Gordon-Levitt, 34, and McCauley, also 34 and the CEO of robotics company Fellow Robots, married quietly on December 20.

The former child star has been dating McCauley since at least 2013. He said they met through mutual friends, but he told Howard Stern that the pair like to stay off the celebrity circuit.

“I have a girlfriend but I tend not to really like to talk about it in public,” he said in September 2013. “The girl that I’m with, she really doesn’t want to be a part of that.

“I get up in movies and I play other people, so when the audience is watching me in movies, I don’t want them thinking about me and who I’m dating, and blah blah blah,” he added.
