Spanish actors Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz have joined the ranks of Oscar-winning married couples after tying the knot in the Bahamas, Cruz’s spokeswoman confirmed.

The family-only ceremony took place at a friend's house earlier this month.

Cruz wore a John Galliano dress during the private wedding.

The couple appeared together in Woody Allen's 2008 romantic comedy Vicky Cristina Barcelona, for which Cruz won a supporting actress Oscar.

Bardem won a best supporting Oscar for his role in the Coen Brothers' 2007 crime thriller No Country For Old Men, in which he played Anton Chigurh, a relentless Mexican hitman.
