The life of a celebrity has its ups and downs. Of course, there's the fame and fortune side, however, with all that good sometimes comes some bad. It's no secret that celebrities rarely have any privacy, and many of them go to great lengths to keep their private life private. When it comes to their love lives, the world is particularly interested. No matter what, we always want to know who's involved with who.
When celebrity couples get engaged, most of them try to keep their big days secret from the public, and many will go to great lengths to keep everything as private as possible. As a result, they've perfected the art of keeping things so secret, that the public doesn't even know they're married until weeks, or even months after, when they choose to share their news with the world.
10 Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher
When Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis got engaged, they kept the world on their toes when they would get married. In fact, they came up with a plan to throw the public off completely, and it worked! In January of 2015, they had people talking about them secretly getting married when Ashton posted a picture for the holidays, signing it "the Kutchers." They kept the charade up for quite a few months, dancing around the subject of whether or not they got married. Little did the public know, they weren't married after all. Instead, they officially tied the knot a few months later in July. They worked hard to keep the secret, notifying guests just 24 hours before where the wedding was taking place.
9 Kerry Washington & Nnamdi Asomugha
We all know how hard Kerry Washington works to keep her private life private, which is why it's not surprising that she fought hard to keep her marriage and wedding day under wraps. Kerry married her fiance, NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha on June 24, 2013, and the world only found out when the media dug up their marriage certificate. The couple kept everything pretty low-key, and not going over the top at all with some lavish wedding. They got married in Hailey, Idaho.

Cardi B and Offset were one celebrity couple who really managed to keep their wedding a secret from the public. The two were married in September of 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia.

They found someone who would come to their house to marry them, and as a result, the two had their ceremony in their bedroom.
Cardi didn't have any makeup on, nor did she have a ring or even a wedding dress. There was only one guest at the ceremony — Cardi's cousin — who was there to serve as a witness. Even though they had officially gotten married, Offset still officially proposed to Cardi a month later with an outrageously large ring.
