Celebrity couples who are almost never photographed together

Together since 2011, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are one of Hollywood’s most notoriously private couples despite their star status, never even officially announcing their 2022 nuptials to fans. Despite Eva being the bigger social media user of the pair, she rarely posts anything to do with Ryan or the couple’s two daughters, Esmeralda (2014) and Amada Lee (2016).

Ryan revealed to GQ that he took a break from Hollywood after the birth of his second daughter to “spend as much time as I could” with his family, as the pair cultivated privacy over red carpet appearances. In a rare public tribute to her husband, Eva shared a review of Ryan’s performance in Barbie on her Instagram in 2023 with the caption “Mi Hombre, Mi Vida”, translating to “my man, my life”.

Cameron Diaz married Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden in 2015 after publicly dating for a year, and the pair have frequently made their desire for privacy apparent. Already parents to daughter Raddix, born in 2019, the couple took to Instagram announcing the birth of their son Cardinal in 2024, stating that they “won’t be posting any pictures” of their brood.

While fans usually wait for the rare red carpet appearances this Hollywood couple make together, Benji shared a rare glimpse into their happy partnership with a touching anniversary post in 2025, writing, “Every day getting to have my best friend with me ride or die….what a beautiful life-  I am GRATEFUL!!!”

Outside of the Barbie star’s many film premieres in recent years, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley are rarely caught in front of the camera, with the director-actress pair both abstaining from social media. After tying the knot in a secret ceremony in 2016, the couple continued to prioritise privacy as both their careers continue to grow.

The couple worked together on I, Tonya (2017) shortly after their wedding, with Margot sharing a glimpse into their relationship with Extra: “We did this film instead of our honeymoon. There were times we were sitting in a car parked in Atlanta freezing cold being like, 'We should be on a beach right now!’”. The pair went on to welcome their first child in 2024.

With only four guests at their 2011 nuptials, it’s clear that Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are a Hollywood duo that value their privacy. While the couple sometimes dazzle with loved-up red carpet appearances, they tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, both abstaining from any social media.

“I think we really love our private life as a life, as a family, and then we go to work separately,” Rachel told Today in 2023; the couple are parents to daughter Grace (2018), and the former James Bond star previously told The New York Times “I don't want to be away from home as much as I have in the past”.

Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz have been notoriously private since their low-key Bahamas nuptials in 2010, with Javier’s publicist previously telling Vulture that he “doesn’t seem to yearn to be a celebrity”. While the movie star pair are occasionally snapped together on the red carpet, they keep candid glimpses into their lives to a minimum.

The couple are also fiercely protective of their kids, with the Vanilla Sky actress telling The Telegraph, "You will never see a picture of my kids on Instagram”.

Since tying the knot in 2017, Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander have kept details of their relationship under wraps, keeping photos to a minimum outside of supporting each other at movie premieres. The couple are parents to two sons, born in 2021 and 2024 respectively, and haven’t publicly announced their children’s names.

“I’m not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger unless I feel like I need to,” Michael remarked to The Sunday Post in 2016, with Alicia adding that they’ve “made a clear statement that we keep certain things just between us”.
