Don Cheadle is a married man!
While appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday, the 56-year-old actor revealed to guest host Wanda Sykes that he and his longtime love, Bridgid Coulter, got married amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The news was first revealed during Cheadle's visit to the daytime talk show series when Sykes, 57, said she owed the actor an apology. "You texted me at the top of
the year, I guess, and you told me that you just got mar- ried," the comedian said. "And I was like, 'Oh damn, the pandemic got to Don and Bridgid.'"
"I was like, 'What the hell happened, man?'" she contin- ued to joke, before noting that her response back to Cheadle was less than en- thusiastic. "I think I just text something back, like, 'Hey, if you're happy, I'm happy for you.' ... I was like, 'Cheadle went Hollywood.'"
