We’re taking a look back at the celeb couples who tied the knot in 2023 — or whose weddings came to light this year…
Singer and former child star Alisan Porter — who won “The Voice” season 10 in 2016 years after coming to fame as the titular star of the movie “Curly Sue” — married childhood friend Justin de Vera at the Venus Garden Chapel at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on April 16 after six years as a couple. “I think for both Justin and me, we have been best friends for so long that this just feels like the next step,” Alisan — who wore a Sau Lee gown and sky-high Versace heels given to her by friend and wedding guest Adam Lambert — told People magazine, which has photos from her big day.
“We’ve known each other for over 20 years. We’ve had an amazing six years together, raised incredible kids and had our own baby. So this is what we’ve been waiting for.” (Alisan shares kids Mason, 10, and Aria, 8, with her first husband and is a mom to toddler daughter Shilo, who was born in 2021, with her new husband). Alison continued, “We have been best friends since and always loved each other. I’m a bit older than J” — she was 41 and he was 33 on their wedding day — “but we both went and lived amazing lives until the universe brought us back together.”

Actress Bonnie Somerville married creative director Dave McClain at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in California’s Santa Susana Mountains on April 8. The “Friends,” “Code Black” and “NYPD Blue” actress — who shared wedding photos with People magazine — revealed that she and Dave met on the Bumble dating app right before coronavirus lockdowns began in 2020.
“I truly was at a place in my life where I was ok with the thought of being alone. After seeing all my friends get married years ago, and have children, and many failed relationships, and bad decisions, I made peace with the fact I might never meet ‘the one.’ And then I met Dave,” Bonnie said. “When you meet someone later in life, especially in your 40s, you have more appreciation for what that means, I think,” the “Blue Bloods” and “The O.C.” actress added. “We both had a lot of life we lived. Dave was married before. I just think at our age, at least for me, having gone through a lot in life, I appreciate this more than I would have before. And you are very clear of what you want and need, so there is no wasting time. We both just knew. We got engaged after eight months. It was just easy and right.”

“Game of Thrones” and “The Tudors” actress Natalie Dormer and “Vikings: Valhalla” actor David Oakes are now legally linked: They confirmed the news — correcting reports that they’d married — in a joint statement on David’s Instagram Story on March 6. “Contrary to recent reports about us getting married, three weeks ago we entered into a civil partnership during an intimate and private ceremony in Bath — and we couldn’t be happier!” the couple shared. In England, a civil partnership has the same responsibilities as a marriage but is different in that it is entered into by signing a civil partnership document while marriage is entered into by exchanging vows.
Natalie and David met while starring in the play “Venus in Fur” in 2017 and went public as a couple in 2019. They welcomed a daughter in 2021.
