Actors Ta Leoni and Tim Daly are officially married. The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony held in New York City, with only close family members present, according to a statement confirmed by Leoni’s representative.
Leoni and Daly met on the set of CBS’s political drama Madam Secretary in 2014, where they portrayed lead characters Elizabeth and Henry McCord — a married couple navigating the complexities of international diplomacy and domestic life. Their on-screen chemistry soon carried over into real life.
Their relationship began quietly, and by December 2014, sources confirmed they had been dating. Leoni’s romance with Daly followed her divorce from actor David Duchovny, with whom she shares two children. The couple had been married for 17 years before finalizing their separation in August 2014.
As reported by People, Leoni and Daly made their red-carpet debut as a couple in April 2015 at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C. They were seated alongside broadcast journalist Bob Schieffer and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, with Daly joking to Bloomberg TV at the time, “We’re gonna be a hot table.”
After their public appearance, Madam Secretary co-star Geoffrey Arend revealed the news came as a surprise to the cast. “Nobody knew,” he said, reflecting on how discreet the couple had been. The couple kept a low profile throughout their relationship, going out of their way to keep most of their personal lives off the radar.
