Even if it’s Hollywood, love will always be in the air. Well, in secrecy at least, because plenty of celebrity couples have tied the knot and have held weddings in shrouded mystery. In fact, sometimes the media doesn’t learn a duo has exchanged vows until some time after the wedding has occurred, which just goes to show you that these married couples did one heck of a job keeping everything hush-hush.

From Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively and even Gwyneth Paltrow (twice!), some celebrities prefer walking down the aisle and saying “I do” without gawkers, camera flashes, and helicopters. Want to read more about stars’ unexpected nuptials over the years? Scroll down for a fun trip down memory lane to relive the biggest secret celebrity weddings ever!

Michelle Williams and Phil Elverum, 2018

Michelle, who is a notoriously private person, kept her nuptials under wraps while marrying Phil, a musician, in early July 2018. The actress once told Vanity, “Ultimately the way [Phil] loves me is the way I want to live my life on the whole. I work to be free inside of the moment. I parent to let [my daughter] Matilda feel free to be herself, and I am finally loved by someone who makes me feel free.”

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, 2018

Morning Joe co-hosts Mika and Joe decided to say “I do” in secret at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. in November 2018. The pair even had the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence as a backdrop!

“Everything we do is exposed, and everything felt exposed every step of the way, so we want this to be private until it’s over,” Mika told Vanity Fair.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, 2015

The actors went ahead and swapped vows in a private ceremony at their home in Los Angeles back in 2015 in front of famous faces like Sandra Bullock and Ellen DeGeneres. But the happy times didn’t last, as the pair called it quits in early 2018.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, 2014

Brad and Angelina got married in secrecy at the Château Miraval in France back in 2014, officially becoming one heck of a power couple. The love fizzled out though, as the couple split in 2016, kick-starting a child custody battle over their six kids that just recently wrapped up.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, 2012

This majorly attractive couple tied the knot in Charleston, SC back in 2012. Since then, they’ve had two children, Inez and James. Ryan was previously married to Scarlett Johansson from 2008 to 2011.

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig, 2011

Daniel did like his James Bond character and held a top-secret wedding ceremony in New York for his Oscar-winning actress bride in 2011.

Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, 2010

We wouldn’t be able to “call it,” because Javier and Penélope didn’t give it away that they were getting married until after it happened. The pair exchanged vows in front of family members during a small ceremony held at a friend’s home in the Bahamas in 2010.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, 2003

Gwyneth is making her second appearance on the list because, just as we mentioned above, the Oscar winner married to the Coldplay frontman in Santa Barbara, CA back in 2003. Their wedding was such a secret that no family members were even in attendance. We sadly all know how this marriage ended up, as the pair said goodbye to their union in 2016. They continue to co-parent their two kids, Apple and Moses, today.
