Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem were married earlier this month

Hollywood supercouple Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem were married in a private ceremony in the Bahamas earlier this month and we’re just finding out about it now! I love the fact that these two were able to keep everything so quiet. As much as I’d like to see photos of Penelope in her gown I really hope that none are ever leaked. These two have rarely been photographed together and while they’ve attended events together it’s not like they’re posing holding hands on the red carpet. I have a lot of respect for the way they’ve been able to keep their relationship out of the tabloids. Here’s a little more about their wedding, and there aren’t many details:

Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem have always kept their romance under the radar – and their intimate wedding was equally low-profile.

Cruz, 36, and Javier Bardem, 41, exchanged vows in front of family members during a small, private ceremony held at a friend’s home in the Bahamas earlier this month, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The bride wore a gown designed by designer John Galliano, a longtime friend of the actress.

So who was there? I’m sure there were family members, but was Salma Hayek there with her billionaire husband and genius daughter? I have to reconcile my curiosity with the fact that it’s better for the Cruz-Bardems that their ceremony remains private and special. You know that they want it that way.

I kind of love that they made the announcement on a Tuesday night, just a smidgen too late for this week’s tabloids. The wedding won’t be in the supermarket mags until next week, at which point it will be old news. They’ll probably add some pregnancy and baby rumors in there to spice up the leftovers. Congratulations to Penelope and Javier and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together! This news is so nice to hear.

    Aw, congrats! I caught the tail end of this on the news, just saw her pic and wondered what happened.

    That’s awesome that they were able to do it so quietly – it sure has been a busy wedding and baby month so far.

  2. bellaluna says:

    Yeah! I am so happy for them! They seem so well-matched and so much in love. I’m so excited for them! I really like them both.

  3. ME says:

    Congratulations! Finally she finds the man of her dreams. She deserves all the happiness in the world.

  4. Miss X says:

    The photos only show up when the paps are called which is the case in 90% of those “accidental/caught” pap photos.

    She earned herself that Oscar by playing the beard for certain actors: Tom Cruise, Matthew Mac…..(can’t spell that name). And the rumours about her own interest have been too many to ignore which makes me think of Bardem. Hmm?

  5. lucy2 says:

    Congrats to them, both on the wedding and managing to keep it private!

  6. gloaming says:

    Oh lovely, something good happened in Celebland, and to a lovely couple!

    It’s been so bleak this last few days this is refreshing.

  7. irishserra says:

    He is beautiful.

  8. Ogechi says:

    Oh wow. I think they’re a cute couple! I wish them lots of love and happiness.

  9. bite me says:

    after penny bedded all her leading men, she finally got Javier, how sweet

  10. sarah says:

    I find him so sexy. Congrats to them!

  11. Jillian says:

    Congrats! I love them both.

  12. SolitaryAngel says:

    Congrats! I like these two, and wish them all the best. LOVE that they keep their lives quiet.

  13. gillie says:

    awesome! would love to see what PC wore, but im glad theyre keeping it private anyway. such a cute lowkey couple– best wishes.

  14. Maritza says:

    Many years of happiness for the beautiful couple!

  15. TQB says:

    It’s sad that I am so ridiculously happy about this – both that it happened, and that we didn’t hear about it. I agree, I will content myself with imagining how spectacular they both probably looked and hope to never see a picture. Love what you did there, lining up both their Oscar photos, hehehe.

    God, they are both such beautiful people…

  16. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    This is how people should be, low key and private.

  17. canadianchick says:

    Congrats! They’re both talented and sexy, hope it is a marriage made to last. Does he seem underwhelmed in some of those photos?

  18. Embee says:

    Such a beautiful couple…they make me want to believe… 🙂

  19. Nadia says:

    Crazy sexy couple.

  20. Guest says:

    They can keep it private because the tabloids do not care about them – not big sellers. I know that I sound like a cynic but it is true. I don’t think that they have anyone after them much. If they had 30 paps living at their house like some stars they would not be able to do anything private.

  21. Leek says:

    That’s great news for them.

    It’s also a pretty clear indication that it IS possible to stay out of the paparazzi lens if you make the effort to just lay low.

  22. Cam says:

    Congrats!! I’m very glad they managed to keep the wedding private. You gotta love those two!

  23. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    @Guest- you are a bit naive about PR and the paps. Celebs can keep their lives private if they want to.

  24. Donna Wingfield says:

    I think she’s one of the most gorgeous women on the planet. I hope they’ll be very happily married for the rest of their lives.

  25. Iggles says:

    Omg! This is the month for weddings!

  26. cat says:

    Congrats to them both, though Javi was suppposed to marry me! I really doubt Javier would have his people call the paps for photo ops, the last ones I saw of them on a beach it looked like as soon as they spotted the photographer they booked. Private couple, makes me like them more.

  27. TG says:

    @Guest While I agree with you that if the paps aren’t interested then it is easy to be private because no one is following you, I also think that they don’t court the paps attention. I am sure we would be seeing lots more of them and Johnny Depp and family if they wanted the paps to be around but they don’t. And look how secretive Sandra Bullock has been these past 6 months, I know the paps would have loved to have been around for that and they weren’t. I think it is all about the PR machine and famewhoring celebs.

  28. TeeTee says:

    He is a brillant actor, Congrats to him-her I don’t care for too much.

  29. Strawberry says:

    Re: bearding action referred to above. She also dated Matt Damon for awhile and he now has 4 kids. So he’s in the closet too?

  30. Monica says:

    Oh yeah! Fabulous!
    I don’t know why but this made my day!
    Gorgeous couple. Congratulations.

  31. mln says:

    What a sexy couple, congrats!!

  32. Blair says:

    #20 (Guest) is right. People don’t care, that’s why it was under the radar. They are not big stars. MOST people probably couldn’t even identify him, or identify her movies. She’s a product of pr, not a good actress and literally looks like a mouse. She’s also a pedo-loving Polanski petition signer and dropped in favor because of it

  33. Abbs says:

    I’m going to respectfully disagree with no paps because they are not big stars. The world is actually bigger than just the USA and they are actually stars in other places. While I concede you have a point in here, the Spanish tabloids would have paid a lot for the wedding pics and then by extension we would have seen them.

  34. Heaven-bound says:

    @ Blair

    She is not well known? Really?

    She is a huge star in Europe, and she is an awesome actress. Have you ever seen any of her movies with the the famous director Pedro Almodovar? You should, and then you can appreciate her range as an actor.

    Congrats to both of them!!! I love Penny’s hair.

  35. Tiffany says:

    These two need to start reproducing now…it will be a crime if thet don’t. That is all.

  36. I Choose Me says:

    Penelope signed the Polanski petition? Damn. I’ve always thought she was beautiful and a good actress. (She was so good in Volver) but this seriously lessens my opinion of her.

  37. hey guys i can’t wait for the expendables to come out! Its going to be awesome!

  38. Wow! This could be one particular of the most helpful blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject. Actually Great. I’m also a specialist in this topic so I can understand your hard work.
