The Hollywood couple wed in the Bahamas earlier this month

As one of Hollywood's most notoriously private couples, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem managed to pull off a top secret wedding, marrying earlier this month in the Bahamas.

Cruz's rep has confirmed to People that the 36-year-old Oscar winning actress married her 41-year-old beau in an intimate wedding, where the bride wore a gown designed by friend John Galliano.

JAVIER & PENELOPE: RELATIONSHIP IN PICS

The couple have been quietly dating since 2007, refusing to comment on their relationship, or even confirm it, to the press.

They first met when co-starring in Spanish film Jamon Jamon back in 1992, and have since starred side by side in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, for which Cruz won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2008. The year before Bardem picked up the Best Actor statue for his role in No Country for Old Men.

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Bardem!
