Aduba and Sweeting secretly wed in 2020, later sharing the news publicly in 2021 around their one-year anniversary. During an interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan in November 2021, Aduba explained, “We were just taking the year to ourselves to enjoy the time and have some quiet time together, and then we were having our anniversary come up. [We did it] quietly and with a small group, of course — our most loved and closest family and friends. It was awesome.”
