7 Celebrity Couples Who Kept Their Romance Secret Until Their Wedding Day
In the world of celebrity culture where relationships often play out on social media and red carpets, some stars choose a different path—complete secrecy until the wedding bells ring. From Bollywood power couples to sports icons, these seven celebrity pairs managed to keep their love stories hidden from public scrutiny until they were ready to say "I do."
Why Do Celebrities Keep Relationships Secret?
Celebrity romance typically unfolds like a public spectacle with Instagram posts, red-carpet appearances, and viral moments of affection. However, some stars deliberately shield their personal bonds from tabloids and public attention until marriage. The reasons vary widely: privacy protection, career focus, cultural pressures, or even avoiding what some consider relationship "jinxes." These stories demonstrate that love can flourish naturally away from constant public scrutiny.
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda
For years, speculation swirled about actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda's relationship status. The couple finally confirmed their romance just days before their grand wedding on February 26, 2026. Their much-anticipated union has been officially dubbed #ViRosh, with wedding festivities now underway in Udaipur. The pair first met on the sets of 'Geetha Govindam' in 2018, where their friendship gradually blossomed into love, culminating in their decision to marry.
Neeraj Chopra and Himani Mor
Indian Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra stunned the nation in 2025 by sharing his wedding picture on social media, creating an internet sensation. Chopra married Himani Mor in an intimate ceremony on January 16, 2025, after which the couple traveled abroad. Nearly a year later, they hosted a lavish reception in India attended by numerous celebrities and even Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the chief guest.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma
Despite persistent rumors about their relationship, cricketing legend Virat Kohli and actress Anushka Sharma maintained complete silence about their romance. Their surprise wedding at Borgo Finocchieto in Tuscany, Italy on December 11, 2017, delighted fans and friends alike while breaking the internet. The ceremony remained strictly confidential with only 42 close family members and friends in attendance. Since then, the couple has welcomed two children and continues to prioritize privacy in their family life.
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal
Although speculation about Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal's wedding reached fever pitch in 2021, the couple deliberately avoided discussing their relationship until after their marriage. Even during intense dating rumors, they refrained from mentioning each other in interviews. They made their relationship official following their private, high-profile wedding in Rajasthan on December 9, 2021. The couple has since become more vocal about their mutual admiration and welcomed their first child, son Vihaan, on November 7, 2025.
Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra
Bollywood typically favors extravagant weddings, but Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra orchestrated one of the industry's most secretive unions. On April 21, 2014, the power couple married in a private ceremony in Italy's picturesque Cortona—completely avoiding paparazzi and maintaining an exclusive guest list of close family and friends. Years of relationship rumors, fueled by their professional collaborations at Yash Raj Films, preceded their intimate Tuscan wedding. Notably, designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee created Rani's bridal lehenga on just one week's notice, later describing it as a "mad wedding." The couple welcomed daughter Adira in 2015 and has consistently maintained their privacy.
Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar
Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar surprised fans with their intimate, secretive wedding in April 2018. Rather than a celebrity spectacle, they opted for a simple ceremony in Alibaug surrounded by close family and friends. Wedding pictures shared later on social media showed Milind in traditional dhoti attire while Ankita looked radiant in a classic sari with floral jewelry. Despite their age difference, their relationship is frequently described as rooted in deep companionship and mutual respect.
Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar
In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic's aftermath, actress Yami Gautam astonished fans by announcing her sudden, intimate wedding to filmmaker Aditya Dhar. Their small, traditional ceremony remains memorable years later. Approximately five years after their wedding, the couple became parents to son Vedavid. True to their private wedding style, they continue to shield their son from public attention to ensure a normal upbringing.
These seven celebrity couples demonstrate that in an era of oversharing, some relationships thrive best in privacy. Their stories reveal that love can develop beautifully away from the spotlight, with weddings serving as the perfect moment to share their joy with the world.
