Some stars, however, are able to keep their relationships successfully under wraps. Let’s take a look at a couple of celebrities who were so successful, that nobody knew about their relationship until they got married.
1. Kim Min Seo
Actress Kim Min Seo, best known for her roles in Good Doctor, Moon Embracing the Sun, and Witch at Court, caught everyone off guard when marriage plans to her non-celebrity boyfriend were revealed.
