Oooh la la! Claire Danes has married her fiancé Hugh Dancy in an intimate wedding ceremony in France.
The Romeo and Juliet star met Hugh while the pair were shooting the film Evening two years ago and only announced their engagement in February.
The couple tied the knot a few weeks ago, but details have only just emerged of their small celebration.
Claire, 30, and Hugh, 34, were married in a low-key ceremony with just their families and a few close friends, a source told Life & Style magazine.
The couple’s relationship has always been down-to-earth, so it’s no surprise they would shun a huge A-list affair for their nuptials.
Mamie Gummer, who worked with the pair on Evening, told People that she watched Claire and Hugh fall in love over games of Scrabble on set!
And Claire seems to have the right approach to making a marriage go the distance.
‘While relationships are work, this just didn’t feel like it. It’s the kind of work that feels energising rather than enervating,’ she recently told BlackBook magazine.
‘I find it very freeing to know that, okay, it takes constant nurturing and attention, but I can also stop looking for the one.’
