Celebrity couples are frequently followed by the paparazzi and their behavior and looks are discussed on media channels from a new hairstyle to the shoes they decide to wear. The largest headlines are reserved for their relationships, with questions around possible engagements, a secret wedding ceremony, or most salaciously, speculation around reasons for a breakup. Yet amidst the Hollywood celebrity circuit there are those who have been able to keep much of their relationship away from the public eye to the extent that some celebrity couples may be unknown to you.
There are celebrity couples who are only confirmed as such when they celebrate their anniversary. Choosing an anniversary gift like these can make public a relationship that was once undercover. The gift is also a sign of love, admiration, and respect between the couple such as those listed here:
Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender
There are many people who are unaware that Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender are married. In 2017, the couple married in a relaxed beach ceremony in Ibiza and later honeymooned in Italy. Vikander, born in Sweden, and Fassbender, born in Germany, now live in Lisbon, Portugal. Whilst they admire each other’s work they are rarely seen on the red carpet together even if they are attending the same event. They also rarely do joint interviews, which are reasons why most do not know they are a couple.
Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith
Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smiths’ relationship was so under the radar that it was only when they were seen registering for a marriage license in August 2019 that the news became public. The couple first met at a party in 2018 and were soon living side by side. Turner-Smith has said that the minute she first saw Jackson, she knew she wanted to be with him, adding that Jackson followed her around the party the entire night. The couple now has a daughter, born in April 2020.
Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse
British actors Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson first met at some point in 2018 but have kept their romantic life away from the public so the date is unclear, though first reports of their relationship were published in July of that year. Pattinson had previously dated Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart and ended his engagement to FKA Twigs in late 2017 whilst Waterhouse had been in a two-year relationship with Bradly Cooper which explains the focus on privacy in their own relationship, which Pattinson only confirmed in 2019. Whilst there are rumors of an engagement, the couple continues to evade the press most of the time.
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn
Having met at the Met Gala in 2016, Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn remain a private celebrity couple and were able to stay under the radar for the first year of their relationship with Swift going on dates in disguise in London, where Alwyn was living. It was in 2018 that the couple first publicly supported each other’s work. Most recently, they have been creative collaborators on Taylor’s albums yet still want to keep their relationship out of the headlines.
Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz
Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden and actress Cameron Diaz met in 2014, through his sister-in-law, Nicole Richie. After seven months the couple was engaged and married in 2015 when Madden was 41 years old and Diaz was 47 years old. Throughout their lives together they have remained a private couple and shortly after their marriage Diaz announced her retirement In January 2020, to the surprise of many, their daughter Raddix was born and the family is enjoying time together with small updates offered on Diaz’s Instagram account.
Grimes and Elon Musk
The pairing of 31-year-old electric musician Grimes (Claire Elise Boucher) and 48-year-old Elon Musk may seem unusual but their relationship dates back to 2018 and the couple has a shared sense of humor that is quite unusual and support each other’s work and extraordinary plans. In May 2020, their son X Æ A-Xii was born, which catapulted the family into the public domain. It is suggested the couple may be the first to marry in outer space.
