to call Mikita his husband is also important to him, saying:
"I got to check the 'Married' box and then put Justin down as my emergency contact and
say his relationship to me is my husband."
Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo may have
had a difficult choice between dishy doctors on the hit medical drama, but in real life
there was only one man for her.
Still, it took the actress a whole decade to open up about her super-secret, low-key
wedding to music producer husband Chris Ivery.
She told Martha Stewart Weddings: "At that point, I was really dying for privacy.
So we flew out on a redeye Thursday night.
Friday morning, we woke up, went to City Hall, had the wedding really quick, and then we
went to a waffle lunch after."
The happy couple welcomed their third child together in December 2016.
His leading role in TV hit White Collar propelled
Matt Bomer to stardom, but by the time he'd become big enough to be bothered with gay
rumors, Bomer had already secretly settled down.
He married Simon Halls, a publicist and his partner of ten years, in a chill New York
wedding in 2011.
The actor let the cat out of the bag at the 2012 Desert AIDS Project event.
"And I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family.
Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry.
Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is."
Bomer told Out magazine in a wide-ranging interview:
"There's a security, a validity of knowing that it's legal.
It's hard to put into words."
He also shared that he and Halls endeavor to be the best parents they can possibly be
to their children first and foremost.
In that respect, the actor feels he couldn't possibly have found a better partner.
She may be a huge, in-demand movie star, but
Zoe Saldana is anything but tell-all tabloid fodder.
In fact, she married long-time partner, Italian painter and sculptor Marco Perego, in complete
secret.
When pressed, Saldana explained that she needed someone who could keep up with her, telling
Net-A-Porter: "I'm fortunate to be challenged by an artist
who also pushes himself."
As a former professional wrestler, Stacy Keibler
is a tough cookie.
But her unlucky-in-love storylines with the WWE carried over into her real life, for a
time anyway.
She nabbed none other than George Clooney back in 2011, only for the two to split in
2013.
It seems her real prince charming was waiting in the wings, however, as Keibler wed gorgeous
tech entrepreneur Jared Pobre in an intimate beach ceremony in Mexico the following year.
She told People: "Marriage is the ultimate bond of love and
friendship.
It means putting all your faith and trust into a person that you can't help but believe
is your soulmate.
Someone who has all of your best interests at heart; someone handpicked for you, to help
you grow and be the best person that you can be.
Jared is all of this for me."
