In the world of music, where every note and lyric is often subject to public scrutiny, some artists choose to keep their personal lives, especially their romantic relationships, under wraps until they say “I do.” This approach allows them to maintain a level of privacy amidst the chaos of fame. Here are some musicians who have successfully kept their relationships private until their weddings.
1. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen
Although John Legend is a global superstar, he managed to keep his relationship with model and television personality Chrissy Teigen relatively private during their early years together. The couple met on the set of his music video for “Stereo” in 2006 and dated for several years before getting engaged in 2011. They tied the knot in September 2013 in a romantic ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, sharing only a glimpse of their relationship until they exchanged vows.
2. Adele and Simon Konecki
Adele has long been known for her soul-stirring ballads, but she has also maintained a low profile when it comes to her personal life. The singer began dating Simon Konecki in 2011, and while they welcomed a son together, their relationship was kept largely under wraps. It wasn’t until they were reported to have married in 2018 that fans learned about the extent of their commitment. Adele’s choice to keep her relationship private resonated with many of her fans, allowing her music to take center stage.
3. Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin
Justin Bieber’s relationship with Hailey Baldwin (now Hailey Bieber) had its share of public attention, but the couple managed to keep much of their romance under the radar. They rekindled their relationship in 2018 after a previous romance in 2016. The couple announced their engagement in July 2018 and tied the knot in a civil ceremony shortly after. It wasn’t until September 2019 that they had a more elaborate wedding celebration, and the buildup was largely private, capturing the interest of fans who had been rooting for their love story.
4. Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn
Ed Sheeran has often sung about love and relationships in his music, but when it comes to his own love life, he has kept it surprisingly private. He dated Cherry Seaborn, a childhood friend, for several years before they tied the knot in January 2019. The couple managed to keep their relationship largely out of the public eye, with Sheeran only sharing snippets through his music. Their wedding announcement was a delightful surprise for fans who appreciated the couple’s discretion.
5. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are another couple who have navigated the public eye carefully. After dating on and off since 2016, the couple got engaged in February 2019. They welcomed their daughter in August 2020, but details of their relationship were kept under wraps until their wedding plans were revealed. Their low-key approach has allowed them to enjoy their relationship away from the constant spotlight of fame.
6. Kacey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly
Kacey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly had a beautiful love story that started in the shadows of the limelight. The couple kept their relationship private until their wedding in October 2017. Musgraves often referred to Kelly in her songs, which hinted at their relationship but kept details out of the public eye. Their decision to keep their relationship private resonated with fans who appreciated their authenticity.
In an industry where every detail of a celebrity’s life is often scrutinized, these musicians have chosen to maintain a level of privacy around their relationships until their weddings. This decision allows them to focus on their careers and personal happiness without the constant pressure of public attention. Their stories serve as a reminder that love can flourish away from the spotlight, leading to beautiful commitments that fans can admire from afar.
