Don Cheadle recently revealed that he secretly tied the knot with long-term partner Bridgid Coulter last year. The “Avengers” star officially confirmed the marriage during an appearance on the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
Guest host Wanda Sykes was the first to break the news on the show, revealing that Cheadle texted her after his marriage:
"You texted me at the top of the year, I guess, and you told me that you just got married. And I was like, oh damn, the pandemic got to Don and Bridgid.''
Sykes playfully shared that she thought the duo were already married:
“I think I texted something back like, ‘hey, if you’re happy, I am happy for you. I was like Cheadle went Hollywood. Because I didn’t know you guys weren’t married.”
The “Hotel Rwanda” actor also agreed to his friend’s teasing statement:
"Yeah, I mean, that's understandable given that we've been together 28 years before we got married. I hold you blameless."
