Fans of ‘The Scandal’ actress Kerry Washington were shocked to discover that she and San Francisco 49ers corner back Nnamdi Asomugha secretly tied the knot last month after a one year relationship.

PEOPLE magazine obtained a copy of the marriage license that states that the groom, 31, and his bride, 36, got married on June 24 in Hailey, Idaho, the same day they filed for the license.

Kerry’s parents served as official witnesses, and one of Nnamdi’s relatives performed the ceremony.

In 2007, after the demise of her relationship with then fiance David Moscow, Kerry told PEOPLE, “I was always that girl who was in long-term relationships, and I was never really single. I had always met guys in other ways and never really did the whole dating scene where you go out on multiple dates with different guys.”

“I am totally the girl who gets introduced to someone through a mutual friend and a dinner party, falls in love and then is with them for like two years.”

Asomugha is a four-time All-Pro and played for the Oakland Raiders as well as Philadelphia Eagles before signing with the 49ers this off-season.
