In the age of social media, it’s more challenging than ever for couples to maintain a private life—even a simple trip to the grocery store can become the talk of the web if someone finds something to comment on. Still, some celebrity pairs have managed to stay under the radar and avoid the constant paparazzi flashes.
With the divorce rate among Hollywood celebrities reportedly higher than that of the general population, perhaps the key to a lasting relationship lies in keeping a low profile and refraining from discussing personal details about their love life, as the following stars have done.
Read on to discover 27 celebrity couples who have mastered the art of privacy in a world where oversharing is the norm.
#1 Daniel Radcliffe And Erin Darke
Daniel is in a relationship with Michigan-born actress Erin Drake, who has worked on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Good Girls Revolt and Still Alice. The couple met on the set of the 2012 film Ki*l Your Darlings.
The Harry Potter actor said he didn’t have to act much when playing Erin’s love interest. "Our characters are meeting and flirting with each other, so there is this kind of sweet record of us just meeting for the first time and flirting."
He also shared that he and Erin bonded over their “nerdy” interests, in addition to their love for film.
"I grew up doing lots of things where I thought, 'This is super nerdy. I'll never be able to do this around a girl.' But that's the wonderful thing about the moment you find the relationship you're meant to be in. It's like, 'Oh, I can do all of that stuff and you don't mind. And you actually think it's fun, too.’”
They welcomed their first child, a boy, in April 2023.

The James Bond star married The Favourite actress in 2011 in a secret ceremony that only had two guests: his daughter and her son. In 2018, they welcomed their daughter, Grace.

"He's just too famous. You have to protect your marriage,” she said. “When you're young, you tell your girlfriends everything. One of the great pleasures of not being an adolescent is that you don't have to share everything. When you're married, that door closes. The audience goes, and you're in your own life."
