In the year 2023, most celebrities are a little boring. In a good way.
You can't blame them, really: They've pulled back from being super personal on Instagram. They won't discuss anything but 'the work' in interviews. Sometimes, the only photo evidence that two famous people ever even associated is a Deuxmoi rumour or a dark, blurry image.
And then there are Justin Long and Kate Bosworth, whose love is loud, a little sappy and very much in our faces.
Now, two months after confirming their engagement, the pair have secretly tied the knot in a ceremony in New York City, according to Page Six.
A source told the publication the couple, who met in 2021, tied the knot at The Rockaway Hotel in Queens last month.
"It was a very low-key ceremony. Onlookers thought it was an engagement photo shoot of some sort — not an actual wedding," the source said.
Long and Bosworth reportedly "fell in love" with the hotel after attending an event there and "decided to get married the next day right then and there".

The pair first sparked engagement rumours while attending theVanity FairOscars party together in March, with Bosworth's hand looking suspiciously blingy.
They later confirmed their engagement in an episode of Long's podcast,Life Is Short With Justin Long in April.
Throughout the two-hour episode — I told you, they reallylovelove! — the pair shared how Long proposed.
"I thought it was the most romantic and honest and loving proposal," Bosworth said.
Long said he had originally planned "a special thing" around Bosworth's 40th birthday in January, but "things change, and sometimes they change pretty drastically without any warnings".
Bosworth explained they "had just gone through this really hard thing and we had spoken to a therapist".
"We were trying to move through things at the time and she gave us a really great piece of advice which was, 'Make sure that you're pretty consistently asking the other what you need, or asking the other what they need'.
"I remember waking up not so many mornings after that therapy session and I looked at Justin ... I smiled at you, and I said, 'What do you need?' And he really looked at me and he said, 'To spend my life with you.'
"And I smiled and I said, 'Well, yeah, you have that. Oh my gosh, you have that,' and he said, 'No, I mean I really want to spend my life with you.'"
From there, Long said "The words just came out, like, so naturally."
Following news of their wedding, let's go through how this Hollywood couple came to be.
From the first meeting to the latest Instagram caption, here's Kate Bosworth and Justin Long's love timeline.
Before Justin Long, there was a divorce and a cryptic announcement.
Kate Bosworth and her ex-husband Michael Polish, who were together for over a decade, ended things in 2021 with a breakup caption that resembled a riddle that would confuse even the brightest of minds.
Paired with a photo of the two of them millimetres away from a kiss, Bosworth opened the statement with a quote:
“Do you want to split a burger?” Yes. “How ‘bout a shot of whiskey?” Hell yes. - Big Sur, 2011
She then launches into a narrative around their falling-in-love story, saying:
"The beginning is often the best part of love. Fireworks, magnets, rebellion — the attraction. The onset signals a wide open expanse of possibility. Split a burger with someone when you are falling in love, and you can die happily knowing this is your last meal. Buy a bottle of whiskey and share shots, pour me a waterfall. Play that perfect song on the jukebox and dance with someone you have known your whole life, though you met minutes ago."
But then Bosworth switches the tone, admitting that they have decided to end their marriage.
"Our hearts are full, as we have never been so enamoured and deeply grateful for one another as we do in this decision to separate. Together, over the last ten years, Michael and I have chosen love, every time. We hold hands as tightly today as we entangled fingers on our wedding day. Our eyes look more deeply into one another, with more courage now. In the process of letting go, we have come to acknowledge that our love will never end. The connection does not simply disappear. The love deepens, the heart expands."
And she addresses the elephant in the room, saying, "Perhaps this will sound strange to some, romantic to others," before stating: "To us: this is truth. And we will drink that down."
