15 Celebrity Couples Who Got Married in Secret
These A-listers surprised fans by revealing their secret weddings sometimes months after they said: "I do."
While some celebrities hold extravagant weddings and may even televise tying the knot, celebrities like Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus prefer having more low-key ceremonies—and later surprising fans with news of their secret nuptials. With all eyes already on them, it’s no surprise as to why some celebrities would rather stray away from the media during an intimate moment with their loved ones. Here, discover some of L’OFFICIEL’s favorite celebrity couples who kept their wedding ceremonies a secret.
