Academy Award winners Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem had a low-profile wedding earlier this month at a friend’s house in the Bahamas, PEOPLE is reporting. The 36-year-old actress and the 41-year-old actor held the intimate, private wedding with several friends and family members. Cruz wore a dress designed by her friend John Galliano.

The Spanish couple first met in 1992 while filming the movie ‘Jamon Jamon.’ However, the didn’t start dating until they reunited in 2007 on the set of the Woody Allen film ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona,’ for which Cruz won her Best Supporting Actress Oscar last year.

Much like their wedding, the two kept their dating relationship a secret. Cruz wouldn’t even confirm that she was dating Bardem, who was the first person from Spain to win an Oscar. He picked up a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, for his role as a killer in the Coen Brothers Best PIcture Oscar winner ‘No Country for Old Men.’
