The couple kept their relationship firmly underwraps as it is understood only his immediate family and a handful of his closest friends, who were sworn to secrecy, attended the wedding ceremony just before the 2013 NRL grand final.
According to the Sunday Telegraph, even Sonny Bill's Roosters teammates and his close friend Anthony Mundine were left in the dark about the wedding plans.
