This TV doctor has a new title: husband. On Monday, September 27, The Good Doctor’s Freddie Highmore revealed he secretly got married. More surprising, perhaps, was the fact that his spontaneous wedding announcement included a bit of Tom Cruise shade.

During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the late-night host noticed the 29-year-old actor was wearing a ring on that finger.
“Yes, it is a wedding ring. Yes, I got married,” Highmore said. “It’s funny ever since I’ve been wearing this ring people have been asking me if I’m married, so I figured, I should clarify it.”
The Bates Hotel alum explained that while he’s excited about being betrothed, “I’m not gonna jump up and down on the couch on the talk show and express my excitement that way. I know that you do that in America.”
The actor’s comment was a little dig at Cruise’s infamous 2005 talk show appearance in which he excitedly jumped on a couch to profess his love for his then-new girlfriend, Katie Holmes. The pair went on to welcome one daughter in April 2006 before getting married seven months later. They split in August 2012.
