‘Madam Secretary' co-stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly are now real-life spouses
The pair of actors, who shared the screen on the CBS political drama, will now share a life together as husband and wife, making their TV romance a reality. Leoni, 59, and Daly, 69, tied the knot Sunday in a private ceremony, The Times confirmed Tuesday.
Leoni and Daly began dating in the summer of 2014 and starred in 'Madam Secretary' as United States Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord and her scholar husband Henry McCord. The series aired on CBS from September 2014 to December 2019.
A representative for Leoni did not confirm additional details about the newlyweds' ceremony, but People reported that the actors' intimate nuptials took place in New York with only immediate family as attendees.
Leoni and Daly began their romance just before the former finalized her divorce with 'X Files' star David Duchovny. Leoni and Duchovny wed in 1997 after meeting on 'The Tonight Show' and share two adult children, actor West Duchovny and Kyd Miller Duchovny. Before David Duchovny, Leoni was married to TV producer Neil Joseph Tardio Jr. from 1991 to 1995.
Daly's marriage to Leoni marks his second: He was previously married to theater actor Amy Van Nostrand. The exes share children Sam and Emelyn.
Before crossing paths on 'Madam Secretary,' both Leoni and Daly had established their screen careers with a variety of TV and film credits. Leoni came to the CBS series with films including 'Bad Boys,' 'Spanglish' and 'Jurassic Park III' under her belt. She also appeared in the series 'The Naked Truth' and 'Flying Blind.' Daly's resume includes the series 'Wings' and 'Private Practice,' and he voiced Superman in several animated projects.
In a March 2024 interview with the 'Really Famous With Kara Mayer Robinson' podcast, Daly spoke to its host about finding love on 'Madam Secretary.' He said his views about starting a committed relationship later in his life changed once he met Leoni.
'It's the deepest, most fun, most truly intimate relationship I've ever had,' he said.

Rachel Zegler Is Set to Return to 'Evita' After Leaving Mid-Show
Rachel Zegler's gig as the titular character in Jamie Lloyd's revival of Evita at the London Palladium has been all over our social feeds thanks to her stunning performances, but she made headlines for a different reason during her latest show. On July 24, the Cosmopolitan cover girl suddenly exited the stage mid-show as she had fallen ill. According to People, Rachel's departure was announced during intermission, and her understudy, Bella Brown, stepped into the role despite appearing as Perón's Mistress earlier in the night. After a 45-minute intermission, Bella transformed into Evita just in time for the Tony-winning musical's second act. A source in the audience told E! News, 'The interval lasted almost 40 to 45 minutes and then the balcony scene with Bella began. You would have thought the roof was going to cave in from the applause. Even more so when she entered on stage for the first time after the balcony scene.' She opened with the iconic number, 'Don't Cry for Me, Argentina,' marking her second time playing Eva Perón after she made her debut on July 14. In this production, Jamie Lloyd and Andrew Lloyd Webber pulled a page from his Sunset Blvd. book and takes the performance outdoors. At this point in the show, Eva sings to a crowd of Argentinians from the balcony of the Presidential Palace, which is actually the London Palladium's balcony IRL. Since Evita's opening night on July 1, the general public has swarmed the outside of the venue on Argyll Street to catch a glimpse of the stars in action. After Bella carried the rest of the show in Rachel's absence, she received a standing ovation that lasted nearly five minutes, and according to fans on social media, the cast had bowed 10 separate times during the curtain call. She expressed her appreciation for the cast, crew, and crowd with a series of Instagram Stories following the performance. 'Today really showed just how important swings and covers are within this industry,' the actress later wrote in an Instagram Story. 'They are pillars of a show!! A proud day to be at Evita.' In a separate post, she added, 'What a lucky audience getting to see both myself and MY ANGEL REG ZEG!!' While we hope Rachel has a speedy recovery, her rep confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she is scheduled to return and perform Friday evening.

Taylor Swift Gives Travis Kelce a Subtle Shout-Out After Going Instagram Official
THE RUNDOWN Taylor Swift doesn't post on Instagram often, but she returned to the platform less than 24 hours after Travis Kelce made their two-year relationship Instagram official on his account. The singer didn't repost his carousel of personal photos from their downtime together during his offseason. Instead, she gave shout-out to his project, Happy Gilmore 2, in which he has a small role as a waiter. With one little honey pot emoji, she gave a wink the plot surrounding his character. She wrote, 'Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie! An absolute must-watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as possible 🍯' Happy Gilmore star Adam Sandler raved about Kelce's performance earlier this week at the film's New York City premiere. 'Travis and [Bad] Bunny are ridiculous in it,' he told People. 'Every athlete kicks ass.' Neither Kelce nor Swift attended the event. The Kansas City Chiefs player literally wasn't able to; training camp had just started in Missouri. Swift and Kelce have an exciting fall ahead of them as his football season begins. 'Her schedule is much more open now that the Eras Tour is wrapped, and she's genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently,' a source told People on June 12. 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy but they made it work,' the source added. Now, 'Taylor plans to be at as many of his games as possible,' the insider said. 'They've both had such demanding schedules for so long, so having this stretch of time where things aren't quite as chaotic feels like a welcome change.' Watch Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix
