There are some celebrities whose relationships seem to always be in the news, but there are plenty of others whose love lives you probably don't think about much. Most likely, it's because they're able to keep their private and public lives separate, but that's not to say they aren't quite happy.

00:00In a world dominated by social media, we're used to knowing anything and everything about
00:04our favorite celebrities.
00:05That, of course, sometimes extends to their families.
00:08But not all celebs are keen on sharing intimate details of their lives, and some have kept
00:13their spouses mostly out of the spotlight.
00:15For that reason, you might be surprised by the gorgeous husbands these celebs are hiding.
00:21Kerry Washington
00:23If you're wondering why Kerry Washington was sometimes wearing big coats and holding big
00:27bags on her hit television show Scandal, it's because she was busy making babies with her
00:31gorgeous husband, Nnamdi Asumwa, who she married in secret in 2013.
00:37Asumwa is arguably best known to football fans for his successful career in the NFL,
00:42but since retiring in 2013, he's also a producer and actor in his own right.
00:47Jessica Simpson
00:49Vocal powerhouse Jessica Simpson's first marriage to Nick Lachey was the basis for the MTV reality
00:54show Newlyweds, but that marriage didn't last.
00:57Her second marriage, however, is another story.
01:00Simpson got engaged to former NFL pro Eric Johnson in 2010, after just a few months of
01:05dating.
01:06However, they didn't actually tie the knot until July 2014.
01:10In May 2017, Simpson celebrated their anniversary with a sweet post on Instagram, writing,
01:15Seven years, two kids, and a whole lot of love later.
01:18The nice thing about Eric is that he's just really thoughtful, and he keeps me very centered
01:23and always makes me feel like my feet are on the ground."
01:28Keira Knightley
01:30Two-time Oscar nominee Keira Knightley met British rocker James Wrighton, formerly of
01:34the English band Klaxons, at a dinner party, and she had no idea who he was.
01:39Wrighton told the New York Post,
01:40She'd never heard of us.
01:41Keira was in America when we were having our moment in the sun in the UK, so she was oblivious.
01:46But over the years, she came to loads of gigs.
01:49Despite Knightley having no idea who Wrighton was at first, a relationship was kindled.
01:53The couple went public in 2011 and said,
01:55"...I do," in 2013.
01:58Jesse Tyler Ferguson
02:00Most people know actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson as one half of the lovable and hilarious modern
02:05family couple of Cam and Mitch, but in real life, he's married to whip-smart and gorgeous
02:09lawyer Justin Makita, and Makita takes great pride in their marriage.
02:13On the day of their wedding, Makita tweeted,
02:15"'Husband,' not partner.
02:17We've worked hard to call each other husband, so let's start using it.
02:20K, thanks."
02:21Ferguson explained to Ellen how, even though their relationship hasn't changed since their
02:25wedding, being able to call Makita his husband is also important to him, saying,
02:29"...I got to check the married box and then put Justin down as my emergency contact and
02:33say his relationship to me is my husband."
02:36Ellen Pompeo
02:38Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo may have had a difficult choice between dishy doctors
02:43on the hit medical drama, but in real life, there was only one man for her.
02:47Still, it took the actress a whole decade to open up about her super-secret, low-key
02:51wedding to music producer husband Chris Ivory.
02:54She told Martha Stewart Weddings,
02:56"...At that point, I was really dying for privacy, so we flew out on a red-eye Thursday
03:00night.
03:01Friday morning, we woke up, went to City Hall, had the wedding really quick, and then we
03:04went to a waffle lunch after."
03:06The happy couple welcomed their third child together in December 2016.
03:12Matt Bomer
03:13His leading role in TV hit White Collar propelled Matt Bomer to stardom, but by the time he'd
03:18become big enough to be bothered with gay rumors, Bomer had already secretly settled
03:23down.
03:24He married Simon Halls, a publicist and his partner of ten years, in a chill New York
03:28wedding in 2011.
03:29The actor let the cat out of the bag at the 2012 Desert AIDS Project event.
03:34"...and I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family, Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry,
03:40thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is."
03:42Bomer told Out magazine in a wide-ranging interview,
03:45"...there's a security, a validity of knowing that it's legal.
03:48It's hard to put into words."
03:49He also shared that he and Halls endeavored to be the best parents they can possibly be
03:54to their children first and foremost.
03:56In that respect, the actor feels he couldn't possibly have found a better partner.
04:00Zoe Saldana
04:02She may be a huge in-demand movie star, but Zoe Saldana is anything but tell-all tabloid
04:08fodder.
04:09In fact, she married longtime partner, Italian painter and sculptor Marco Perego in complete
04:14secret.
04:15When pressed, Saldana explained that she needed someone who could keep up with her, telling
04:18Net-A-Porter,
04:19"...I'm fortunate to be challenged by an artist who also pushes himself."
04:24Stacey Keebler
04:25As a former professional wrestler, Stacey Keebler is a tough cookie.
04:30Her unlucky-in-love storylines with the WWE carried over into her real life — for a
04:35time, anyway.
04:36She nabbed none other than George Clooney back in 2011, only for the two to split in
04:402013.
04:42It seems her real prince charming was waiting in the wings, however, as Keebler wed gorgeous
04:46tech entrepreneur Jared Pobre in an intimate beach ceremony in Mexico the following year.
04:51She told People,
04:52"...marriage is the ultimate bond of love and friendship.
04:55It means putting all your faith and trust into a person that you can't help but believe
04:58is your soulmate.
04:59Someone who has all of your best interests at heart.
05:02Someone hand-picked for you, to help you grow and be the best person that you can be.
05:06Jared is all of this for me."
