Downton Abbey star Allen Leech has married American Crime Story actress Jessica Blair Herman. The couple held their ceremony at an exclusive estate in Santa Barbara, California on Saturday, January 5, according to Hello!

They managed to keep their wedding plans a secret, sharing them only with close family and friends, including Leech's Downton co-stars Michelle Dockery and Dan Stevens. Also at the wedding were Golden Globe winner Rami Malek–who played Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody (Leech starred alongside him as the singer's manager)–and Glee stars Lea Michele and Darren Criss.

Leech and Herman announced they were engaged in February 2018 and naturally posted about it on Instagram.

"Happy Valentine's Day @jessicablairherman," wrote Leech. "First one as a fiancé!

"Thank you for saying yes and for making me the happiest. ❤️ (And no I didn't do it today. It's been a while.)"

Herman also posted about the engagement, writing: "The day you proposed was one of the best days but every day with you is my favourite. I love you!"

Allen Leech rose to prominence in the historical series Rome, but is best known for his role as Tom Branson in ITV's Downton Abbey. Jessica Blair Herman has appeared in American Crime Story: The People vs OJ Simpson, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 and Fresh Off the Boat. The pair have been dating since early 2016.
