Getting married away from public attention is nothing new, but keeping it all under covers for three years takes an exceptional commitment to secrecy. It’s especially incredible that Simon Hall and Matt Bomer managed to outpace social media, which is what occurred when they got married in 2011.

Kim Catullo And Christine Quinn
