Sex and the City star John Corbett and actress Bo Derek got married in secret

John Corbett has revealed on US TV that he had a secret wedding with his partner of 20 years, film actress Bo Derek, last year.

A Sex and the City star is officially off the market.

John Corbett and Bo Derek secretly tied the knot in December after almost 20 years together.

“Around Christmas time we got married. Bo and I got married,” Corbett revealed to new host Jerry O’Connell on Tuesday’s episode of The Talk.

“I noticed your ring, and I was going to say something, but not on live television, but wow. Congratulations,” O’Connell, 47, responded.

The Parenthood actor, 60, confirmed that this is the first time he or 10 actress Derek, 64, has shared the news publicly, though their family and close friends have known all along.

“After 20 years, we decided to get married. We didn’t want 2020 to be that thing where everybody looks back and hated it. Let’s get one nice thing out of this.”

Their secret nuptials should come as no surprise, as the couple revealed in 2018 that spending time together outside of Hollywood is a key component to the success of their relationship.

“We both travel so much, so for us, our favourite vacation place is home,” Derek explained to Closer Weekly at the time. “That’s where the romance is.”

“We enjoy each other’s company; we make each other laugh,” Corbett said. “After 15 years we still hold hands; we still have barbecues with friends a couple times a week. [And Bo] still laughs at all my jokes even though she’s heard them a million times. We just enjoy each other. I’m sad when she’s not around.”

The pair were set up back in 2002 by Corbett’s friend, Hollywood agent Norby Walters.

“I said, ‘I’m not dating anyone,’ and he said, ‘I’ll get you a date, Corbett!’ And he set me up with Bo,” Corbett revealed on Today in 2015.
