Kerry Washington’s secretive wedding to husband Nnamdi Asomugha completely blindsided the whole Hollywood media until their 10th anniversary. She recently gave hints of private family plans.
Although Kerry Washington is very chatty when it comes to talking about her career, she draws the line with respect to her private life. Over the years, the actress has revealed very little detail about her famous husband and family.
The actress, 46, tied the knot with NFL star Nnamdi Asomugha, 41, in a secret ceremony in June 2013. The couple shares children — daughter Isabelle Amarachi, 8, and son Caleb Kelechi, 6. Asomugha also has a daughter from a previous relationship.
Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha met while the latter was performing in “Race on Broadway.” Asomugha joined a friend to watch the show and Washington describes the day as one that completely transformed her life.
Since retiring from his successful NFL career, Asomugha has followed in his wife’s footsteps in acting. Despite being a power couple, the duo has deliberately kept their family business private.

Kerry Washington’s Secretive Wedding Closing In On 10th Anniversary
Kerry Washington’s secretive wedding came up during her recent interview with ET’s Kevin Frazier. The reporter caught up with Washington at the premiere of her latest show “Unprisoned” on Thursday in LA.
The actress who is set to celebrate a milestone anniversary with Asomugha walked the red carpet at the event. Amidst her photo session, Frazier interviewed her about her new series and her forthcoming 10th wedding anniversary.
When asked about the milestone anniversary, Washington looked pleasantly surprised. She proceeded to query Frazier about how he was able to keep tabs on the date.
The “Scandal” star had been quite chatty up until that point but quickly became coy about her plans for the special day. She started by heaping praise on her husband by saying:
“I do have an incredible husband.”
She continued:
“Do you remember how secret my wedding was? How private and secretive it was? That’s how the anniversary is gonna be too!”
Over the years, Washington has been very vocal about how she prefers to keep her marriage out of the spotlight. And her approach seems to be working wonders as the couple has continued to blossom.
The actress even joked about how her friends now come to her for relationship advice while referencing her role as a therapist in her new series.
Washington portrays Paige Alexander — a single mother and therapist in the new Hulu series “Unprisoned.” The series is set to be streamed exclusively on the network from March 10.
