Celebrity Weddings of Recent Times: Star I Dos
Spotlights, secret guest lists, couture gowns, and just enough drama to keep group chats buzzing because the celebrity weddings of recent times have delivered romance with a side of spectacle. From intimate “only 20 people knew” ceremonies to headline-grabbing luxury vows, mid-2025 through 2026 turned into a full-blown love parade.
Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco (Sept. 27, 2025)
Pop star Selena Gomez quietly wed producer Benny Blanco in California late in 2025. The ceremony was star-studded, with guests including Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. Gossip buzz says Selena stunned in Ralph Lauren bridal gowns, while Benny looked suave in a classic tux. With Taylor and Ed reportedly breaking into duets during the reception, this low-key wedding was actually big news for Hollywood gossip mills!
Hailee Steinfeld & Josh Allen (May 31, 2025)
In a beautiful garden ceremony surrounded by white florals, actress Hailee Steinfeld married Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Hailee was a vision in an off-shoulder bridal gown (complete with chic matching gloves) while Josh kept it classic in a tux. The couple, high-school sweethearts turned power couple, reportedly “shared emotional moments under the floral canopy” and sealed the deal with a passionate kiss. The news first broke when photographers captured Hailee walking down the aisle on May 31. Touchdown!
Drake Maye & Ann Michael Hudson (June 21, 2025)
New England Patriots’ rookie QB Drake Maye scored off the field by marrying his middle-school sweetheart, Ann Michael Hudson. The June 21, 2025 ceremony was an outdoor dream: think a lake backdrop with a flower-adorned wooden cross and twinkling lights. Drake went classic in a black tux, Ann stunned in a strapless lace gown. The newlyweds announced the big news via joint Instagram posts, sharing photos of the scenic ceremony. Of course, the wedding party brought the drama – Drake and his groomsmen even posed in a football-formation photo that went viral on social media. Cheers to forever, go Pats!
Jalen Hurts & Bry Burrows (Spring 2025)
Eagles star QB Jalen Hurts quietly tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Bry Burrows during the spring of 2025. In an interview published in April 2025, Hurts told Men’s Health, “You can call her my wife”, confirming the surprise wedding. The pair – who began dating in college – kept the ceremony private, but the news set social media abuzz. (Fans still can’t get over Jalen’s pink Post-it note from his wife: “You are exactly where you are supposed to be. I love you.”😍.) Forget the Super Bowl, this is the real championship ring!
Zach Wilson & Nicolette Dellanno (June 28, 2025)
NFL star and new Miami Dolphins QB Zach Wilson said “I do” to marketing executive Nicolette Dellanno in New York City. The June 28, 2025, nuptials took place at iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral, followed by a swanky reception at the Rainbow Room. Nicolette wowed in a corseted off-shoulder gown draped in lace florals; Zach looked dapper in a black tux (with a pop of butter-yellow on his lapel to match his bride’s bouquet). The couple, who got engaged in 2024, partied the night away – even cutting a rug to Bruno Mars’s “Marry You”.
Kim Cattrall & Russell Thomas (Dec. 4, 2025)
“Sex and the City” alum Kim Cattrall finally got hitched in late 2025. She and audio engineer Russell Thomas exchanged vows at London’s Chelsea Old Town Hall on Dec. 4, 2025, in an intimate ceremony with just 12 guests. The couple first met years ago at the BBC and kept things quietly romantic: no Kardashian-level drama here, just true love (and maybe a little Sex and the City nostalgia).
Brody Jenner & Tia Blanco (July 12, 2025)
Reality-TV star Brody Jenner (yes, Caitlyn Jenner’s son) married pro-surfer Tia Blanco in Malibu on July 12, 2025. The sunset ceremony took place on the Malibu estate of Brody’s mom, Linda Thompson, with about 70 guests—including Brody’s famous family members—looking on. Tia, a former world surfing champ, was a beach-babe bride in a flowy lace dress; Brody looked every bit the groom in a laid-back suit. Malibu’s surf fans were swooning – it was literally a “dreamy Malibu wedding”!
Justin Theroux & Nicole Brydon Bloom (March 2025)
Actor Justin Theroux (Friends’ ex-flame and Marvel’s Guardians guy) kept his wedding ultra-low-key. In March 2025 TMZ snapped photos of Justin and Nicole dancing on a beach – it turned out it was their wedding day. The couple married on the sand, with Justin in a classic cream-jacket tux and Nicole in a simple white gown. No press releases or red carpets – just beach vibes and big love.
Dave Navarro & Vanessa DuBasso (March 29, 2025)
Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro fulfilled a lifelong dream with his wedding. He and fashion designer Vanessa DuBasso exchanged vows at Scotland’s historic Dunskey Castle on March 29, 2025. Guests say it was straight out of a fairytale: Dave admitted they “always dreamed of tying the knot at a castle”. Vanessa walked down a stone aisle in an enchanted-white gown; Dave, bearded as ever, donned a sharp suit. If you thought rock-n-roll weddings were all tattoos and motorcycles, think again – this one was all bagpipes and bridesmaids!
Vanna White & John Donaldson (Jan. 21, 2026)
Wheel of Fortune’s beloved hostess Vanna White surprised fans with “Surprise! We got married!” on Jan. 21, 2026. After dating since 2012, Vanna and boyfriend John Donaldson quietly wed in a private ceremony (no TV cameras allowed!). The news was announced via Instagram – the first time many heard that these two “had made it official.” Vanna, of course, spelled out her new chapter in classic Vanna style: “We’re excited to share this joyful chapter!” she wrote.
Each of these celebrity couples put their own twist on “going public.” Whether it was secret elopements or star-studded blowouts, one thing’s for sure: these celebrity weddings of recent times gave us plenty to chat about. From romantic garden nuptials to surprise Instagram announcements, the highlights are as fun (and outrageous) as you’d hope.
